“…The analysis of minerals is mostly carried out by radioactivation analysis (Sevlimi et al, 1992), while ICP-MS (inductively coupledplasma mass-spectrometry) is the most recent analytical method (Caroli et al, 1999).…”

“…Scientific papers using bees and their products, including analysis of chemical elements in order to monitor environmental pollution have been developed in several countries. Since 1970, honey has been proposed as an environmental indicator for pollution evaluation in areas where hives are installed 6 . Brazil occupies an important position among honey producing countries, since it has a flora that is well suited for apiculture.…”

Recebido em 28/6/06; aceito em 30/8/06; publicado na web em 27/4/07Honey is a food used since the most remote times, appreciated for its characteristic flavor, considerable nutritional value and medicinal properties; however, little information exists about the presence of chemical elements in it. The objectives of this work were to determine the chemical elements present in 38 honey samples, collected directly from beekeepers from the State of Piauí, Brazil and to verify whether they presented any contamination. The chemical elements were determined by means of Total Reflection Xray Fluorescence. The means of three replicates were:

“…Hence, in many research areas, other CRM like apple leaves (SRM 1515) [3,[8][9][10][11][12], brown bread (BCR 191) [7], or corn (NBS 8413) [4,5] are commonly applied. Due to the lack of matching CRM, other procedures are used, for instance various preparations of samples [3,8] or applying different experimental techniques [13,14]. For the same purpose, in quality control, recovery rates are measured using spiked samples [3,8,9,[15][16][17].…”

A method for simultaneous ICP-MS determination of 13 elements in three types of honey from Poland is described. The method was validated, and the uncertainty budget was set up. The results obtained for the relative expanded uncertainties U rel (k = 2) were 15.1% for Al, 18.6% for B, 18.8% for Ba, 7.9% for Ca, 24.4% for Cd, 7.24% for Cu, 7.9% for K, 4.8% for Mg, 8.3% for Mn, 12.7% for Na, 14.9% for Ni, 12.5% for Pb and 13.4% for Zn. Traceability of the measurement results was established based on the use of the corn flour CRM INCT-CF-3 and the apple leaves CRM SRM 1515 and by analyzing spiked samples. Recovery rates between 94% (Zn) and 107% (Na) were found. The detection limits of all elements studied showed the suitability of the procedure for routine analyses. Summarizing it can be concluded that the described analytical procedures to measure the mass fractions of 13 elements in honey samples with established traceability and evaluated uncertainty allow to obtain reliable and internationally comparable results.
