The goal of the study was to check for heavy metals in honey samples. The researchers used a method called Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy to analyze the levels of metals like Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Cadmium, Lead, and Chromium in the honey. They found that the levels of these metals were within safe limits set by the World Health Organization. This means that the honey samples tested are safe for people to eat.
