Heavy Metal Index

Evaluation of Some Heavy Metals in Imported Chocolate and Candies Sold in Nigeria

Sample B is lollipops. Figure 2 has no numerals in the text layer, so bar heights are not read. No recovery statement was located. Abstract ranges cover all candy types and are not assigned to lollipops.

Key numbers

The results paragraph prints Sample B nickel 5.0 to 5.2 mg/g. Chromium was not detected in Sample B. A range 40.1 to 42.5 mg/g in the same sentence has no metal name and is not assigned. The unit mg/g is extreme beside the paper’s own literature comparators and is left as printed.

Methods (brief)

Pellets were measured by energy dispersive spectrometry. The lollipop numbers used here are the results paragraph, not the figure.

Evidence fitness

The nickel range supports a lollipop note. Chromium not detected is not a concentration. The unnamed 40.1 to 42.5 mg/g range is not used.

Limitations

No quality-assurance statement. Figure 2 cannot be read as numbers. The unit is mg/g as printed.
