Heavy metals represent a very significant group of environmental pollutants because they are potential metabolic inhibitors. A study was conducted in order to determine the content of heavy metals (Zn-56.0 mg/kg, Pb-17.9 mg/kg) and their accumulation in the wheat roots of Triticum sp. in the heading stage of four wheat varieties, to obtain information on the health safety of cultivated genotypes, and to determine which variety of wheat is the least susceptible to the accumulation of heavy metals. Variations in the content of lead and zinc in wheat roots in the grading phase were expressed at all localities and in all varieties so that the differences were statistically significant (Pb- 1.00-3.17 mg/kg; Zn-3.73-4,67 mg/kg)
