This study aimed to determine the total arsenic concentration in lipsticks and evaluate the potential health risks due to daily ingestion of this toxic element from this product. The samples were analyzed using atomic fluorescence spectrometry technique after mineralization and hydride generation (HG-AFS). The calibration curve is linear over a concentration range from 0.125 to 2 µg L-1 with a regression coefficient of the order of 0.9899. The limit of detection is reaches 3 ng g-1. The standard deviation is of the order of 4%.The accuracy of this method was evaluated by calculating the recoveries of additions of arsenic to three lipstick samples. These results indicate recovery rates between 91% and 98%. Finely, the results found demonstrate that the method used in this work is suitable for arsenic detection in lipsticks samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
