abstract = "Due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.)
Medic., has been considered a medicinal plant, and hence, it is frequently used for teas and
tincture preparation. In this research, samples of this medicinal plant were collected in
Belgrade, Bor, Vršac, and Sremska Mitrovica in Serbia, during the spring of 2021. This
study assessed the levels of toxic and essential elements accumulated in theabove-ground
parts of a plant, and herbal infusions, and ethanolic extracts prepared of same aerial parts
of plant. The concentration of elements: As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn, S,
P, Mg, K, and Ca was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission
spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Translocation factors were calculated for each sampling site,
followed by correlation analysis, in order to investigate elements distribution and
extraction levels.",
