Concentrations of As, Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Sn and Sb were determined by OCP-MS in tomato sauces stored in metallic, plastic, cellulosic and glass packaging. Packaging composition was determined by XRF. This study has also determined Cr and Sn content, by GF AAS, in simulant solutions prepared to be i… Show more
