The aim of this thesis is to monitor cadmium content in needles of Norway spruce and European beech leaves after controlled exposure to cadmium oxide nanoparticles and evaluate the potential risks of such nanoparticles to plants. Needles and leaves were harvested after a one-week and two-week exposure and prior to analysis of cadmium content, they were modified using relevant procedures. Samples were mineralized in nitric acid using pressurized microwave mineralizer and subsequently analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) with electrothermal atomization of cadmium content. Based on the results AAS analysis the transport of nanoparticles into the plant tissue of studied species was evaluated, comparing the content of cadmium in one week and two weeks experiment in the washed and unwashed samples of needles and leaves.
