ABSTRACT
The contents of cadmium were determined in plant products cultivated in the neighborhood of the
Głogów (n=127) and Legnica (n=18) copperworks. The contents were recorded using the atomic absorption
spectrometry (AAS) method after dry mineralization, and cadmium was extracted to isopropylacetone. The
results were compared with the acceptable levels established in Europe. The content of cadmium ranged
between 0.0-76.0% of allowable values. The exceeded content of cadmium was found only in one sample.
