“…The recovery for mercury was between 89-113%. Good recoveries of spiked samples demonstrate the accuracy of the methods used (Ertas & Tezel, 2004). Detection limit, defined as the mercury concentration corresponding to three times the standard deviation of ten reagent blanks (Ertas & Tezel, 2004) was 0.13 ng g À1 .…”

a b s t r a c tTwelve species of common marine fish consumed by Malaysians were collected from local wholesale market in Malaysia; the mercury concentrations in muscle and liver samples were determined by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mercury concentration in the samples, expressed in lg g À1 dry weight. It was 0.45 for short-bodied mackerel, 0.04 for scad, 0.04 for narrow-bodied Spanish mackerel, 0.13 for black pomfret, 0.50 for long tail tuna, 0.03 for greasy grouper, 0.09 for chacunda gizzard shad, 0.06 for yellow-banded scad, 0.05 for eastern little tuna, 0.09 for delagoa treadfish bream, 0.10 for giant perch and 0.00 for sardine's muscle tissue. Among the fishes analyzed, long tail tuna had the highest level followed by short-bodied mackerel. Significantly lower levels (P < 0.05) of mercury were found in liver tissues. Total mercury concentration in liver tissues were as follow; 0.03 for short-bodied mackerel, 0.02 for scad, 0.05 for narrow-bodied Spanish mackerel, 0.10 for black pomfret, 0.49 for long tail tuna, 0.03 for greasy grouper, 0.03 for chacunda gizzard shad, 0.04 for yellow-banded scad, 0.02 for eastern little tuna, 0.09 for delagoa treadfish bream, 0.01 for giant perch and 0.01 for sardine. This study indicates that commonly consumed fish from Malaysia have concentrations of mercury below the permissible levels stated in the US FDA guidelines.

“…Precision of the analytical method for analysis Cd and Pb (AAS-flame) and Hg (using mercury analyzer) was checked in order to show the reproducibility of responses. This parameter takes into account only the error coming from the operating system and not the error attributable to sample handling and preparation (Ertasa and Tezel, 2005).…”

“…To ensure the accuracy of the analytical method, the recovery studies were carried out by adding a known quantity of Cd, Pb and Hg into samples by the proposed method. To check the accuracy of analytical method, the recovery studies were performed in order to confirm the losses of Cd, Pb and Hg or contamination during sample preparation and matrix interferences during the measurement step (Ertasa and Tezel, 2005). According to ICH (1994) for the determination of the recoveries, the spiking technique was used, i.e., the known concentration of standard solutions of Cd, Pb and Hg were added to Capsicum annum L. and the resulting spiked samples were measured, calculated and compared to the known values of standard solutions of Cd, Pb and Hg added.…”

“…1,2,3 This kind of information can be obtained through the analysis of blood, as blood is the medium for the transport of essential and toxic trace elements. 1 The elemental determination in blood samples has been carried out through techniques such as atomic absorption spectrometry, 4,5,6,7,8 total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF), 5,9 or hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS) 10 . However, due to the increasing demand in the number of elements to be determined in blood, alternative analytical methods are needed.…”
