Results revealed that mean lead concentrations (ppm) were ٠.٤٨٤ , ٠.٤٧٨ , ٠. ٣٥٢ and ٠.٤٢٣ ; mean cadmium concentrations (ppm) were٠٫٠٤٦ , ٠٫٠٤٩ , ٠.٠٤٥ and ٠.٠٤٧ ; while mean tin concentrations (ppm) were ١.٦٩٦ , ١. ٤٥٦, ٠٫٧٣٢ and ٠.٦٥٢ in the examined canned beef, canned beef luncheon meat, canned chicken luncheon meat and canned turkey luncheon meat, respectively. All the obtained concentrations of these residues in different examined samples of canned meat products were compared with its permissible limit. Also, the calculated daily intake of such elements for adult person from consumption of these canned meat products were compared with Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) recommended by FAO/WHO (٢٠٠٤). Public health significance of the obtained results and recommendations were discussed UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2004/MVMJ/604/0/213.pdf ER -
