Heavy metal analysis of selected soft drinks in Nigeria

Heavy metal analysis of selected soft drinks in Nigeria

~ B792fb50225ea776017fbc7b79db2fc4.200x200
There have been reports of the presence of heavy metals at a concentration above the limit specified by the World Health Organization (WHO) for food and drink products in Nigeria. This work was designed to compare the levels of zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, iron and arsenic in selected Nigerian soft drinks with the specified recommended limits by the World Health Organization. These heavy metals...
