  • 1. National Inst. of Radiological Sciences, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

Concentrations of trace elements in several foodstuffs collected in Ibaraki-Prefecture, Japan, have been analyzed by neutron activation analysis (NAA), inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and anodic striping voltametry, (ASV). The elements analyzed were as follows: Zn, Se, As, Hg, Cs, Cr, Co, Fe, Rb, Br and K by NAA; Mn, Ba, Sr, Mg, Ca, P, K, Zn, Cu and Fe by ICP-AES; and Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn by ASV. Dietary intake of As, Ca, Cd, Cu, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, P, Pb, Se and Zn by Japanese were estimated by using these analytical results and published food consumption data in Japan. (author). 6 refs, 4 tabs
