- Abstract
Exposure of consumers to heavy metals is an important issue and many researches has focused on this topic in the last decades. These metals can reach the human body through food contact materials. The aim of this study is to analyze the heavy metals content (Pb, Cd, Cr) or heavy metals migration from different food contact materials (plastic, paper, board, glass, ceramic etc.) available on the Romanian market and to establish the compliance with the imposed limit. The influence of printing inks and dyes on the metals level in food contact materials was also studied. Heavy metals analysis was performed by atomic absorption spectrometry, after wet digestion of the samples.
