Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the concentrations of Zn, Fe, Se, and Ni micronutrients present in some commonly consumed herbal snuffs in Sokoto, Nigeria using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The concentrations of zinc and iron metals present in brands of herbal snuff in Sokoto Nigeria reveal, the zinc concentration ranges from 0.12 ± 0.02 (recorded in DR Lambo special Sundu) to 0.33 ± 0.002 ppm (Hajiya Ayisha Snuff AK47 Blue cover), and iron ranges from 0.97 ± 0.6 (found in DR Lambo special Sundu) to 8.92 ± 0.2 ppm (AK 47). The concentrations of selenium and nickel metals in some selected snuff materials consumed in Sokoto, Nigeria reveal, the selenium concentration ranges from 0.05 ± 0.002 (Hajiya Ayisha snuff AK 47 green cover) to 0.12 ± 0.001 (revealed in Dr Lambo Herbal Powder) ppm. Nickel ranges from 0.02 ± 0.001 to 0.04 ± 0.002 ppm. All the determined elements are within safe levels when compared to World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limits and are probably safe for human consumption.

评估尼日利亚索科托市消费的一些草药鼻烟中的某些微量营养素（锌、铁、镍和硒）含量

本研究的目的是使用原子吸收光谱法评估尼日利亚索科托一些常见草药鼻烟中的锌、铁、硒和镍微量营养素的浓度。尼日利亚索科托各品牌草药鼻烟中的锌和铁金属浓度显示，锌的浓度范围为 0.12 ± 0.02（记录在 DR Lambo special Sundu 中）至 0.33 ± 0.002 ppm（Hajiya Ayisha Snuff AK47 Blue cover），铁的浓度范围为 0.97 ± 0.6（在 DR Lambo special Sundu 中发现）至 8.92 ± 0.2 ppm（AK 47）。尼日利亚索科托一些选定鼻烟材料中的硒和镍金属浓度显示，硒的浓度范围为 0.05 ± 0.002（Hajiya Ayisha 鼻烟 AK 47 绿盖）至 0.12 ± 0.001（在 Dr Lambo 草药粉中发现）ppm。镍的含量范围为 0.02 ± 0.001 至 0.04 ± 0.002 ppm。与世界卫生组织（WHO）的允许限值相比，所有测定的元素都在安全范围内，人类食用可能是安全的。
