Various essential and toxic heavy metals (Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr, and Ni) contents in various types of dried (infant formulaandpowdered) and fluid (freshandprocessed) cow milk were assessed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The milk samples were collected from local markets of different parts of Peshawar city, Pakistan. Heavy metal concentrations varied significantly depending upon the type of milk. The heavy metal concentrations in most of the samples were within normal and permissible ranges. It was observed that the samples contained considerable amounts of calcium, while magnesium levels were well above the required levels. The results also revealed that copper levels were slightly lower than the permissible limits. The concentration of zinc in dried milk samples was greater than the values for the liquid milk types. Infant milk formulae had higher iron levels as compared to other milk samples because of the added constituents. Significant differences were observed in the mean values of manganese and cadmium in different types of milk. The toxic metals were within the acceptable limits and did not show significant levels leading to toxicity.

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to determine heavy metal concentrations in the tree bark of the species Poincianella pluviosa in Volta Redonda municipality, Rio de Janeiro. Four sets of barks of eight trees with three replicates each from sectors 1 (W), 2 (S), 3 (E), and 4 (N) of the Volta Redonda center corresponding to the cardinal points were collected. The samples were digested in a nitroperchloric mixture and the lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) contents were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The cluster analysis (CA) formed 12 groups; among them, group 3 (G3) showed the presence of all seven elements in sector 1 and group 8 (G8) showed the presence of Pb, Zn, Fe, Ni, and Mn in sector 2. Kruskal-Wallis and Bonferroni tests showed that all elements presented statistically different values among the four sectors when compared with each other (p > 0.05). Sectors 1, 2, and 3 had the highest concentrations of heavy metals, which are directly associated with vehicle and railroad flow and iron and steel activities that are concentrated in these sectors. Bark can be used as an effective method for the monitoring of air pollution in urban areas.

Background. The potential toxicity of metals in water may have detrimental effects on the biochemical processes of aquatic organisms, especially fish, which serve as a source of protein in the protein-deficient Nigerian diet. Objective. The present study aimed to determine the concentration of heavy metals in African catfish (C. gariepinus) and investigate the health risk associated with heavy metals in fish. Methods. Heavy metal concentrations in the water samples were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) and particle induced x-ray emission spectroscopy (PIXE) for sediment and fish tissues/organ samples. Results. Mean nickel (Ni) concentrations differed significantly (p&lt;0.05) by sample type in both the dry and rainy seasons. Similarly, during the rainy season, mean lead (Pb) concentrations in all of the samples from Osogbo differed significantly (p&lt;0.05) by type, with the highest concentration in fish muscle (10.11±1.21 μg/kg) and the lowest Pb concentration in pond water (1.72±0.05 μg/L). Mean chromium (Cr) concentrations of samples from the Ewuru/Rara stream in Yakoyo also differed significantly (p&lt;0.05) by type, with the highest concentration in fish muscle (113.10.±10.07 μg/kg) and the lowest concentration in pond water (3.31±0.22 μg/L). Discussion. Heavy metal concentrations in pond and stream sediment samples revealed transport and deposition processes where trace metals are deposited and incorporated into sediment after entering the aquatic system. Iron (Fe) had the highest concentration levels ranging from (196.21 μg/g – 698.65 μg/g) in the three locations investigated, while Pb levels were the lowest, ranging from (9.05 μg/g – 75.30 μg/g). Conclusions. In general, the concentrations of Cr, copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) were below standard guidelines, while the concentrations of nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) were fairly higher than the tolerable limits for water pollution standards.

Presence of hazardous minerals in three major components (soil, forage and buffalo serum) was evaluated for determining extent of metal contamination in Sargodha, Pakistan. Ten soil and forage samples for each season were taken from ten randomly selected sites. 30 grazing buffaloes of �niliravi� breed (calves, non-lactating and lactating) were also sampled randomly from these sites for collection of serum. Heavy metal quantification via atomic absorption spectrophotometry was carried out for selenium, molybdenum and arsenic. Non-significant but positive correlation was found for selenium (Se) concentrations in soil, forage and serum and molybdenum (Mo) concentrations in soil and serum. Negative correlation (p]0.05) was obtained for Mo level between forage-serum and soil-forage which was indicative of molybdenum deficiency in the soil. The results suggested that the heavy metals remained below maximum permissible levels and were non-toxic for the ruminants of the study area.

Lipstick or lip dye is a cosmetic dose that serves to coloring, decorative the lips, as a moisturizing material and protect the lips from exposure the sun to provide optimum results. Lipstick should not contain chemicals such as lead (Pb) because the Pb is a heavy metal that is very dangerous when continuously used on the skin, because it will be absorbed into the blood and attack the body organ causing the onset of disease. According to BPOM that the lead rate on the lipstick does not exceed the permissible limit of 20 mg/kg or 20 ppm.This research aims to know the levels contained in the samples are 4 brands of matte lipstick that are sold in the Aceh market in Banda Aceh City with the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that on the 4 brands of lipstick matte contain heavy metal lead (Pb) with a rate still qualified allowed by BPOM  is samples A, B, C, and D, respectively at 0.24 ppm; 0.10 ppm; 2.87 ppm and 1.32 ppm, so that the 4 brands of lipstick matte are still used.
