Abstract

been reported to contain high levels of mercury and arsenic respectively.
With the aid of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, in-vivo studies
. of these Chinese medicine have been carried out whether these metals have
been absorbed into the liver, brain, fats, kidney, stomach, ileum, heart
and blood of rabbits. Both acute and chronic in-vivo studies indicated
that there were traces of mercury (7-40 ppm) and arsenic (0.0001-0.0003
ppm). These amounts when compared with that of the controls were highly
insignificant (p < 0.001).
