[Mineral properties of roots and rhizomes of Sanguisorba oficinalis].

The content of 25 mineral elements in roots and rhizomes of Sanguisorba oficinalis stored up in Kemerovskaja region were determined by the method of spectral emission and atomic-absorption spectroscopy. The data are important hygienic criteria for quality of raw materials. The content of Cu and Pb does not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations adopted in this country for these elements. The relatively high concentrations of some elements observed in separate samples reflect ecological conditions of growing place of this plant.
