The content of some heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn) in some food products – beef, milk, and cheese – obtained from a rural farm located in Voroveni, Arges, Romania has been investigated. At the same time, parallel investigations were done on samples of grassland soil. Atomic absorption spectrometry (GBC-Avanta) has been used to determinate the concentration of heavy metals: Cd (? = 228.8), Cu (? = 324.7), Zn (? = 213.9), Pb (? = 217 nm). It has been observed that the concentration of these heavy metals exceeds the accepted limit values, both in food and soil.
