Mercury (Hg) is a fairly common environmental pollutant. Chronic exposure to this element may cause, inter alia, kidney damage, and disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system. Literature data indicate that food, including dietary supplements (DS), may sometimes be contaminated with Hg. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess Hg content in DS containing ingredients of plant origin. The study covered 200 DS available for sale in Poland. Hg content was determined by using the AAS method with the amalgamation technique using the AMA-254 analyzer. The highest average Hg content was found in preparations used as adjuncts for lowering glucose levels (23.97 ± 38.56 μg/kg). The highest percentage of PTWI (1.143%) was found in DS aimed at improving vitality. Due to the fact that DS are commonly used, their quality should be constantly monitored.
汞（Hg）是一种相当常见的环境污染物。长期接触这种元素可能会导致，除其他外，肾脏损伤以及神经系统功能紊乱。文献数据表明，包括膳食补充剂（DS）在内的食物有时可能会被汞污染。因此，本研究的目的是评估含有植物源成分的膳食补充剂中的汞含量。该研究涵盖了在波兰市场上可供销售的200种膳食补充剂。使用AMA - 254分析仪的汞齐化技术通过原子吸收光谱法（AAS）测定汞含量。在用作降低血糖水平辅助剂的制剂中发现了最高的平均汞含量（23.97±38.56μg/kg）。在旨在提高活力的膳食补充剂中发现了最高的PTWI百分比（1.143%）。由于膳食补充剂被广泛使用，因此应持续监测其质量。
