Toxic Heavy Metals — Analytics and Importance to Starch Industries . In order to set limits concerning the maximal tolerable content of toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic in food and feed‐stuff, the Federal Government ist preparing laws dealing with this matter. The present phase of this legislation is being explained. The analytical problems arising in connection with the determination of toxic heavy metals in food, particularly grain products are being outlined with emphasis on measurements by atom adsorptions photometry. Finally a survey of the present state of grain contamination by heavy metals is given, with special consideration to the grain most important for the starch industry.
