By increasing the world-wide population, the consumption of beverages has grown significantly. Beverages usuallycontain different heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and arsenic (As), which are toxic for humans and the environment.In our work, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) method was used for quantification of Arsenic (As) and lead(Pb) contents in various beverages. Fifty-nine samples were collected from the Isfahan market and were divided intoeight groups based on flavor. All groups were contained Pb below the allowable range (50 ng/mL) and also7 out of8 groups were contained As more than permitted level (10 ng/mL). According to our results, it is important to controlfrequently heavy metal contamination in beverages due to the usage by a wide range of people.
