“…In fact, few researchers sought to examine and assess the bioaccumulation of toxic elements, such as arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb), in these aquatic animals (Fernández-Trujillo et al, 2021;Ramon et al, 2021;Solgi and Mirmohammadvali, 2021;Yang et al, 2021). In general, the bioconcentration of toxic elements in aquatic animals is associated with the environment and food chain (Köker et al, 2021). Previously, fish was reported to absorb toxic elements by ingesting particulate matter suspended in the water (Varol et al, 2017).…”

Crayfish, carp, and crab threaten the consumer’s health due to the enrichment of the toxic elements. The concentration of the toxic elements (As, Cr, Cd, and Pb) in these aquatics was less investigated simultaneously in situ. In this study, the toxic elements in these aquatics from the same site of Hanchuan, Hubei Province, China were measured by ICP-MS to assess the enrichment of the four toxic elements in them and the health risk to the consumer. The results showed that the concentrations of these elements in muscle were lower than those in hepatopancreas/ liver, except for Cr in crayfish. Furthermore, the concentrations of Cd in the hepatopancreas of crayfish and crab exceeded the standards of China and the European Union. Accordingly, the hepatopancreas of crayfish and crab are not recommended for consumption. The estimated daily intake of these elements in the muscle of crayfish, carp, and crab did not exceed the provisional tolerable daily intakes, the corresponding target hazard quotient (THQ), and the cancer risk (CR) values for As were lower than 1 and 1 × 10–6, respectively. However, the accumulated consumption of the muscle of the three freshwater catches could result in a significant increase in the total THQ value. The total ingestion of the muscle of these catches should be limited. Collectively, these findings may renew interest in food safety and the health risk to humans owing to the consumption of freshwater catches.

“…Cadmium is implicated in carcinogenic diseases (Rakib et al, 2021). Permissible amounts of cadmium in fish are 0.05, 1.4 and 0.5 mg/kg according to Turkish Fisheries Laws and Regulations (TKB) (Köker et al, 2021), EPA (EPA, 1989) and WHO (WHO, 1989), respectively. In the present study, the cadmium levels of the groups were found to be close to each other, and moreover, their levels were found tobe quite low and below the indicated limits (Table 1).…”

Pangasius hypophthalmus (panga fish) is farmed in the Mekong River (Vietnam), which is known as a polluted river, and exported to many countries. The present study aimed to determine heavy metal levels in frozen panga fillets imported from Vietnam as well as the risks of heavy metals to human health. Panga fillets belonging to four brands were bought from three supermarkets in Adana city, Turkey, and heavy metals (As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Ni, Cu, Mn and Co) were analyzed. To analyze the potential risks to human health, EWI (estimated weekly intake), THQ (target hazard quotient), and CR (lifetime cancer risk) values were calculated to assess the potential risks to consumer health of the metal content in panga fillets. The health risk assessment values were calculated for children and adults according to the frequency of consumption once, three and seven times a week. The results revealed that the presence of heavy metals in the studied panga fillets was below permissible limits indicated by WHO (World Health Organization), EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and TKB (Turkish Fisheries Laws and Regulations). The EWI, THQ or ∑ THQ and CR values were below PTWI (provisional tolerable weekly intake), 1 and 10-5, respectively. Remarkably, the highest values of the EWI/PTWI ratio and THQs were found for children.

“…However, certain metals (such as Cd, Pb, Hg) have no known nutritional or beneficial effects on human health (Varol et al, 2017). Trace metals in fish can be transferred to human tissues, thereby posing potential health risks, particularly in sensitive populations (e.g., pregnant and nursing women, infants, and children) and coastal residents who consume large amounts of seafood (Liu et al, 2018;Hao et al, 2019;Koker et al, 2020). Diet is one of the important ways of human exposure to pollutants.…”

Trends and Health Risk of Trace Metals in Fishes in Liaodong Bay, China, From 2015 to 2020

Due to their toxicity, non-biodegradability, and biological amplification in the food chain, heavy metal accumulation in humans via the consumption of fishes has become a problem. In this study, we analyzed the concentrations of six trace metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in 12 marine fish species collected from Liaodong Bay, China, from 2015 to 2020, to understand the pollution status of the bay and evaluate the impact of fish consumption on human health. In addition, 5 fish species with the potential to serve as bioindicators of metal contamination were identified. In general, the average concentrations were Zn > Pb ≈ Cr > Ni ≈ Cu > Cd. There were significant differences in the concentrations in the muscle tissues of fish with different feeding strategies. The total target hazard quotient values of some fish were greater than 1 in 2015, suggesting that people were susceptible to high health risks. The year 2017 had the lowest values, which suggests that metal pollution in Liaodong Bay may have been decreasing at that time. Monitoring of metal concentrations in marine fish from Liaodong Bay warrants more study.
