Özet

The consumption of plants and their use for medicinal purposes are increasing day by day. Therefore, knowing the plant contents is important for human health. In this study, multi-element contents of nineteen species belonging to four different families were determined. The multi-element contents of different species of the same genus belonging to these families were compared. Also, the element contents of different parts of the same genus were compared. The element contents of different species of the same genus and different parts of the same species have been determined that be different from each other. In addition, the Cd and Pb content results of the species were compared with the maximum allowable concentration values in raw plant material of World Health Organization's (WHO). Cd content in all species was found to be higher than the value determined by the WHO. Only the Pb content of the Sternbergia clusiana Boiss. (A3) was found to be higher than the value detected by WHO.
