| Summary: | All human beings need healthy nutrition to grow, so the lack or excess of low-amount elements causes diseases in humans, for this reason, it is essential to know the presence of elements in food. Arak aluminum production factory is located next to Chogha village, so it is necessary to study the effects of this factory and other industries in the region on its agricultural products. In this study, the content of 11 elements was determined: aluminum, bromine, calcium, chlorine, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, scandium, and zinc in crops as wheat, barley, peas, beans and alfalfa prepared from the village of Chogha in the Arak region by neutron activation analysis, as well as 3 other elements, including arsenic, lead, and cadmium were determined by inductively coupled plasma analysis. Magnesium concentration from 1310 to 3970, manganese from 15.2 to 66.3, sodium from 14.2 to 1490, aluminum from 5.72 to 914, chlorine from 364 to 12000, calcium from 413 to 29600, bromine from 0.23 to 14.50, potassium from 4740 to 14700, iron from 10.1 to 1310.0, scandium from 0.033 to 4.02, zinc from 27.7 to 96.7, arsenic from 0.000 to 0.021, lead from 0.000 to 0.003 and cadmium from 0.00 to 0.02 mg/kg. The results show that the concentration of chlorine, manganese, magnesium, iron, sodium, aluminum, bromine, calcium, scandium, zinc, and lead in alfalfa, the concentration of potassium in pinto beans, the concentration of cadmium in barley, and the concentration of arsenic in wheat are higher than another analyzed sample. |
