This research was conducted in 2016 with the aim of investigating the concentration of heavy metals of cadmium, lead and arsenic in ten rice imported in Dezful. This experiment was carried out 3 replications and in the form of the completely randomized design(CRD). Statistical analyses were performed using the MSTST-C statistical package and means were compared with Duncan test at 5 percent level. In this study, the means of concentrations of Cadmium, Lead and Arsenic in the all rice samples were 1.063±0.012, 31.1± 1.04 and 124.5± 3.43 µg. Kg-1, respectively. The results of the analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference in among the studied rices relate to the amount of cadmium, Lead and Arsenic at the level of one percent. The results showed that the maximum concentrations of cadmium, Lead and Arsenic were in 5, 2 and 2 rices (1.36, 58.5 and 146 µg. Kg-1, respectively) and also minimum concentrations of cadmium, Lead and Arsenic were in (9, 10), 8 and 10 (0.93, 15.8 and 0.95 µg. Kg-1, respectively). amount of cadmium and Lead in the all rice samples were lower than the limit standard of that were provided by the food and drug Administration and the amount of Arsenic in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were more than the limit standard that was provided by the food and drug Administration.

The use of medicinal plants plays a vital role in improving the health of human society. Since the plants are the most important transmission route of heavy metals into human food chain and biological cycles, this study which was carried out in 2016, aimed to evaluate the heavy metals such as, lead and Cadmium in ten medicinal plants in Kermanshah. After preparing three samples of each medicinal plants, samples were taken from the acid digestion and the accumulated concentrations of the elements were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. This experiment was carried out 3 replications and in the form of the completely randomized design(CRD). Also statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS statistical packages. The results showed that the minimum and maximum concentrations of cadmium were in Liquorice and Betony (13.7 and 90.7µg. Kg-1 respectively) and also minimum and maximum concentrations of lead were in Dill and Chamomile (9.91 and 20.73µg. Kg-1 respectively). The mean accumulated concentration of any studied elements in specimen is not greater than the WHO approved guidelines. Therefore, the consumption of medicinal plants has no consequences of health hazard for consumers but considering that these medicinal plants have been used extensively in the Kermanshah and harvest and preparation are undisclosed locations, and probability bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the long term will bring, then continuous monitoring of accumulated amounts of heavy metals in medicinal plants is recommended.

Water, soil and crops pollution to lead is the result of human activities. This research was conducted with the aim of studying the amount of lead in vegetables, water and soil of farmland in Dezful. 48 vegetable samples (mint and basil), 12 samples of water and 12 soil samples were taken from farmland (south and east) of Dezful during the summer of 2016. Determination of lead element in samples was performed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that mean concentration of lead in basil and mint were 6.85±3.11and 7.3± 8.23 mg kg-1, respectively. Also, Mean concentration of lead in water and soil were 20.64 mg l-1 and 0.49 mg.kg-1, respectively, so that concentration means in basil and mint higher than standard levels (WHO/FAO). The strong correlation between the concentration of heavy metals in vegetables (basil and mint) and their concentration on the water and farmlands soil there which represents the simple transfer of heavy metals from water and soil to vegetables.
