“…Urinary cotinine concentrations, a biomarker of exposure to active and passive tobacco smoke, were measured using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (model Clarus 600T; PerkinElmer, Finland), and the data are available in KNHANES 2010–2011 (

) ( KCDC 2014 ). Dietary fish and shellfish intake, a major route for mercury exposure and omega-3 intake ( Raimann et al 2014 ), was estimated by food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) interviews available in a randomly selected subset (

). Daily fish intake was estimated as the sum of daily intake frequencies of nine fish items (mackerel, tuna, yellow corbina, pollack, anchovy, fish pastes, squid, shellfish, and pickled fish) available in the KNHANES FFQ.…”

Background:The prevalence of hearing loss increases rapidly with aging. Hearing loss is common in all age groups, even in young adults and adolescents. A growing body of evidence has suggested that heavy metals have ototoxic effects, yet few epidemiological studies have investigated the association between heavy metals and hearing loss in a general population that includes adults and adolescents.Objectives:We examined the association between environmental exposures to lead, mercury, and cadmium and the risk of hearing loss in adults and adolescents while controlling for potential confounding factors, including noise exposures and clinical factors.Methods:We analyzed cross-sectional data from 5,187 adults and 853 adolescents in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010–2012. Pure-tone average (PTA) of hearing thresholds at high frequency (3, 4, and 6kHz) were computed, and hearing loss was defined as a PTA>25 dB in adults and PTA>15 dB in adolescents.Results:In adults, the highest (vs. lowest) quartiles of blood lead and cadmium were associated with 1.70 (95% CI: 1.25, 2.31) and 1.47 (95% CI: 1.05, 2.05) odds ratios for high-frequency hearing loss (p-trend<0.001 and=0.007), respectively. In adolescents, the highest quartile (vs. lowest) of blood cadmium had an odds ratio of 3.03 (95% CI: 1.44, 6.40) for high-frequency hearing loss (p-trend=0.003), but blood lead was not associated with hearing loss. No significant association between blood mercury and hearing loss was suggested in either adults or adolescents.Conclusions:The results of the present study suggest that exposure to environmental lead and cadmium in adults and exposure to environmental cadmium in adolescents may play a role in the risk of hearing loss. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP565

“…Women of childbearing age, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children under five years of age are advised to avoid consuming fatty fishes, such as those mentioned above, due to the bioaccumulation of heavy metals such as methyl-mercury (MeHg) ( Díaz-Gómez et al, 2013 ). The ingestion of MeHg through fish and seafood is currently a public health problem due to its toxicity to the foetal neurological system and to developing infants ( Raimann et al, 2014 ).…”

“…To date, there have been more than 25 studies from different countries dealing with this topic; for example, those undertaken in Brazil (Carvalho et al In all these studies, the application of barcoding in fresh and processed products has facilitated the detection of substituted and mislabeled seafood, which has different effects on the final consumers. These include economic losses due to D r a f t potential commercial fraud (Filonzi et al 2010;Ropicki et al 2010;Huxley-Jones et al 2012;Cutarelli et al 2014;Forbes and Alexander 2015;Pappalardo and Ferrito 2015;Carvalho et al 2015b;Galal-Khallaf et al 2016;Xiong et al 2016), public health repercussions due to ingestion of contaminated food (Chang et al 2008;Todd 2011;Raimann et al 2014), trade promotion of invasive species (Pilger et al 2008), uncontrolled impacts on fish species of threatened status (Stevens et al 2000;Ardura et al 2010Ardura et al , 2011, and damage to populations due to overfishing (Tokeshi et al 2013). All of these studies have provided evidence to the necessary authorities that would enable the application of penalties against commercial establishments that have committed fraud.…”

The substitution of high-value fish species for those of lower value is common practice. Although numerous studies have addressed this issue, few have been conducted in Mexico. In this study, we sought to identify fresh fillets of fish, sharks, and rays using DNA barcodes. We analyzed material from "La Viga" in Mexico City, and other markets located on the Gulf and Caribbean coasts of Mexico. From 134 samples, we obtained sequences from 129, identified to 9 orders, 28 families, 38 genera, and 44 species. The most common species were Seriola dumerili, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, Carcharhinus falciformis, Carcharhinus brevipinna, and Hypanus americanus. Pangasianodon hypophthalmus was most commonly used as a substitute for higher-value species. The substitution rate was 18% of the total. A review of the conservation status of the specimens identified against the IUNC list enabled us to establish that some species marketed in Mexico are threatened: Makaira nigricans, Lachnolaimus maximus, Hyporthodus flavolimbatus, and Isurus oxyrinchus are classified as vulnerable; Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps and Sphyrna lewini are endangered; and the status of Hyporthodus nigritus is critical. These results will demonstrate to the Mexican authorities that DNA barcoding is a reliable tool for species identification, even when morphological identification is difficult or impossible.
