Özet

In this study, cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), aluminium (Al), mercury (Hg) and copper (Cu) levels determined in a total of 100 honey samples belonging to 15 different companies, by atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean values were found Cd 0.343, Pb 1.101, Fe 41.13, Zn 6.76, Al 1.490, Hg 0.618, Cu 0.06 mg/kg. These results showed that the metal levels were known to be within the acceptable limits so honey is safe for metals which are harmful for human health. This data also indicates that, honey production is made in accordance with the regulations and it's under control.
