A pot experiment with soil was conducted to observe the effect of increasing additions of Cd on the content of some secondary metabolites in camomile anthodia (Matricaria recutita L.), cv. Novbona. The application of Cd into the soil resulted in a decreased content of essential oil in dry matter of the drug. The content of chamazulene in anthodia dry matter decreased by 28 percent and that of (-)-alpha-bisabolol by 20 percent. On the contrary, the level of (E)-beta-farnesene and eneyene-dicloethers increased with increasing level of Cd in the soil. On the other hand, soil Cd failed to affect accummulation of flavone apigenin and coumarin herniarin in camomile anthodia. No visible symptoms of toxicity were observed on the plants during the experiment. Therefore production of anthodium per plant was not influenced significantly by Cd addition to the soil
