Health risk assessment of trace elements via dietary intake of ‘non-piscine protein source’ foodstuffs (meat, milk and egg) in Bangladesh

Abstract: Concentrations of six trace elements [chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As)] were assessed in 'non-piscine protein source' foodstuffs (meat, milk and eggs) to evaluate contamination level and human health risks in Bangladesh. The range of Cr, Ni, Cu, Cd, Pb and As in the investigated foodstuffs was 1.24-2.17, 1.29-2.56, 0.92-2.31, 0.12-0.44, 0.15-0.48 and 0.14-0.57 mg kg fresh weight(-1), respectively. The estimated mean levels of most of the elements were higher tha… Show more

“…Considering that the calculation was made using total arsenic it is likely that the TCR for inorganic arsenic is lower. Following on publications using 10 −6 to 10 −4 as the range for acceptable risk of developing cancer [32] , [33] , 10 −4 was accepted as the upper limit for acceptable risk of developing cancer. No TCR result for any food type analysed exceeded 10 −4 .…”

“…It has been found in recent research that Pb may alter the life course, as it has a half-life of up to 30 years in bone [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Cd is associated with liver, bone, kidney, and reproductive effects and can cause pain [ 13 , 14 ]. For Cu and Zn, they are essential trace elements in the human body, but when the intake exceeds the safety level, they may also have toxic effects.…”

“…Diversos estudios sobre la determinación de metales pesados en muestras biológicas refieren el uso de la digestión ácida y cuantificación por ICP (Ahmed et al, 2016;Lo et al, 2017;Binder et al, 2018) para estimar el riesgo ambiental cuando estos elementos superan los niveles permisibles en diferentes matrices y luego, pueden acumularse (Ahmed et al, 2015;Bosch et al, 2016;Shaheen et al, 2016).…”
