Abstract

The paper examines heavy metal content in the soil and tomato fruits (Solanum lycoper-sicum M.) at four locations in the area of Belgrade and Pancevo during the year of 2019. Since all four locations are in the area of large cities, they are affected by dominant anthropogenic activities. The tomato was grown in greenhouses with the application of chicken manure as an organic ferti-liser. The concentrations of seven trace elements were determined by means of inductively coupled plasma with optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). The highest values of the studied heavy metals were recorded in the industrial zone of the city of Belgrade (L4). After fertiliser application, at the end of the vegetation period, there was an increase in the concentrations of As, Cr and Zn at all locations as compared to the values recorded prior to the fertiliser application. Regarding the national legislation, the concentrations of Ni (L3 and L4) and Cu (La and L2) in the soil were higher than the MLVs, while the elements did not exceed the MAC in tomato fruits. The research results showed that the application of the organic fertiliser had an impact on the heavy metal concentration in the greenhouse soil, but that the total content of these elements in the soil was not necessarily reflected in their content in the plant itself.
