In the present study, the concentrations of two heavy metals lead and cadmium (Pb, and Cd) in 26
different of dried fruits samples (Orange, Mango, Pear, green Apple, read apple, Banana, Normal
melon, Pineapple melon, Coconut, Lemon), chips and pasta samples were determined by Flame
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy after wet digestion. Samples were collected from different stores
in Baghdad market, Iraq. The average of Cd mg/kg concentration in the selected analyzed samples
was 0.0220-0.2261 for pasta, 0.0467-0.2797 for chips, 0.0385-0.2261 for dried fruit. For Pb mg/kg
average was 0.0090-0.0167 for pasta, not detected-0.0626 for chips, 0.0031-0.088 for dried fruits.
The highest concentrations of Cd were found in chips, and the highest of Pb were found in dried
fruit.
