On the other hand, consumption of honey cannot raise any concern about its wholesomeness, safety and quality in reference to the content of trace elements (Uren et al. 1998; Tuzen 2002; Osman et al. 2007; Pohl 2009; Pohl and Sergiel 2010; Pohl et al. 2012a).
Therefore, elemental analysis of honey samples has become an important part of its quality assurance and control.
It can also be an instructive feedback to beekeepers whose may improve their honey processing practices.
Taking into account a bioindication role of honey in the region from which it comes, the determination of trace elements in this food product can also bring valuable information to environmental researchers on the pollution of a given area (Achudume and Nwafor 2010).
