dc.description.abstractCadmium contamination occurs when cadmium enters into the body system. It is a very serious contaminant even if it is in a very little quantity. Especially children are more vulnerable to this contamination. This study aims to find out the amount of cadmium from food coloring agents. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declares the maximum permissible limit of cadmium in foods 0.001 mg/kg. We found the concentrations of some samples of this study are higher than the maximum permissible limit of cadmium declared by EPA. This is really very sensitive issue on which the world should look up. In this study, Direct Air-Acetylene Flame method was followed and the analysis was performed on 7 food color samples. 4 samples were out of limit. For this, we can say usage of this food colors in our daily life can be harmful for us and cause many toxicities even death.en_US
