Distribution and statistical analysis of major and trace elements in the bee pollen from the territory of Republic of Kosovo

Development of salt-induced homogeneous liquid–liquid extraction using a deep eutectic solvent performed in a narrow-bore tube for the extraction of Zn(ii), Cu(ii), and Cd(ii) ions from honey samples

“…17 The composition of honey can serve as an indicator of pollution in the environment or its specic origin. 18 The commonly employed techniques for analyzing heavy metal ions in honey include inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-atomic emission spectroscopy, 19 ICP-optical emission spectroscopy, [20][21][22][23] ICP-mass spectrometry, 19,21,24 ame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), [25][26][27][28] and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. 29,30 Considering the problems of trace analysis in real samples and matrix effect, a preconcentration stage plays an effective role in the analysis.…”
