Heavy Metals snd total Sulphur content in Vegetables collected in the Bor Region (Serbia)

Abstract: This study was aimed to assess the levels of Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni and total S in edible parts of vegetables. The vegetables were sampled from an agricultural area of Bor. The descriptive statistics of element concentrations in vegetables and hierarchical cluster analysis are given in the paper. The concentrations of elements were highest for S, followed by Cu and Zn. Cluster analysis showed that some elements formed a separate cluster due to higher concentrations. High concentrations of Cu, total S and Zn in the vegetables from Bor region, compared to the results obtained from the literature, may indicate contamination.
