Application of ICP-MS, INAA and RNAA to the determination of some “difficult” elements in infant formulas

چکیده
In this work a determination of selected elements in the infant formulas commercially available on the Polish market was done. 14 different materials (milk-based formulas and grain porridges) were analyzed. Both, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) were applied for the determination of As, Cr, Fe and Se, which are recognized as the problematic elements for ICP-MS. For As and Se, the radiochemical NAA was also used. The daily intake of Se and Fe in the age 0-6 months for non-breast fed infants was estimated and compared with present safety limits.

Nuclear Activation Techniques for the Determination of Trace Elements in Atmospheric Aerosols, Particulates and Sludge Samples
Activation analysis is one of the major techniques for the determination of many minor and trace elements in a large variety of solid environmental and pollution samples, such as atmospheric aerosols, particulate emissions, fly ash, coal, incineration ash and sewage sludge, etc. Neutron activation analysis of total, inhalable or respirable airborne particulate matter collected on a filter or in...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in Infant formula by anodic stripping voltammetry
Determination of trace elements in food is of great importance, as some of them have nutritional significance, whilst others are toxic. Long-term exposure to low levels of toxic metals could be important, especially in relation to children. Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) is applied to simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in dry ash infant formula...

متن کاملInstrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) for steel analysis and certification
Addition of trace elements (intended or as impurities) in steel or alloys can completely change the properties of materials; thus, there is a necessity to have reliable analytical techniques to determine major and trace components in this type of material. Also, to solving problems with quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) in this subject, appropriate certified reference materials should b...
متن کاملInfluence of digestion procedures on the determination of rare earth elements in peat and plant samples by USN-ICP-MS
Analytical procedures for the determination of rare earth elements (REE) in 250 mg aliquots of difficult-todigest peat and plant matrices by ICP-MS were developed. Three different pressurised digestion approaches were tested for this purpose, namely (i) closed vessel acid digestion on a hot-plate at 180 uC, (ii) digestion in a microwave high pressure autoclave at a temperature of 240 uC and (ii...
