Levels of Pb, Ni, Cr, and Cd in soil and fruits (Rubus idaeus -raspberry, and Vaccinium myrtilus - blueberry) at 26 locations in Montenegro were examined. Heavy metals content in the samples was determined by AAS method. In the soil, the content of heavy metals was below pollution threshold, except at one location (Kolasin region). In the berries, heavy metals content was mostly within normal range for plants and guideline values for fruits. The calculated daily intakes of metals through selected fruits consumption are found to be below the recommended tolerable daily intakes proposed by FAO/WHO.
