Scrub is a type of cosmetics that has been widely used for skin care. However, many women do not realize that among the cosmetic products, including the scrubs they usually use, they may contain dangerous ingredients such as heavy metals. The use of scrubs, especially traditional scrubs that contain ingredients from nature, allows heavy metal contamination. This study aims to validate the analysis method of cadmium heavy metal content in traditional scrubs in the city of Tasikmalaya. Sample preparation used the wet digestion method using HNO3: H2O2 (3: 1). Cadmium was analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry at a specific wavelength of 283.3 nm, respectively. After obtaining the optimum digestion process and tools, the cadmium method was validated with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) which included linearity tests, detection limits, quantification limits, precision and accuracy. The results of the validation of the analysis method obtained a linear calibration curve in the concentration range of 1-8 ppm with a linear regression equation y = 0.1237x + 0.0247, the value of the correlation coefficient = 0.9982. The detection and quantitation limits were 0.63 ppm and 2.11 ppm. Intra-day and inter-day precision is SBR <2%. The retrieval or accuracy obtained is 101.64 - 105.49%.

The potentially important mechanism of biological mobilization of lead from lake sediments was investigated. Lead concentrations of the crustacean Mysis relicta from Kootenay Lake, determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, were compared to published lead sediment concentrations from the same sites. There is a strong correlation between sediment-lead concentration and Mysis-lead concentration. This correlation may indicate that Mysis can accumulate lead from the sediment and return it to the open water.Key words: Mysis relicta, lead, heavy metal contamination, contaminated sediments.

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.

GRAPHITE FURNACE ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AS A METHOD FOR ANALYZING HEAVY METAL. Heavy metal, mostly present in a (ultra) trace-level, becomes one of the hazardous pollutants due to its toxicity, bioaccumulative, biomagnification characters. Conducting a micro analysis of these trace-level pollutants, a sensitive instrument and method are strongly recommended. Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (GFAAS) offers a solution for the challenge. It uses the principle of light emission absorption by nascent atom cloud from the metals. The analysis has been developed in three stages of the tube heating programs, i.e. drying, ashing and then atomizing element at 3000° C. Since the injected sample is almost completely atomized, the sensitivity of GFAAS is extremely high and this value is covering up the disadvantages of the other analyses. Therefore, the GFAAS analysis is suitable fo ultra-trace analysis of ultra-trace pollutants like heavy metals in environment.

Background: Indonesia is a country that has a tropical climate throughout the year along with relatively less difference of temperature during both dry and rainy seasons. The mobile community influences people’s interest in packaged drinks, including canned fruit juice. However, the first obstacle is the condition of the place and the temperature-related heavy metal lead (Pb) migration in canned orange juice drinks. Methods: This study focused on the relationship between Pb metal content, storage treatment, storage temperature, and storage time. This study used a canned orange juice drink from the distributor warehouse of Palembang city, standard Pb(NO3)2 (Merck) powder, 0.5 mol/l concentrated HNO3 solutions (Merck), concentrated HCl solution (Merck), demineralized water, Buffer pH 4.7, and 10. The sample was conducted from 5 °C to 40 °C with the testing period within 1-30 days. The sample at certain day intervals would then be tested to change pH and Pb ion concentration using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) test. Results and Discussion: In this study, the sample of orange juice was given different treatments, and each treatment has a differentiated analysis code consisting of S-SBJ-1-1 (Distributor warehouse) for one day of storage time, and the codes for 10 of storage time are SSBJ-10-1 (Freezer, temperature 5 °C), S-SJB-10-2 (Refrigerator, temperature 20 °C), S-SJB-10-3 (Homeroom, temperature 28 °C), S-SJB-10-4 (Oven, temperature 40 °C), S-SJB-10-5 (Open space, temperature 22°C - 38 °C). Furthermore, codes for 30 days of sample storage are S-SBJ-30-1 (Freezer, temperature 5 °C), S-SJB-30-2 (Refrigerator, temperature 20 °C), S-SJB-30-3 (Room house, temperature 28 °C, S-SJB-30-4 (Oven, temperature 40°C), and S-SJB-30-5 (Open space, temperature 22 °C-38 °C). Conclusions: Temperature and time have a significant influence on the migration of the heavy metal lead (Pb) from the can to orange juice drinks, and, for the minimum pH value, there is a less significant change. Overall, canned fruit juice should be stored at a temperature below 28 °C, and the drink is protected from direct sunlight and high humidity.

Abstract Most conventional digestion procedures, such as dry ashing and wet ashing, are tedious and labor intensive. Microwave digestion is agood alternative, because microwave dissolution is faster, safer, and simpler, and provides more controlled reproducible conditions than conventional methods. The purpose of this study was to develop a microwave digestion method for mineralizing meat and bone meal diets, feces, and ileal contents. Each sample was heated on a hot plate for 10 min, dry ashed at 65°C for 4 h, and transferred into microwave vessels. Then, 10 mL 70% HNO3 was added. Samples were digested for 7,10, and 20 min at 95,90, and 85% power, respectively. After the heating cycle, 6 mL 30% H2O2 was added, and samples were returned to the microwave for a second heating cycle of 1 and 7 min at 95 and 90% power, respectively. Finally, chromium concentration was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The digestion method was validated by using a standard reference material, SRM domestic sludge 2781, with a certified chromium value of 195 ± 9 μg/g. The value obtained in this study was 178 ± 11 μg/g, for a difference of 17 μg/g. Spike recovery experiments resulted in 103.16 and 100.35% recoveries of chromium from diet and feces samples, respectively. Coefficients of variation were 10.8 and 7.8%, respectively.

ABSTRACT Validation of analytical methods is the process of proving that the methods used are scientifically good and suitable for certain purposes. The aim of this study was to validate the analytical method of lead in fish meal matrix by electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy (ETAAS) using a phosphate modifier. The research begins with optimization of the analytical conditions that include pyrolysis (ashing) and atomizing temperature, and continues with the validation process by evaluating the analytical performance parameters using a certified reference material (CRM). Method validation was carried out by determining the level of accuracy and precision as well as lead content in a CRM Cod Muscle-422 from BCR. Each experiment was conducted at a wavelength of 283.3 nm, a lamp current of 9.0 amperes, a slit width of 1.3 nm and an argon carrier gas. The optimal pyrolysis and atomizing temperature of lead obtained by adding phosphate modifier was 650 oC and 2000 oC, respectively. The results obtained in this study indicate that the ETAAS lead analysis method using a phosphate modifier is feasible as a test method with an RSD of 3.79%, precision of 0.0043, relative error of 4.0%, accuracy of 104% and recovery of 98% ± 3%. The results of the validation method obtained that the 95% confidence interval for Pb content was 0.088 ± 0.023 µg/g, still within the range of Pb levels in the certificate, namely 0.085 ± 0.015 µg/g of Pb.
