High concentration or long-term accumulation of heavy metals can be harmful to health. In this study, an analytical method with automatic ultra-high pressure microwave reaction system for sample pretreatment followed by inductively coupled plasma/tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) to detect heavy metals of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in tobacco leaves was established. Germanium (Ge), rhodium (Rh) and bismuth (Bi) were used as internal standards. The calibration curves of heavy metals were in the range of 0-25 ng/mL, and the correlation coefficients were all above 0.999. Quality control was performed using a standard reference material, and also by adding Se and Hg standards to calculate accuracy. The limits of quantification for Cr, Ni, Cd and Pb were 0.5 mg/kg, and those for As, Se and Hg were 0.05 mg/kg. A total of 40 cigarette samples were analyzed. The contents were 1.03-3.90 mg/kg for Cr, 1.23-4.43 mg/kg for Ni, N.D.-0.13 mg/kg for Se, 0.06-0.51 mg/kg for As, 0.52-4.18 mg/kg for Cd, N.D.-1.90 mg/kg for Pb, and lower than the limit of the quantification (0.05 mg/kg) for Hg. The results of this study will facilitate the establishment of a database and provide the administrative authority as reference for the hazard prevention of tobacco products. |
