|
|
In order to investigate the harmful trace elements in Korean common food, the contents of copper, lead, cadimium, mercury, arsenic, manganese and nzinc are studied in this paper.
Food samples collected form the agricultural fields are cereals, mandarin orange (8), persimmon (8), chestnut (8), foxtail millet (8), small red bean (8), carrot (8), sweet potato (8).
The contents of copper, lead, cadmium, mercury, manganese, and zinc are determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (Perkin-Elmer Model 403) and the contents of arsenic and determined by spectrophotometry (Perkin-Elmer UV-v is Model 139).
The results are shown in table 3.
According to the results, it could be concluded as follows;
1) The contents of the harmful trace elements (Cu, Pb, Cd, Hg, and As) in Korean foods are remarkably low compared with the foreign standards. This means that food is not remarkably contaminated with those harmful trace elements at present.
2) However, samples studied in the paper were very limited and this study should be extened to make a differences by season, geography and farm on basis of statisfical concep.
