According to the Codex committee, the maximum allowable level for lead in fruits is 0.1 mg/kg. This survey was conducted as a surveillance program following the establishment of safety guideline for fruits in Korea. Concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) were measured in 927 samples using a ICP-MS and a mercury analyzer. The recoveries of microwave digestion method were 86.0-110.4% for Pb, 81.0-104.0% for Cd and 82.0-104.7% for As by standard addition method. The recovery of direct mercury analyzer was 106.5% for Hg. The average levels of Pb in ${mu}g/kg$ were $10.0{pm}12.8$ for apple, $8.8{pm}10.9$ for pear, $4.1{pm}4.4$ for persimmons, $14.9{pm}12.3$ for mandarin, $7.1{pm}6.5$ for orange, $3.1{pm}3.3$ for banana, $8.8{pm}8.9$ for kiwi, and $9.3{pm}9.7$ for mango. The average levels of Cd in ${mu}g/kg$ were $0.4{pm}0.3$ for apple, $2.0{pm}1.6$ for pear, $0.3{pm}0.3$ for persimmon, $0.1{pm}0.1$ for mandarin, $0.1{pm}0.1$ for orange, $1.3{pm}1.8$ for banana, $0.5{pm}0.5$ for kiwi, and $0.7{pm}0.6$ for mango. The average levels of As in ${mu}g/kg$ were $2.0{pm}2.1$ for apple, $1.2{pm}1.3$ for pear, $1.5{pm}1.2$ for persimmon, $0.8{pm}0.3$ for mandarin, $1.5{pm}0.5$ for orange, $1.8{pm}1.2$ for banana, $1.6{pm}1.5$ for kiwi, and $1.2{pm}1.5$ for mango. The average levels of Hg in ${mu}g/kg$ were $0.5{pm}0.4$ for apple, $0.3{pm}0.2$ for pear, $0.2{pm}0.1$ for persimmon, $0.2{pm}0.1$ for mandarin, $0.2{pm}0.1$ for orange, $0.2{pm}0.0$ for banana, $0.2{pm}0.2$ for kiwi, and $0.6{pm}0.2$ for mango. Based on the Korean public nutrition report 2005, these levels (or amounts) are calculated only at 0.17% for Pb, 0.013% for Cd and 0.006% for Hg of those presented in provisional tolerable weekly Intake (PTWI) which has been established by FAO/WHO. Therefore, the levels presented here are presumed to be adequately safe.
