The contamination of these areas directly affects the brown rice. Because, during the time the rice plant grows, it is exposed to this water as if the sea creatures were exposed to sea water. In this study, concentrations of nonessential toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb) and the micronutrients (Cu, Zn, Mn,) in twenty brown rice (O.sativa) was investigated. The total heavy metal contents of the brown rice samples collected from the Ipsala-Meriç-Uzunköprü regions were determined in the ICP OES. Concentrations of all metals measured in brown rice have been determined below the maximum permissible limits. © 2017 Namik Kemal University - Agricultural Faculty.
