The leaves were dissolved by wet digestion method using a mixture of mineral acid. Concentrations of Ag, Al, B, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sn, Sr, Sb, Si, Ti, U, Zn, and Zr in prepared solutions were determined by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). High Ca (13,848 mg/kg) and Mg (1,936 mg/kg) concentrations were found at the leaves. Obtained values were compared with the internationally permitted (standard) values. The results of elements were analyzed statistically (analysis of variance test). For different leaf sizes, concentration factors were calculated. © 2008 Humana Press Inc.EnglishAnalysis of VarianceCalciumMagnesiumMalvaMetalsPlant LeavesSpectrum AnalysisTrace ElementsTurkeyMalva sylvestrisaluminumantimonybariumbismuthboroncadmiumcalciumchromiumcobaltcopperinorganic acidironlanthanumleadmagnesiummanganesenickelpotassiumsiliconsilversodiumstrontiumtintitaniumtrace elementuraniumzinczirconiumarticlechemical analysischemical compositionconcentration (parameters)controlled studyMalvamalva sylvestrismass spectrometryplant leafArticle10.1007/s12011-008-8270-0
