Method Validation for The Determination of Toxic Elements in Fizzy Fruity Mineral Water Drinks Using ICP-MS

Abstract

The presence of metallic impurities in fizzy fruity mineral water drinks can constitute health hazards to the public. In this study, the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was chosen to be validated, and applied in suitable method of analysis for determination of antimony, lead and cadmium in samples. The detection limits, quantification limits, linearity, accuracy parameters were studied under optimised ICP-MS conditions. The method trueness was confirmed by using certified references materials LGC soft drink and obtained results were had acceptable Z-score values. The results obtained make the method suitable for a precise determination of validated elements in different brands of samples at these low concentration values.  Also, the results obtained were check with permissible levels, daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ) and hazard index (HI).
