Determination of Heavy Metals and Trace Element Levels in Honey Samples From Different Regions of Iraq and Compared with Other Kind

摘要

The aim of study quantitative analysis of toxic heavy metals Cd, Pb, Ni , AS, V and trace element Fe, Mg, Se ,Cu, Mn, K, Na, Cain different kinds of Iraqi honey of bee and compare with other types. elements were determined by FAAS and GFAAS method. Because of the nutritional value and high medical honey for humans so it was necessary to appoint metals of great importance. High concentration of essential metals and Heavy metals can be toxic both to man and animals. The results indicated that the Seand K elements recorded at high concentrations (0.0384-712.8)mg/kg respectively while the Cu element recorded the low concentration(0.1) mg/kg in all kind of honey samples. The contents of heavy and trace metals in honey samples were found to be between (0.100-0.730)mg/kg for Pd,( 0.108-0. 8200)mg/kg for Cd, (0.210-0.894)mg/kg for Ni,(0.117-0.440) mg/kg for Fe,(0.0024-0.0348) mg/kg for Se, (0.260-0.721)mg/kg for Mg ,Cu0.1, (140.8-240.8) mg/kg for Ca,(51.0-120.8) mg/kg for Na,(93.80-712.8) mg/kg for K,(0.0116-0.0708) mg/kg for Mn,(0.0091-0.086) mg/kg for V, for As (0.0104-0.035) mg/kg.
