Overview
The method of differential pulse polarography was employed to determine the content of the toxicmetals lead and cadmium in the drugs Flos tiliae and Flos sambuci collected on purpose in the courseof seven years in two ecologically different localities: in „an ecologically pure environment“ and inan ecologically damaged environment“. The gained results are evaluated on the basis of therelationship of an increased content of the toxic metal and a locality, and particularly whether theycomply with the requirements for the allowed limits proposed in the literature for the metals understudy in the drugs used for pharmaceutical purposes.
Key words:
