ANALYSIS OF TRACEMETALS IN MUSCLE AND LIVER OF COWMEAT PURCHASE FROM URUA IKOT OSURUA.
A RESEARCH PROJECT
ABSTRACT
The concentration of trace metals (cadmium, Lead, Iron, Copper and Zinc) in two organ (muscle and liver) from cow meat obtained from urua Ikot Osurua was determined using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Their result was as follows muscle (Cadmium: 0.78±0.002, Lead: 0.044±0.001, Iron: 0.711±0.000, Copper: 0.833±0.082, Zinc: 0.580±0.001). The obtained result declared that concentration of Cadmium in the two organs (muscle and liver).0.78± 0.002 and 0.68±0.00 respectively were higher than the FAO/WHO standard while Lead, Iron, Copper and Zinc were within the FAO/WHO standard (within the safe limit) Accumulation of trace in the muscle and liver maybe due to consumption of polluted forage and waste
