The concentrations of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in samples of some cereals available at
local markets in Syria weredetermined, after nitric digestion, using Atomic Absorption
Spectrometry. The study showed that the heavy metals were present in all
samples at different
levels. The concentration of heavy metals varied from trace to higher concentration.
The maximum level of copper (Cu) in the cereal samples was 0.426 mg kg-1 on dry
weight basis, where the maximum level of zinc (Zn) in the cereal samples was 2.325mg mg kg-
1 on dry weight basis. The analytical results obtained for the heavy metals indicate that the
copper and zinc were present in all samples at concentration well below the acceptable
concentration recommended by the World Health Organization.
The concentrations of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) in samples of some spices
available at some local markets in Syria were determined, after nitric digestion, using
Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The study showed differences in metal concentrations
according to the edible part. Studied heavy metals were present in all samples at different
levels. The concentration of Copper (Cu) and Zinc varied from trace to higher
concentration. The maximum level of Copper (Cu) in the spices samples was 0.668 mg/kg.
The maximum level of Zinc (Zn) in the spices samples was 2.523mg/kg. The analytical
results obtained for the heavy metals indicate that the Copper and Zinc were present in all
samples at concentration well below the acceptable daily intake recommended by the
World Health Organization.
In this research, 66 samples of tomatoes were collected from vegetables
central market in Darr´aa city during the period extended between 20
October/2009 - 4 October/2010) to investigate the presence of 26 pesticide
residues which belong to differ
ent chemical classes using Gas Chromatography
instruments equipped with μECD, FPD, MSD detectors. QuEChERS extraction
method was used for residue extraction from tomato samples. The detectors
linearity and pesticide detection limits were determined for every pesticide
studied, and the recovery for all pesticides ranged from 90.6 for fenvalerate to
105.5% for propargite. Results showed that 56.1% of tomato samples contained
detectable residues and Chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin were the most detected
pesticides, while amounts of propargite, methamidofos, cypermethrin,
chlorpyrifos were the largest detected and mounted to 0.99, 0.15, 0.015, 0.012
mg/kg respectively as a median values. Residues of methamidofos in only 2
samples were above the European MRLs.,
In This Paper we will determine the solution of the congruence
and apply the results in cryptography.
