ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

This paper presents the results of the analysis of heavy metals by ICP-OES method in the inflorescences of the species Achillea lingulata and Achillea distans subsp. distans from the geographical area of the Kopaonik mountain. The presence and content of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn were determined. A review of the available literature revealed that the heavy metals content in A. lingulata and A. distans has not yet been investigated. The content of Cd and Pb is below the maximum permissible values in medicinal plants as recommended by the WHO.
