Validation of an ICP-OES method for macro and trace element determination in Laminaria and Porphyra seaweeds from four different countries

Concern about metals and metalloids, especially heavy metals in seaweeds has risen due to potential health risk. This study investigated the distribution of 10 metals and metalloids in 295 dried seaweeds (brown and red) and estimated the possible health risk via hazard index (HI). Elements in seaweeds can be sequenced in descending order by mean values: Al > Mn > As > Cu > Cr > Ni > Cd > Se > Pb > Hg. The levels of Cd, Cu, Mn and Ni in red seaweeds were significantly higher than those in brown seaweeds (P < 0.01). Correlation analysis showed contents of Ni-Cr (r = 0.59, P < 0.01) in seaweeds had moderate positive correlations. Seaweeds from different geographical origins had diverse element distribution. Risk assessment showed that HI at mean level was less than the threshold of 1. It indicates that for the general people there is low health risk to these elements by the intake of seaweeds. Furthermore, in terms of the confirmative toxicity of some metals, such as Cd, Pb and Hg, surveillance of metals in seaweeds should be performed continuously.

“…Despite many advantages of this technique, one of the main problems is the high consumption of plasma-forming gas. An average consumption of argon when using a typical torch during the analysis is from 15 to 25 L min −1 (Yabuta et al 2002;Larrera-Marín et al 2010;Nunes et al 2013;Szymczycha-Madeja and Welna 2013;Santos et al 2014). In order to reduce the use of argon, different approaches can be applied: miniaturization of the torch or modification of the way of cooling the entire system (air or water) (Yabuta et al 2002;Nowak et al 2014).…”

In the present study, an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer ICPE-9820 with the mini-torch technology that significantly reduces the consumption of plasma gas to 7.0 L min respectively). The recoveries were between 88.2 and 110 %, 65.9 and 106 %, and 62.8 and 109 %, whereas the relative standard deviations (RSDs) varied between 0.04 and 4.62 %, 0.74 and 5.57 %, and 0.70 and 5.80 %, respectively, for the procedure of sample dilution, microwave digestion, and water bath digestion.
