Sažetak
The preliminary study was conducted in order to estimate possible human exposure to heavy metals through honey. In honey samples (n=37) collected in Croatia level of arsenic (As) and iron (Fe) was assessed by Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). In collected honey samples As was not detected while level of Fe ranged from below the detection limit to 30.08 μg/g. At the moment there is no specific legislation on heavy metals’ content in honey (Commission regulation, EC, No 1881/2006). According to the detected level of As and Fe in honey and recommendations of FAO/WHO can be concluded that honey do not represent threat to human health, however, level of heavy metals in honey should be controlled and regulated.
