Abstract EN
This study was done to determine the degree of metals and heavy metals in some bee pollen sample as biological indicator for environmental pollution.
Sample were collected from industrial, urban and agricultural areas of Jordan in year 2017.
Eight metals (As, Cd, Cu, Mg, Pb, Ni, Se, and Zn) continents analyzed by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrum, (ICP-OES).
Results were statistically interpreted by using ANOVA analysis.
Metals content in bee pollen from Jordan and China were determined within the following ranges (minimum–maximum mg/kg); Cu (copper): 11.338–0.032, Zn (Zinc): 77.022–25.24, Ni (Nickel): 2.839 to <0.01, Se (Selenium): 3.03 to <0.04, Mg (Magnesium): 1575.19–641.388, Pb (Lead): 2.567 to <0.03, Cd (Cadmium): <0.005, As (Arsenic): <0.02.
The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences among metals in the bee pollen.
It has also found that bee pollen produced in Jordan may be a good source of some trace elements like Se and Mg and can be used as an environmental indicator and for quality control.
