“…La toxicidad de cada metabolito es un reflejo de su estado de valencia, que determina su reactividad, la vida media y la distribución en el cuerpo. Como resultado, cada especie arsenical puede tener diferentes efectos, dando lugar a grandes diferencias en la toxicidad (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) .…”

Arsenic is an element that is widely distributed throughout the environment. Its compounds are mainly in the state of pentavalent and trivalent oxidation; and in inorganic and organic forms. Arsenical species vary in their degree of toxicity, with inorganic compounds being more toxic than organic and trivalent compounds more toxic than pentavalent compounds. There would be interconversion between the less toxic species and other more toxic species and the cooking and processing methods could affect it. Arsenic is a carcinogenic agent and causes multiple negative effects on human health in the short and long term. Non-occupational human exposure to arsenic occurs mainly through water and food. The regulation is variable for each country and is based on WHO standards, the Codex Alimentarius, and the European Union. Many studies focus on determining the total arsenic content but do not identify arsenical species in foods. Globally, fish and seafood, chicken, meat, rice, and seaweed have high levels of arsenic. In Peru, there are few studies on total arsenic content and arsenical species in food despite the fact that we have areas with high levels of environmental contamination. The objective of this review is to discuss exposure to arsenic through food and water intake, related regulations, toxicity, consequences on human health and main foods that contribute to its intake.

“…Raw foods reflect the background contamination (Abdel-Shafy and Mansour, 2016). The contents of PAHs in the edible tissues of cephalopods have been evaluated by several authors, being squids and cuttlefish the most well characterized species (Bordajandi et al, 2004;Domingo et al, 2007;Fontcuberta et al, 2006;Gomes et al, 2013;Hwang et al, 2012;Ke et al, 2017;Martí-Cid et al, 2007, 2008Martorell et al, 2010;Moon et al, 2010;Perugini et al, 2007aPerugini et al, , 2007bRodríguez-Hernández et al, 2016;Semedo et al, 2014;Unger et al, 2008). To the best of our knowledge, limited information exists concerning the assessment of PAHs in the edible tissues of octopus; only common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) from northeast Atlantic Ocean (Semedo et al, 2014), argonauta argo from South China Sea (Ke et al, 2017), and seven-arm (Haliphron atlanticus) octopus from western Atlantic Ocean (Unger et al, 2008) were characterized.…”

So far, no information exists related with the PAH levels, PAH intake and potential health risks due to the consumption of the other commercially available octopus species.…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent pollutants that have been raising global concern due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. A total of 18 PAHs (16 USEPA priority compounds, benzo(j)fluoranthene and dibenzo(a,l)pyrene) were assessed in the edible tissues of raw octopus (Octopus vulgaris, Octopus maya, and Eledone cirrhosa) from six geographical origins available to Portuguese consumers. Inter- and intra-species comparison was statistically performed. The concentrations of total PAHs (∑PAHs) ranged between 8.59 and 12.8 μg/kg w.w. Octopus vulgaris caught in northwest Atlantic Ocean presented ΣPAHs significantly higher than those captured in Pacific Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, as well as than the other characterized species from western central and northeast Atlantic Ocean. PAHs with 2-3 rings were the predominant compounds (86-92% of ∑PAHs) but diagnostic ratios indicated the existence of pyrogenic sources in addition to petrogenic sources. Known and possible/probable carcinogenic compounds represented 11-21% of ΣPAHs. World and Portuguese per capita ingestion of ∑PAHs due to cephalopods consumption varied between 1.62-2.55 × 10 and 7.09-11.2 × 10 μg/kg body weight per day, respectively. Potential risks estimated for low and high consumers according to USEPA methodology suggested that a regular consumption of raw octopus does not pose public health risks.

“…More importantly, metals can be taken up by marine organisms, entering the food chain and be potentially transferred to the upper trophic levels, which can eventually lead to adverse effects on humans due to the consumption of contaminated seafood (Szefer, 2013). Currently, there is a very serious concern for seafood safety originating from accumulation of metals and organic pollutants (Liu et al, 2015;Hu et al, 2016;Rodríguez-Hernández et al, 2016;Tong et al, 2017) as well as from threats that just recently have been gaining proper attention such as plastics and microplastics (Oksman, 2016, EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM), 2016; Peng et al, 2017), which require deepening the understanding about contaminants bioaccumulation in food chains (Koelmans, 2015). The transfer of contaminants from abiotic environment to a specific food product is of importance regarding the quality and safety of food and has been recognised by international regulatory bodies, such as the European Commission (EC) of European Union (EU) which has set up safety maximum levels for several contaminants in certain foodstuffs including fish and seafood (EC No 1881/2006.…”

The recently developed modelling tool MERLIN-Expo was applied to support the exposure assessment of an aquatic food web to trace metals in a coastal environment. The exposure scenario, built on the data from Daliao River estuary in the Liaodong Bay (Bohai Sea, China), affected by long-term and large-scale industrial activities as well as rapid urbanization in Liao River watershed, represents an interesting case-study for ecological exposure modelling due to the availability of local data on metal concentrations in water and sediment. The bioaccumulation of selected trace metals in aquatic organisms was modelled and compared with field data from local aquatic organisms. Both model results and experimental data demonstrated that As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, out of examined metals, were accumulated most abundantly by invertebrates and less by higher trophic level species. The body parts of the sampled animals with the highest measured concentration of metals were predominantly muscles, intestine and liver and fish skin in the case of Cr. The Morris and extended Fourier Analysis (EFAST) were used to account for variability in selected parameters of the bioaccumulation model. Food assimilation efficiency and slopes and intercepts of two sub-models for calculating metal specific BCFs (BCF metal-exposure concentration) and fish weight (Weight fish-Length fish) were identified as the most influential parameters on ecological exposure to selected metals.
