The study was aimed at assessing the levels of some toxic metals of lead and cadmium in selected lipstick products sold in Padang city. Four brands of lipsticks were taken which were BL, NK, PS and WD. The lipsticks were grinded and analyzed for heavy metals (lead and cadmium) using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Each sample was destructed by nitric acid and perchloric acid (3:1). Destructed samples were added with sodium hydroxide to liberate ammonia and filtered into a 25 mL volumetric flask. The concentrations of heavy metal were measured by using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed that lead heavy metal contamination was not detected. Whereas, the heavy metal contamination of cadmium in lipstick brands BL, NK, PS and WD were 0.2287, 0.2000, 0.1796 and 0.1220 mg/kg, respectively. The study results showed that all metal contaminations of lead and cadmium were not over the limit which were regulated by National Agency of Drug and Food Control of the Republic of Indonesia.

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.

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.

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%.

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.

In the era of industrialization, pollution has totally deteriorated the quality and diversity of life. Heavy metal contaminations are the major causes of environment deteriorations. The basic reasons are natural as well as anthropogenic. Chief sources of heavy metal contamination are air pollution, river sediments, sewage sludge, town waste composts, agricultural chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides, and industrial waste like factories releasing chemicals, anthropogenic activities, etc. Agricultural soils in many parts of the world are generally contaminated by heavy metal toxicity such as Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Pb, Hg, As, etc. These are due to the long-term use of phosphate fertilizers, sewage sludge, dust from smelters, industrial waste, etc. Heavy metals in soils are detected with some specific instruments like atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence and spectroscopy. Among all these instruments, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is the best because it gives the precise quantitative determination. AAS is a method applied for measuring the quantity of the trace elements present in the soil or any other samples.

Vegetables are defined as edible plant parts generally consumed raw or cooked with a main dish, in a mixed dish, as an appetizer or as a salad. Food safety aspects related to microbial quality (total plate count, yeast and mold and food borne pathogens) and toxic residue (heavy metals) and mineral content were investigated for vegetables such as green leafy vegetable, salad vegetables, sprouts, brinjal, green chilies and French beans collected from organic and conventional outlets from Mysore region, Karnataka, India. Microbial analysis was carried out using standard procedures and mminerals (Ca, K, Fe, Cu, Mg, Mn and Zn) and heavy metals (Cd and Pb) were determined. Significant variations (p>0.05) were observed for microbial quality among organic and conventional vegetables. Mineral and vitamin C content were also significantly higher (p>0.01) in organic samples. Heavy metal contamination for lead and cadmium tested positive for conventional samples while organic samples tested negative. The variables that contributed most for the variability were heavy metal contamination, mineral and vitamin C content. Organically grown vegetables were free from heavy metals and safe for consumption, as well as they are rich in mineral and vitamin C content in comparison to conventional samples. SAARC J.

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.
