A Bio Collector - Ultrasonic Leaching Method (BC-ULM) was developed for the analysis of heavy metals (Pb, Cd,Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe and Al) on plant sprouts for the assessment of environmental pollution. Fabaceae Rabinia Pseudoacacia L. and Pinaceae Pinus Sylvertris L. sprouts were chosen as bio-collectors. The bio-collector sprouts were leached using 1% HNO3 solution under ultrasonic effect and the obtained leachate samples were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).
