Leaf, beet, root and soil samples were taken from Beta vulgaris plant. Heavy metal (As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Cr) contents were analyzed using ICP-MS device. In terms of sugar beet consumption in Kayseri province, Turkey, determining heavy metal accumulation and health risks will be very important in terms of these metals. Heavy metal concentration levels in sugar beet samples collected from the region are as follows; nickel (Ni) > copper (Cu) > chromium (Cr) > arsenic (As) > lead (Pb) > cadmium (Cd). When As, Cd and Cr elements are compared with the limit values, it is observed that they are within the allowed limits. Cu, Ni and Pb indicate the potential for negative contributions to health through sugar beet consumption. The study reveals health concerns regarding the heavy metal content of sugar beet samples grown in Yeşilhisar, Kayseri province and recommends that necessary measures be taken to reduce the occurrence of Cu, Ni and Pb observed in sugar beet samples from this region.
