This study estimated the levels of lead and cadmium in 12 chocolate and cocoa samples from latakia markets by atomic absorption spectrometry . Most of the samples, were well known Syrian trademarks. The results showed that concentration of lead in samples of dark chocolate ranged between 0.061 and 0.49 mg\ kg ,and in samples of cocoa between 0,10 and 0,51 mg\ kg, but it was much less 0.01 - 0. 16 mg\ kg in white chocolate and Imported chocolates. concentration of cadmium in samples of dark chocolate ranged between 0.01 and 0.24 mg\ kg and in samples of cocoa between 0.03 and 0.231 mg\ kg. but it was also less in white chocolate and imported chocolates 0.01 - 0.051 mg\ kg. The results indicated that dark chocolates have higher concentrations of lead and cadmium than white chocolates and that the levels of lead and cadmium are generally higher than the common levels in developed countries ,and thus. might be a significant source of lead and cadmium ingestion, Raw materials should be checked before use for metal contents in order to decrease the concentrations of these metals in final chocolate products..

The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in the meat, liver and kidney of sheep exposed in the local markets of the city of Latakia, and to compare the results with those reported by other countries and with the maximum acceptable levels for human consumption, Lead and cadmium were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The mean concentrations of lead in meat, liver and kidney were 0.043, 0.284 and 0.118 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively, while mean concentrations of cadmium were 0.017, 0.173 and 0.252 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in lead and cadmium concentrations between liver and kidney and in meat.
In this study, the concentration of Pb and Cd was determined in some agricultural products in order to compare this concentration and to know the capacity of these products to accumulate these two elements. The samples were digested by nitric acid and the elements were determined by the atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the concentration of lead and cadmium in protected products was less than the concentration in unprotected products, and the concentration of lead was more than the cadmium, these results can be explained by the extensive use of lead and the unprotected agriculture products were exposed to the air pollution more than the protected products.
Carried out a laboratory experiment in order kinetics study of adsorption of cadmium and lead in the soil, using soil columns experiment, with the use of concentration 26.25 mg / l for cadmium, and 27.81 mg / l for lead, and two degrees of pH 5.5, 0.7, with the use of five parameters.
Ninety-nine randomized samples of milk and white cheeses were collected from five districts in Damascus city during 2012-2013 to determinef Aflatoxin M1 using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The procedure for determination of Aflato xin M1 was changed according to local circumnutates which gave sensitive and accurate results during 5.9 minute with r= 0.99. The average recovery was 83.88% for milk and 102.15% for cheeses samples, respectively.
The aim of the study is to determine the concentration of some heavy metals in some imported tattoo inks (black and colored). Sold in Homs, Tartous, Ybroud and DeirAtieh, and assess whether tattoo inks comply with maximum concentrations of heavy m etals in the EPA’s guid line -2012 and find out the relation of colours by Ni, Cu, Pb, Cd and Cr contents. 18 Samples of tattoo inks purchased from different sources. 5 Samples black, 4 samples green, 5 samples red, 2 samples brown,1 sample white and 1 sample oily. This samples reveals that the concentration of heavy metals previously mentioned very high and varies depending on the source of the tattoo ink. These concentrations above the maximum limits according to the EPA’s-2012 quid line. This study reveals also that the type of pigment used in tattoo inks contributes to its heavy metal content. The use of tattoo inks could result increase in the heavy metal level in human body which could lead to health problems.
