Determination of the Level of Traces Essential Metals (Cu, Fe & Zn) and Toxic Metals (Pb & Cd) from Nettle Leaves (Urticadioica L.) Grown from Gozamin Woreda

Nettle, Stinging Nettle (Common names) Urticadioca; Urticaurens (Scientific is considered by many to be a bothersome pest, but the nettle has been used since ancient times as source of food, fiber, and medicinal preparations. They also called in commonly nettle, weedy perennial plant family (Urticaceae). It known for its stinging leaves classified eukaryote. Because they contain true nucleus membrane bound organelles. The accuracy optimized procedure was evaluated analyzing digest spiked samples with standard solution percentage recoveries varied from 91.2% 109%. concentration determined (mg/100g dry weight) were ranges Fe (14.583 –14.7916), Cd (0–0.4076), Cu (0.4182–2.2962), Zn (13.432–18038) Pb (0.001–0.3083). From these high trace metals. A statistical analysis variance (ANOVA) at 95% confidence level indicated that there significant difference levels metals among two means except Pb. results indicates Gozamin are good essential free toxic metal. All this study slightly comparable WHO guideline vegetables.
