چکیده
|
Essential and nonessential heavy metals like iron (fe),nickel (ni),manganese (mn),zinc (zn),copper (cu),cadmium (cd),chromium (cr),and lead (pb) were analyzed in four selected medicinal plants such as capparis spinosa,peganum harmala,rhazya stricta,and tamarix articulata by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (faas). these medicinal plants are extensively used as traditional medicine for treatment of various ailments by local physicians in the area from where these plants were collected. the concentration level of heavy metals in the selected plants was found in the decreasing order as fe > zn > mn > cu > ni > cr > cd > pb. the results revealed that the selected medicinal plants accumulate these elements at different concentrations. monitoring such medicinal plants for heavy metals concentration is of great importance for physicians,health planners,health care professionals,and policymakers in protecting the public from the adverse effects of these heavy metals. © 2013 afzal shah et al.
