The ready prepared 5 prescriptionsamples were obtained from Korean regional hospitals nationwide. All the sample were well powdered andpre-treated to being a solution, and then analyzed by ICP/MS. As was detected the highest concentrationof 0.55 ㎎/㎏ in Ojeoksan of Gyunggi-do, the lowest was 0.01 ㎎/㎏ of Sipjeondaebotang of Seoul C. Thehighest concentration of Co was found to be in Bojoongikgitang of Seoul B and the lowest was also detectedin Bojoongikgitang of Seoul A. Cd concentration, Ojeoksan of Chungcheong-do, Bojoongikgitang of SeoulB and yookmijihwangtang of Chungcheong-do showed the low level of 0.1 ㎎/㎏. In turn, the highest levelof Cr was 5.59 ㎎/㎏ in Ojeoksan of Gyunggi-do B. The lowest concentration of Cr was 0.04 ㎎/㎏ inSipjeondaebotang of Seoul C and the highest was 0.94 ㎎/㎏ in Samooltang of Gangwon-do. Finally, thelowest concentration of Pb was 0.00 ㎎/㎏ in Sipjeondaebotang of Chungcheong-do and the highest was0.134 ㎎/㎏ in Ojeoksan of Jeju-do.
