β¦ Synopsis
The concentrations of nine elements (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, Zn) in selected food items from the four main food groups were determined simultaneously by inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectroscopy (ICAPES) after a nitric-perchloric (6: 1) acid digestion procedure. The results indicate that, while most of the analyzed mineral values compare well with previously reported values, significant dilherences between the concentrations in some food items exist. Analyzed values generally appear lower than those found in food composition tables. Current methods quantitate elements previously not reported.

## Abstract A procedure for the simultaneous determination of arsenic, selenium and mercury in foodstuffs has been developed. After a twoβstep microwaveβassisted wet digestion in closed vessels, using concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide, the solution was analysed by inductively coupled p
