Determination of Metals in Brazilian Coconut Water Using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer

A presença de espécies metálicas na água de coco, provenientes de diferentes estados brasileiros, foi investigada. A técnica de ICP OES foi utilizada para determinar Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn e Cu, sem mineralização da matriz. Utilizando parâmetros instrumentais otimizados as determinações apresentaram RSD geralmente menor que 2% e boa exatidão. Os valores de LOD (mg L) foram: Ca 0,06, Mg 0,004, Mn 0,...

Heavy metals determination in honey samples using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry

BACKGROUND Honey contains a complex mixture of carbohydrates and other minor substances. Elements are minor constituents of honey that may threaten the human health in excess concentrations. So, determining the metals in honey helps its quality control as a food product. The aim of this study was to determine the concentrations of some metals in Iranian honey. METHODS This study was performed...

Determination of metals in plant samples by using a sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.

The capability of pine needles to be used as bioindicators of trace metals in the environment is discussed. Samples were collected around the Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares, the largest nuclear research center in South America and chosen to be the sampling target area. Results obtained for the elemental content of Th and U in samples collected nearby an uranium facility were, re...
