The risk assessment of mercury poisoning after consuming teas and cereal products
Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of the study was the determination of the level of concentration of total mercury in various cereal products and teas commonly available to the consumer. In the course of the research, 161 samples of products were analysed, among which only one sample – a single-component fruit tea - contained mercury at the concentration of 0.03100 mg/kg. All other samples of food products were characterised by mercury levels that, according to the current state of knowledge, do not pose a threat to human health.
