Obtained recoveries percent were: 84.5±9.9% for Cd, 97.3±2.7% for Cu, 1 00.7±0.7 % for Pb and 83.4±1.7 % for<br />
Zn. Instrumental detection limits were: 1.2 ngg -1 for Cd, 3.6 ngg -1 for Cu, 5.9 ngg -1 for Pb and 14.3 ngg -1 for Zn.<br />
Application<br />
Obtained results are reported on Table 1. Cd (II) was not found in any olive oil sample. The highest<br />
content of Cu (II) was found in the sample originated from biological strategy (96.1±5.3 ng g -1 ). A lower<br />
content of the metal was presented by the samples produced from plants treated with organic pesticides<br />
associated or not to copper oxy-chlorine, such as copper oxy-chlorine/<strong>di</strong>methoate (91.4±5.1 ng g -1 ) and copper<br />
oxy-chlorine/fenthion (60.0±3.1 ng g -1 ). A smaller level of Cu was found in samples originated from<br />
<strong>di</strong>methoate/fenthion (56.8±3.3 ng g -1 ), <strong>di</strong>methoate (38.3±0.4 ng g -1 ) and no treated sample (44.8±1.5 ng g -1 ).<br />
The smallest Cu concentration was found in the oil originated from copper oxy-chlorine treatment (26.0±2.3 ng<br />
g -1 ).<br />
Oil samples produced from olive grove treated with organic pesticides - copper oxychlorine/fenthion<br />
(222.6±2.3 ng g -1 ), <strong>di</strong>methoate (179.2 ±1.9 ng g -1 ), <strong>di</strong>methoate/fenthion (165.0±1.5 ng g -1 ) - showed a higher<br />
lead amount respect to samples treated only with copper oxy-chlorine (47.5±0.5 ng g -1 ), no-treated sample<br />
(34.6±0.4ng g -1 ) and the sample from biological strategy (17.3±0.2 ng g -1 ), which presented the lowest Pb<br />
content (fig.1). An exception was represented by the sample treated with copper oxy-chlorine/<strong>di</strong>methoate<br />
(32.8±0.3 ng g -1 ).<br />
Samples produced from olive groves treated with copper oxy-chlorine/fenthion (576.0±6.3 ng g -1 )<br />
presented the highest content of Zn, followed by biological strategy (550.0±5.8 ng g -1 ) and copper oxychlorine/<strong>di</strong>methoato<br />
(433.2±4.7 ng g -1 ) samples; the oils treated with <strong>di</strong>methoate (176.0 ±1.9 ng g -1 ), copper<br />
oxy-chlorine (161.5±1.7 ng g -1 ), <strong>di</strong>methoate/fenthion (140.8±1.5 ng g -1 ), showed a Zn level remarkably<br />
lower. The smallest concentration of the metal was found in no-treated sample (59.8±0.7 ng g -1 ).<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
Samples produced from no treated olive grove and by plants treated only with copper oxy-chlorine,<br />
always showed a lower content of Cu (II), Pb (II) and Zn (II) respect to samples originated from olive grove<br />
treated with the organophosphorated pesticides <strong>di</strong>methoate and fenthion. These molecules, which contain S, P<br />
and O atoms, may influence the mechanism of metals uptake of the plants by complexing the cations (10).<br />
Samples originated from biological fight always present a high amount of the micronutrient Cu (II) and Zn (II)<br />
and a very low concentration of Pb (II).<br />
