Abstract

This research focused on the determination of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) distribution in different agricultural soils and Ambrosia atremisiifolia L. (ragweed) at seven, different locations in the northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Quantification of PTEs was done using atomic absorption spectrophotometry provided after acid digestion of the air-dried samples of soil and plant material. Determined content of elements in the soils increased as follows: Cd
