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 metals 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.

Research summary
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد تراكيز بعض المعادن الثقيلة في أحبار الوشم المستوردة والمباعة في بعض المدن السورية (حمص، طرطوس، يبرود، دير عطية، النبك). تم تحليل 18 عينة من أحبار الوشم بألوان مختلفة (أسود، أخضر، أحمر، بني، أبيض، زيتي) باستخدام مطيافية الامتصاص الذري باللهب (AAS) وتقنية GFAAS لتحليل الرصاص. أظهرت النتائج أن تراكيز المعادن الثقيلة مثل الكروم، الكادميوم، الرصاص، النحاس، والنيكل في العينات كانت مرتفعة جداً وتختلف حسب مصدر الحبر ولونه، وتفوق الحدود القصوى المسموح بها وفق إرشادات وكالة حماية البيئة الأمريكية (EPA). تشير الدراسة إلى أن استخدام أحبار الوشم قد يزيد من تراكيز المعادن الثقيلة في الجسم مما قد يؤدي إلى مشاكل صحية خطيرة. توصي الدراسة بضرورة توعية الموشومين وممارسي مهنة الوشم حول مخاطر هذه الأحبار وضرورة إجراء دراسات إضافية على تراكيز المعادن الثقيلة في دماء الموشومين.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة جداً في تسليط الضوء على المخاطر الصحية المحتملة لأحبار الوشم المستوردة والمستخدمة في سوريا. ومع ذلك، يمكن توجيه بعض الانتقادات البناءة لتحسين البحث. أولاً، كان من الممكن توسيع نطاق الدراسة لتشمل مدن أخرى في سوريا للحصول على صورة أكثر شمولية. ثانياً، لم يتم التطرق بشكل كافٍ إلى تأثيرات هذه المعادن على المدى الطويل، وهو جانب مهم لفهم التأثيرات الصحية بشكل كامل. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن تضمين توصيات أكثر تحديداً حول كيفية تقليل المخاطر، مثل اقتراح بدائل آمنة لأحبار الوشم. وأخيراً، كان من الأفضل تضمين تحليل اقتصادي لتكلفة استخدام الأحبار الآمنة مقارنة بالأحبار الحالية.

The aim of this study isto determinat the concentration of (Pb, Cu, Cd, Co, Cr , NiZn, Fe) in storm water and their content of sediments during four seasons, the samples were collected in four areas along Tartous beach. After make necessary treatme nt concentrations of elements determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.The results showed a high levels of elements iron and zinc, in stormwater (138.6 μg/l - 99.7 μg/l) and sediments (17.863 μg/l – 138.735 ppm), in all samples and there were concentrations another elements difference between stations and rainfalls related to the human activities.
This study has been conducted to identify the levels of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, nickel, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc) in the following spices: Nutmeg, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nigella sativa, black pepper, cumin, coriander, curry, and mixed spices.
This study deals with the determination of the quantity of solid dust particles deposed on the leafs of some trees along Syrian coast and the concentration of some heavy metals in it (Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cd, Co, Mn) .Some sites near to human and in dustrials activities , and others near to agriculture activities , and others relatively far from pollution sources has been selected. The results showed that the quantity of solid dust particles on leafs trees and concentration of heavy metals in it such as (Pb, Ni, Cd, Co) increasing near the industrials activities and dense traffic, and decreasing in the sites that relatively far from of pollution sources. However Cypress trees attach solid quantities more than Pride of china, following Rever red gum and Blue-leafed wattle and Oleander, and the Palm tree come in the last.
This study was conducted to identify the levels of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, copper, iron, zinc) in the following processed local and imported meat: Sardine (canned full), Tuna (canned chunks), Hammour (frozen full), Euphrates Fis h (frozen full), fish produced at Qattinah Lake in Syria (frozen full) , lamb (frozen ground), beef (frozen ground), lamb sausage (frozen full), beef sausage (frozen full), sausageproduced in Netherlands (frozen stuffed), lamb liver (frozen full), broiler chicken liver (frozen full), broiler chicken (frozen full), chicken mortadella (canned), beef mortadella (canned), chicken mortadella (canned) produced in Netherlands. Heavy metal concentrations were identified in the samples of the studied meat by atomic absorption spectrometer. The concentrations taken in the wet weight measured in (ppm) were as follows: lead values range between (0.1–5.61),cadmium(0.01–2.02), mercury (0.14 –79.01), nickel (0.11 - 0.82), copper (0.24 – 6.89), iron (1.01 - 91.03), zinc (8.14 - 45.5). It was noticed that in some of the studied samples of the imported and locally-processed meat the levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, and nickel were above the levels permitted by WHO (World Health Organization) and by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization).While the concentrations of copper, iron, and zincwere belowthelevels permitted.
This study was conducted to determine some heavy minerals in different types of canned meat sold in the domestic market. Most of those cans were imported and processed in different countries and they have different brands. The chosen samples after ashing were prepared by using concentrated extra pure Nitric and Hydrochloric acids .The ratios of the minerals )pb , Cd , Ni , Zn , Cu , Mn , Fe ( were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry , and the content was expressed as (p.p.m) wet weight. It was observed that the levels of Lead, Iron, and Cadimum, in all different samples were higher than the permitted limlts according to the Syrian Standards . The Cu level in both , tuna and sardine was within the permitted limits, but it was higher in the chicken Lunchoen. The level of Zinc was within the permitted limits according to the Syrian standards. The highest ratio of Lead was observed in the sardine imported from Morocco which was 8.765 p.p.m and in the Lunchoen processed in Syria which was 5.18 p.p.m ,and both ratios are much higher than the permitted limits according to the Syrian Standards.
