The analyses were carried out by Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The results showed that the values of the studied elements decreased in the order: Cu (13.01) > Se (12.25) > Mn (9.19) > Al (4.62) > Ag (2.34) > Hg (2.18) > Cd (1.22) > Ni (0.99) > Pb (0.79) > Sb (0.60) > As (0.41) > Ba (0.38) > Cr (0.22) > Co (0.07).
