“…The concentration of naturally occurring arsenic in ground water is reported to vary with climate and geology 53 . Moreover literature results indicate that there are differences among the cereals in the ability to accumulate heavy metals in grains 10 . Also intra cultivar variations are reported 21 .…”

Nineteen beer brands from the Italian market were surveyed for the presence of arsenic, cadmium and lead in January of 2007. Detection was performed by means of inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). Average arsenic content was 10.82±5.54 μg/L, while cadmium (0.16±0.15 μg/L) and lead (1.84±3.24 μg/L) were significantly lower (P<0.05). Overall, this survey indicated that beer may contribute heavy metals to the diet. Nevertheless, the dietary exposure to these contaminants is unlikely to constitute a hazard to the consumer's health due to the low level of contamination found and to the low annual per capita consumption of beer in Italy.

“…The data obtained with all the beers not subjected to the filtration process (third beer from every brewery) did not exceed the detection limit (Tables 6, 7 ,8,9;Figs. 5,6,7,8), and these results seem to confirm the previous hypothesis. Ni and Pb were not detected in any of the samples with the current experimental design (the data are not reported).…”

Herbicides, fungicides and bactericides containing\ud heavy metals used in agriculture make it possible\ud to find these toxic metals in beer (Čejka et al. in Ecol\ud Chem Eng S 18:67–74, 2011). The aim of this work was to\ud monitor the distribution of some toxic heavy metals such\ud as cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel\ud (Ni), lead (Pb) zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and arsenic (As) during\ud craft beers production (three types of beer produced in\ud four different breweries). The instrumental method adopted\ud in this investigation was inductively coupled plasma mass\ud spectrometry. The collected results demonstrated how a\ud very low (μg/L) heavy metal contamination (mainly Cr, Zn\ud and Cu) was provided by raw materials (water, malt, hops\ud and yeasts) and that these toxic metals mostly pass into the\ud residuals (spent grains, hot trub and yeasts), so only a negligible\ud fraction of them can be detected in beer. For example,\ud treating hops with a high dose of pesticides containing Cu\ud did not cause an increase in its content in final beer because\ud a large part of copper remains in hot trub. Furthermore, the\ud filtration phase caused the increase in the concentration of\ud Cd, Zn, Fe and As, probably due to the use of filtration aids.\ud These increases were insignificant healthwise [http://www.\ud edqm.eu/en/Metals-and-alloys-used-in-food-contact-materials-\ud and-articles-1st-Edition-(CouncilofEurope,2002)].\ud The craft beers produced without the final filtration did not present this increase. Pb and Ni were always found below\ud the detection limits
