“…The above described figures of merit for the analytical method applied are in the range for the determination of trace elements in biological samples. LODs in a similar range were also obtained by other working groups [ 17 , 29 ]. Limit values for Cd and Pb in fruits and vegetables are stipulated (see Table 4 ).…”

“…In addition to the LOD values, the recoveries obtained by analysing the CRM (ranging from 85% to 113%) are given in Table 2 . These figures of merit are in the range of reported ones for similar studies [ 26 , 29 ]. The coefficients of determination ( R 2 ) of the calibration curves are all beyond 0.9995.…”

“…A Russian study reports Cd in blue- and cranberries in the range from 0.03 mg/kg to 0.06 mg/kg d.w. [ 3 ]. Strawberries collected in Serbia did not contain Cd at detectable concentrations either [ 29 ]. Blueberries collected in China were reported to contain 0.034 mg/kg Cd [ 41 ], slightly above the LOD of the current study.…”

“…Data for Cr in blueberries are given by Hua et al, who found 0.77 mg/kg [ 41 ]. Additionally, in fresh strawberries the Cr content is quite low, ranging from 0.01 mg/kg up to 0.03 mg/kg [ 29 ]. Wild berries from Portugal, analysed by Llorent-Martínez and colleagues, found Cr in blackberries, elderberries, autumn olives, and candleberry-myrtles up to 0.6 mg/kg fresh weight [ 17 ].…”

“…Wild berries from Portugal contain Ni in the same order of magnitude, namely from 0.6 mg/kg to 1.6 mg/kg [ 17 ], as our results for lingonberries. Additionally, results for strawberries are in the same range [ 29 ]. Regarding rose hips, the literature data are available for Turkish fruits, with the mean content being 6.5 mg/kg d.w. [ 44 ].…”

Fruits and vegetables are considered a beneficial contribution to the human diet. Especially, berries contain a great deal of bioactive compounds, such as anthocyanins, organic acids, tannins, phenols, and antioxidants. Apart from organic substances, inorganic nutrients are also present in fruits. Some metals and metalloids are essential for humans, whilst others may exhibit harmful effects. Wild grown berries, collected in so-called unpolluted areas, are considered to be free of any potentially toxic ingredients. However, due to transmission processes pollutants can also reach remote areas and, furthermore, metal uptake from the soil via roots has to be taken into account. Thus, the presented study focused on the determination of Al, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb in lingonberries, blueberries, and rose hips collected in a non-polluted area in Croatia. Neither Cd nor Cr could be found in any sample. Ni levels were mainly up to 25 mg/kg, in a comparable range to the literature data. No health threat is to be expected by eating these fruits and berries regarding Cd, Cr, and Ni. Rose hips, however, contain Pb beyond the stipulated limit in fruits, and also Al is present at a high level (8 mg/g).

Chemical contamination of foods pose a significant risk to consumers. A source of this risk is due to the consumption of products contaminated with heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). The aim of the study was to research the levels of Cd and Pb contamination of selected species of vegetables and fruits in the form of fresh, frozen, dried and processed products. The goal was to verify which of these food groups was more contaminated with heavy metals. The study covered 370 samples of fruits and vegetables including apples, pears, grapes, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, as well as beetroots, celeries, carrots and tomatoes. The content of Cd and Pb was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Quantitative results were analyzed using statistical models: analysis of variance, outlier analysis, post-hoc multiple comparison Tukey test. The tests showed that the levels of Cd and Pb concentration in samples of fresh, processed, frozen and dried fruits and vegetables varied substantially. The highest concentrations were recorded in dried products. Several fruit and vegetable samples exceeded the maximum permissible concentrations of Cd and Pb. The contamination of these products could be a significant source of consumer exposure to heavy metals when these products are a part of the diet.
