Abstract
Environmental pollution is one of the major problems which create health hazard to human and animals. Heavy  metals are one of the most important reasons of this pollution. The objective of the present study was to determine concentration levels of some heavy metals  namely nickel, cobalt, zinc, copper, cadmium, lead,  chromium and iron in some Egyptian foods. The obtained  results showed that most of Egyptian foods available in the local market had a higher concentrations of heavy metals in comparison with the FAO (1983), WHO (2000) and FDA (2001)
