Elemental Concentrations and Risk Assessment of Heavy and Toxic Metals in Some Instant Foods Hla Win Aung Tin Htun Naing Khin Maung Htwe Energy Dispersive X-rays Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique was used to analyze the elemental concentrations of some heavy and toxic metals in some instant food samples. For all measured samples, the mean concentrations of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and As are within their respective safe limit except Cd and Hg. It was found that the mercury concentration in instant noodles samples is significantly the highest among the instant food samples. No risk was found for the elements of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and As. But, the elements, Cd and Hg, were found to cause the risk to the consumers by consuming the instant foods. 2019 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000376 https://meral.edu.mm/records/376
