07590 - Metals at Natural/Low Levels in Herbal Medicine
NEW PROFICIENCY TEST | Dispatch 6 August |
The herbal medicine industry is experiencing robust growth due to a confluence of factors. Plants used for these medicines can accumulate toxic heavy metals from the soil and water from the areas in which they are grown, potentially contaminating the herbal medicine and posing a health risk to consumers. Due to the rising demand for these natural remedies, we have now added the analysis of Metals in Herbal Medicines to our programme.
