Abstract
Levels of arsenic, lead and cadmium in cherries of harvest years 1911 to 1986, home-sterilized in glass jars, were determined by atomic abso rption spectrometry. Concentrations of arsenic showed a decreasing tre nd during that period, presumably reflecting the discontinuation of th e use of arsenic-containing pesticides. Unexpectedly, some of the olde r samples also contained more lead or more cadmium than more recent sa mples.
