Italian term

metalli pesanti estraibili

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng EC REACH Regulation
It is a table for a declaration of compliance to EC Safety Standards:

METALLI PESANTI ESTRAIBILI:
Sb-Antimonio
As-Arsenico
Pb-Piombo
Cd-Cadmio e suoi composti
Cr-Cromo
Co-Cobalto
Cu-Rame
Hg-Mercurio e suoi composti
Ni-Nickel

I've found this site which probably explains what 'estraibili' means in Italian:

Thank you for your help !

removable

when it is to be "taken out of a solution", chemists usually would use
"removable".

Urban activities may significantly contribute to elevated heavy metal loads in atmospheric deposits and consequently in the edible portion of the vegetables. Thus the present study was conducted with the objectives to investigate the accumulation of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb) on the (Talinum triangulare, Celosia argentea, Amaranthus viridis, Cucurbita maxima and Corchorus olitorius) leaf surfaces through the concurrent analysis of unwashed and washed leaves from urban and remote areas. Water-washing by shaking mechanically removes much of the particulate found on the leaf surfaces, allowing the fractions of particle-bound heavy metals to be estimated. This study therefore, aimed to distinguish the ** water-removable fraction of heavy metals ** and the fraction present in leaves, potentially supplying useful information on the pollutant fraction damaging to leaf physiological processes.
