Heavy metals in honey are of interest not only for quality control, but also for determination environmental contamination. The objective of this work was to determine distribution of the levels of selected heavy metals. Levels of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg) and nickel (Ni) in honey samples (21) in Kahramanmaraş region were determined by atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). The mean values for Cu, Cd, Mn, Fe, and Mg were 0.01, 0.32, 0.03, 0.36 and 10.45 ppm, respectively. Nickel was not detected in honey samples. Kahramanmaraş honey samples were not free of heavy metals but the levels of them were found well below the permitted levels. The results suggested that honey may be useful for assessing the presence of environmental contaminants.
蜂蜜中的重金属不仅关乎质量控制，还对测定环境污染具有重要意义。这项工作的目的是确定所选重金属的含量分布。采用原子吸收光谱仪（AAS）测定了卡赫拉曼马拉什地区21份蜂蜜样品中铜（Cu）、镉（Cd）、锰（Mn）、铁（Fe）、镁（Mg）和镍（Ni）的含量。铜、镉、锰、铁和镁的平均值分别为0.01、0.32、0.03、0.36和10.45 ppm。蜂蜜样品中未检测到镍。卡赫拉曼马拉什蜂蜜样品并非不含重金属，但其含量远低于允许水平。结果表明，蜂蜜可能有助于评估环境污染物的存在情况。
