AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightFrom the point of lead and cadmium contents, the differences between villages were not found statistically significant (p>0.05).Conclusion: When the consumption of the honey produced in Şanlıurfa is considered, it can be stated that they are harmless from the point of heavy metal content.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
Abstract
Aim: To determine some heavy metal content in honey samples collected from twenty different villages around Ataturk Dam in Sanliurfa. Materials and Methods: Heavy metal content was determined from hundred natural liquid honey samples with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: Lead and Cadmium levels were determined as 0.349±0.147 (0.000-0.642) and 0.003±0.007 (0.000-0.038) ppm, respectively, Manganese was not detected in honey samples. From the point of lead and cadmium contents, the differences between villages were not found statistically significant (p>0.05).Conclusion: When the consumption of the honey produced in Şanlıurfa is considered, it can be stated that they are harmless from the point of heavy metal content.
Özet
Amaç: Şanlıurfa Atatürk Barajı çevresinde bulunan yirmi farklı köyden toplanan bal örneklerinde bazı ağır metallerin varlığını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Toplanan yüz doğal sıvı bal örneğinde, grafit fırın atomik absorbsiyon spektrometresi ile ağır metal varlığı belirlendi. Bulgular: Bal örneklerindeki sırasıyla kurşun 0.349±0.147 (0.000-0.642), kadmiyum 0.003±0.007 (0.000-0.038) ppm olarak belirlenirken, bal örneklerinde mangan belirlenemedi. Kadmiyum ve kurşun içeriği açısından köyler arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmadı (p>0.05). Öneri: Şanlıurfa’da üretilen balların tüketimi düşünüldü- ğünde, ağır metal miktarı yönünden sakıncasız olduğunu ifade edilebilir.
