• Description: In this work we report on a LIBS spectrochemical analysis of selected species of maize (Zea mays) and rape (Brassica napus) samples. Plants, from which the investigated leaf samples were taken, was treated with different concentrations of lead and/or cadmium (0, 100, 1000 mikroM) for five days. Utilizing LIBS the spatial distribution of the pollutants (Pb, Cd) was monitored.
