“…Heavy metals are defined as having specific density higher than 5 g/cm 3 [4], but the collective term includes now cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, molybdenum, zinc. They are very harmful because of their non-biodegradable nature and their potential to accumulate in fruiting body [5][6][7][8]. For the above mentioned reasons toxicological and environmental studies have prompted interest in the determination of toxic metals in different food [9], including mushrooms.…”

Ten edible mushroom species collected from four sites of Dambovita County, Romania, were analyzed through ICP-MS technique in order to evaluate their content in Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd, both in cap and stipe. Wild growing species (Russula vesca, Russula alutacea, Macrolepiota procera, Cantharellus cibarius, Boletus edulis, Agaricus campestris and Pleurotus ostreatus) and cultivated species (Pleurotus ostreatus, Agaricus bisporus white and Agaricus bisporus brown) were taken into account. The data related to the elemental composition of the fruiting bodies of mushrooms are important to be known having in view the nutritional and food safety related aspects. Higher concentrations of copper, iron and zinc have been found in Pleurotus ostreatus (cap), Macrolepiota procera (stipe) and Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated (cap) respectively, as follows: 43.90�0.96 mg/g d.w., 715.15�4.52 mg/g d.w. and 379.33�2.05 mg/g d.w. Although significant Health Risk Index were determined for lead in Agaricus campestris (about 0.1 both in cap and stipe) and for cadmium in Pleurotus ostreatus (0.58 in cap), these values are under the regulated PTWI limits for adult person.

“…X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy with energy dispersion (ED-XRF) is a rapid and nondestructive analytical method for the simultaneous determination of a number of chemical elements in various complex matrices for interdisciplinary studies [7][8][9]. The spectrometers have been optimized to become mobile and portable instruments [10][11][12][13][14] in order to be deployed for different types of analyses in industrial sectors, pollution control and waste management [15,16].…”

This paper refers to the application of XRF method for the simultaneous determination of arsenic and selected metals from waste samples resulted from the dismanlting of distilleries in the perimeter of Azomures S.A., Mures County, Romania. The dismantling operation was carried out by a specialized Romanian company, and from this operation resulted several refractory construction wastes, such as sands with a very high content of arsenic and its chemical compounds. In order to determine the arsenic and other metals concentration, the energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) spectrometric technique was employed. Application of the ED-XRF method was performed in an accredited laboratory for the determination of toxic substances from various samples, using a Genius portable XRF (p-XRF) spectrometer manufactured by Skyray Instruments Inc.

Due to high importance of the crude oil to the modern society as a source of energy and as raw material for a wide chemical and petro chemical industries. In this study we made assessment of metals and heavy metals in some Yemeni crude, and fuel oils namely Mareb crude oil blend, Masila crude oil blend plus two samples from Sounah and Hijah oil fields in Masila basin. Fifteen metals and heavy metals were determined in above samples, but the most indicated were ( Na, K, Mg, ) and ( V, Co, Ni ) using ICP technique and atomic absorption spectroscopy . The order of concentration of metals in Yemeni crude oils were as shown in figures: Na < K < Co < Mg < V < Ni < Ca< Fe < Cd < Al< Zn < Cr < Cu < Pb < Mn. In Fuel oil: Na < Co < V < Mg < K < Ni < Ca < Fe < Al < Cd < Zn < Cr< Pb < Mn < Cu. Comparing concentrations of metals in studied sample, in general were less than in crude oil and fuel oil in many countries. That mean Yemeni crude and fuel oil are the best in quality.
