Ten vinegar samples were collected from the Libyan local market in the city of Tripoli. The elements have been investigated were:As, Pb, Cu, Fe and Zn. The samples were treated and prepared according to Indian standard IS 14703-1999, and the measurements have been done by using inductively coupled plasm – atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) available in the Libyan Petroleum Institute. The analysis indicated that the concentration of Arsenic of all the samples was less than 0.02mg/kg whereas, the concentration of lead is less than 0.03mg/kg. The concentration ranges of Cu, Fe and Zn were 0.11-0.59mg/kg, 0.72-2.67mg/kg and 0.08-0.28mg/kg respectively. The concentrations of the elements AS, Pb, Cu, Fe and Zn are within the limits of a variety of standards such as Libyan, Indian and Pakistani ones. arabic 21 English 134

– Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) can play a significant role in the removal of heavy metal from contaminated solution .Aresnite ,As(III) highly toxic,mobile and predominant species in arsenic contaminated water IONPs have been synthesized, characterized and tested for the removal of As(III) from arsenic contaminated water. In this work , we synthesized IONPs using a chemical method involving dispersion of Fe3+ ions through polymer molecules of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) in aqueous medium X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of a single phase rhomobohrdral crystal structure, the size of nanoparticles was 50-100 nm. Transmission electron microscopic images corborate the result of IONPs (50-100 nm) . The adsorption of As(III),Hg(II) and Cd(II) On (IONPs) was studied using four parameters contact time, concentration, dose of IONPs and pH Adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 100 min and maximum removal of As(III) was obtained at pH (6-6.5) . The isotherm analysis indicated that the adsorption data better filted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 101.2, 73.10 and 60.05 mg g_1 for As(III), Hg(II) and Cd(II), respectively.

This study was conducted to estimate the concentration of potassium bromate (KBrO3) in 21 samples of pastries and biscuits, and the absorption of samples was measured using a (Uv-Vis spectrophotometer). The results of this research showed that the amount of potassium bromate in the samples varies according to the sample, and the highest concentration was for the sample of Major Biscuits(567.5ppm). The lowest concentration was for 44 ppm mleeha cake sample. We conclude the use of an internationally banned carcinogen and prohibited by Libyan laws, as this study revealed the presence of high concentrations of it in the tested samples.
