Abstract: The study aimed to investigate the presence of some heavy metals in the different used paper tissue paper in the local market, evaluate their types in terms of their safety and highlight the risks arising from the excessive use of anonymous tissue paper. At highlighting the potential damage from the impact of the use of different tissues paper on human health in terms of the probability of the presence of heavy metals in the tissue paper product. The presence of the following metals (Cadmium, Lead, Chromium) war investigated in 20 random samples from the market where seven different types of homemade and imported brands were collected. The concentration of cadmium in all types of samples ranged from (0.21 - 0.05) ppm, where the highest concentration of the cadmium in the sample (A8) and the lowest concentration was in the sample (T4). The concentration of lead in all types of samples ranged from (0.01 - 0.32) ppm where the highest concentration of the lead in the sample (A9) and the lowest concentration was in the sample (A3 / A1). For the samples K2, A11 did not give absorption. The concentration of chromium in all types of samples ranged from (0.07-1) ppm where the highest concentration of the element in the sample (A4) and the lowest concentration were in the sample (A9).
