Abstract
Lead is a toxic metal that is found in both organic and inorganic forms. The maximum allowed values of lead contamination of foods are established in accordance with European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1881/2006. The aim of this paper is to follow the dynamics of lead contamination present in various products of non-animal origin. During 2017-2019, various food samples were collected and analysed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), to determine lead contamination. The samples came from different counties of the country and from Bucharest. The analysed samples (fruits, wine, vegetables, mushrooms and cereals) show a reduced contamination with lead, compared to the fruit juice samples, although no exceedances of the maximum allowed limits were identified. Following the research, evidence of lead food contamination has been identified, but the average values are within the maximum allowed limits.
铅是一种有毒金属,存在于有机和无机形态中。食品铅污染的最大允许值是根据欧盟委员会法规(EC) No 1881/2006确定的。本文的目的是跟踪各种非动物来源产品中存在的铅污染的动态。在2017-2019年期间,收集了各种食品样品并使用石墨炉原子吸收光谱法(GFAAS)进行分析,以确定铅污染。这些样本来自该国不同的县和布加勒斯特。经分析的样品(水果、葡萄酒、蔬菜、蘑菇和谷物)显示,与果汁样品相比,铅污染有所减少,但没有发现超过最大允许限量的情况。在研究之后,已经确定了铅食品污染的证据,但平均值在最大允许范围内。
