Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the concentration of 24 elements in root and leaves ofspinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and in soil using ICP-OES. Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Si, Sr,Ti and Zn metal concentrations in spinach samples were found to be 30–151.6 mg kg-1, 0.2–1.4 mg kg-1, 3.8–13.6mg kg-1, 1615–14131 mg kg–1, 0.3–1.5 mg kg-1, 6.9–113.2 mg kg-1, 96.1–420.1 mg kg-1, 23215–132772 mg kg1,2109–7271 mg kg-1, 19 – 90.5 mg kg-1, 604.4 – 22750 mg kg-1, 0.1–1.3 mg kg-1, 5.5–7.5 mg kg-1, 140–475mg kg-1, 24.6–66 mg kg-1, 2.0–28 mg kg-1 and 23.9–123.9 mg kg-1, respectively. Statistical comparisons forcomment on the obtained results were done by using one-way Anova test. According to statistical evaluations,it was found that there are meaningful relations in P < 0 .01 and P < 0.05 significant levels between elementconcentrations (Al, Ba, Co, Cr, Fe, K, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Si and Ti) in roots and leaves of the spinach and elementconcentrations of the soil.
