The waste of trace metals are led the pollutions of water, soil and air. That's why the accurate and sensitive identification of amount of trace metals in food samples and environment are gained importance in analytical chemistry because of their toxicity to human health. Besides, the direct determination of trace metals, presented at very low concentration especially in real samples, is difficult. In this content, before determination of trace metals by instrumental methods can be achieved successfully using separation/preconcentration procedures. The different synthesized chelating polymer resin adsorbents are successfully used for the SPE of trace metals. The trace metals, such as Cu, Cr, Co, Mn, Zn and Fe, are necessary for human health, when it has been taken at certain limits. But, the trace metals, such as Hg, Cd, Pb, Ni and As are toxic metals for the human body. About this, there are studies on the determination of trace elements and mineral in food samples and environment. In this study, new methods in the synthesis of (meth)acrylamides and

Heavy metals [Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), etc.] have an important place between the water pollutants due to their toxic features. Organic pollutants in the water, biodecomposition at the end of the time may be ruined, heavy metals, biodegradable products are not converted into harmless products. That's why, heavy metals must be removed from the surrounding waters [1, 2]. Due to the toxic features of heavy metals in the environment, researches on these are increasing. One of the most partner and effective methods used to remove heavy metals from wastewater is the adsorption method. This fact that adsorption is a common and effective method has always grown the selection of a good adsorbent. Therefore,

use as a sorbent in the trace metals extraction was identified.
