In most cases dietary supplements especially in Libya are consumed without prescriptions and the public has very limited any awareness of their health risk. The lack of quality control on numerous brands of dietary supplements in pharmacies of Libya today may result in a serious health problem. The aim of this study is to determine the iron content using a fast and accurate method for quality control of some imported dietary supplements, based on spectrophotometric measurement of iron after complexation with 1, 10-phenanthroline in an acidic medium. Eight types of vitamin supplementary tablets were randomly collected from the Libyan market and analyzed for the iron content. The analysis showed an average value of 61mg Fe/pill for the range of 40.07-112.63 mg Fe/pill. Results showed that 75% of the samples were lower in iron content than that recorded on the dietary products. arabic 9 English 71

In this study, six residents of Zawia City who had no history record of occupational lead exposure were investigated. One sample of venous blood was collected from each. Sample preparation consisted of a simple dilution (twenty-fold) with 0.15N HNO3. The was centrifuged to separate serum, which was then isolated and analyzed for lead content by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). The residue of the sample was also analyzed by the same technique for blood level. The blood lead level in the residue was higher than that in serum lead level. Mean lead concentrations were 4.48mg/L in serum and 60.23 mg/L in residual blood respectively. Blood lead level was quietly correlated with serum lead and accounted for 95% of the variability of serum lead concentration. The bivariate regression coefficient of serum lead was 0.221 (p. 0.001). In a multivariate regression model of serum lead levels that include blood and serum lead level remained an independent predictor of lead plasma level (p. 0.007, p
