Abstract
In this study the metal (liod)s (MLs) contents of Ti, V, Co, As, Mo, Sb, Pb, Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sn, Se, Sr, Zn, and Ba, and their non-carcinogenic risks in the samples of green tea and salt in Germany were determined. Zn (3.86 ± 4.62 µg/g) and Mo (0.0005 ± 0.129 µg/g) had the highest and lowest levels in green tea samples. While Zn (2.87 ± 2.49 µg/g) and Ba (not detected) had the highest and lowest levels in salt samples. Also, the estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), and hazard index (HI) values in men was less than women.
