ICP-OES Analysis of some Nonessential Trace Elements in Hen's Eggs

Eight trace elements (Al, V, Ni, As, Ba, Cd, Pb, and Hg) were quantitatively studies in three kinds of hen egg samples (home, street, market eggs) collected from different regions Aden city-Yemen including Al-Buraiqeh, Al-Hiswah, Khormaksar, Shaikh Othman. Samples wet digested analyzed by the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) technique. Neglecting not detected values (ND), range concentrations (in ppm units) hen’s eggs 0.407-7.414 for Al, 0.116-0.645 0.320-3.130 14.35-21.21 0.180-4.700 1.372-4.054 12.078-15.14 Pb. Since Yemen country does screen explored this foodstuff, recent work was done comparing results with other reported literature international standards. The mean some studied such as arsenic, cadmium, lead exceeded acceptable limits detailed presented specifications systematic national testing hen's production quality environment feeds should be considered to protect public health.
