Cadmium exposure, which can lead to neurotoxic, nephrotoxic and carcinogenic effects, is primarily related to the consumption of products of plant origin. In recent years, a new consumer behavior may be observed, often referring to the local folk traditions. One of them is birch tree sap collecting and consumption. The aim of the study is to assess the cadmium content in birch tree sap collected from an agricultural area which, until recently, has been intensively exploited. Samples were taken from four localizations with a known history of agricultural use. The cadmium content in the tree sap samples was estimated by an atomic absorption spectroscopy technique. A significantly greater amount of cadmium was found in the tree sap collected from the localizations where potatoes were grown (4.2±1.99 μg/kg and 4.11±1.56 μg/kg). In turn, the smallest amount was recorded near the farm (1.66±2.86 μg/kg), where there was no cultivation. The cadmium content found in the studied birch tree sap samples is much lower than the maximum levels specified in the applicable legislation. Thus, birch tree sap consumed in the Niwiska municipality (Podkarpackie voivodeship) can be regarded as safe and does not pose health risks in terms of cadmium content.
