    Author: Mitić SS, Stojković MB, Pavlović AN, Tošić SB, Mitić MN.
    Journal: Food Addit Contam Part B Surveill; 2012; 5(4):241-5. PubMed ID: 24786402.
    Abstract:
    Concentrations of Fe, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, Mn, Zn and Cd in pork, beef, turkey and chicken samples were determined using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The mean concentration ranges in milligrams per 100 g of the studied metals in all samples were 0.6924-1.2154 for Fe, 0.6492-0.9831 for Cu, 0.0012-0.0027 for Pb, 0.041-0.0510 for Ni, 0.1186-0.1481 for Mn, 0.7257-5.2726 for Zn and 0.0042-0.0050 for Cd. The levels of analysed elements were in accordance with European standards for all metals except for manganese in all samples and for nickel in a certain number of samples. Zn level in beef was significantly higher compared to other samples, and Pb and Cd were found in concentrations well below the recommended daily intake.
