The estimation of selected heavy metals (Lead and Cd) was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Therein, the levels of Lead (Pb) range from 1.0791+0.023ug/kg to 0.07060.+007ug/kg; the ranges of Cadmium (Cd) are 0.0552+0.003ug/kg to 0.0045+0.006ug/kg. The results revealed varying degrees of heavy metals in the selected plastics examined. Pb was highest in Plastic Bottles (PB) and lowest in Straw (S); whereas, Cd was highest in Straw and lowest in Plastic Bottles. KeyWords - Heavy metals, Pb, Cd, plastics, straw, plastic bottles
