Abstract
This study focused on estimating levels of some heavy metals in five brands of fruit. Heavy metals was determined by Atomic absorption spectrometry ( AAS). Concentrations of the studied metals varies between (15.01 ± 2.45) PPm for Fe, (4.23 ± 1.50) PPm for Cu, (1.25± 0.002) PPm for Pb, (0.55± 0.002)PPm for Cd, (1.46 ± 0.47) PPm for Zn. The levels of these metals exceeded statutory safe limits except for Zn
