Evaluation of the Effect of Heavy Metals in Canned Drinks from Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State
Subject area: Physical Sciences and Environment · Area of research: Heavy metal and Health
Abstract
The exposure of heavy metals to human has cause serious health problems. This brings attention of many to hazardous effect of heavy metals on health. Hence it is importance to study some heavy metals in canned drinks consumed daily and the duration it takes to manifest after long time exposure to heavy metals. This research work aimed at assessment of heavy metals in selected canned drinks in wukari market for ten (10) samples of canned drinks (grand malt, life beer, exotic, canned star, guldberg, fayrous, tiger beer, zagg E, amstel malt and maltina) were collected. The concentration of heavy metals was evaluated using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer).The result revealed that concentration of lead (Pb) is the most abundant in all the samples with the range value of 0.062 to 0.432 ppm. This level exceed the safety limit of 0.01ppm by World Health Organization (WHO 2017), cadmium (Cd) ranged between 0.002 to 0.006ppm, though in some canned drinks like (exotic, star, Amstel, and maltina ) the values were above the recommended limit of 0.003ppm (WHO 2017) and chromium (Cr) ranged between 0.005 to 0.042ppm which is below the safe limit set by (WHO 2017). This implies that the sample with lead content if consumed in large amount can seriously harm children?s health and development such as brain and nervous system. In adult, chronic lead exposure causes kidney failure, hypertension etc. The general public should be enlightened on several on the adverse effect of these heavy metals in canned drink and reduce excessive use of it
