Abstract

The concentrations of Ni, Mn, Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb and Cr, were determined in some pastas consumed in Nigeria, with a view to providing information on the dietary intakes of heavy metals and exposure of humans to toxic metals. The concentrations of these seven (7) elements were determined by atomic spectrometry after nitric acid/perchloric acid digestion. The concentrations of the metals (µg/g) in the locally manufactured pasta samples were in the following ranges: Ni (0.109 - 0.344); Mn (0.377 - 2.279); Cd (Nd to 0.011); Cu (0.115 - 0.287); Zn (0.162 - 4.846); Pb (0.315 - 0.542); Cr (0.003 - 0.178)…
