“…In contrast to other metals, the majority of arsenic consists of the nontoxic organic form (Arsenobetaine) (Castro-González & Méndez-Armenta 2008). Thus, for calculating the risk factors of As, its inorganic toxic form was assumed to be 3 % of the total concentration (Andaloro et al, 2012;EFSA, 2009;Kosker, 2020). EWI, THQ and CR were calculated with the formulas [(CM × IR) / BW] (US EPA 2000),[(EF × ED × IR × CM) / (RfD × BW × AT)]× 10 -3 (US EPA, 2019) and [(EF × ED × IR × CM × CsF) / (BW × AT)] × 10 -3 (US EPA, 2019), respectively.…”

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.

“…Preliminarily, the prediction of human health hazards stems from the consumption of metals in foodstuffs (Traina et al 2019;Ahmed et al 2019). For this purpose, EDI is evaluated depending on the metal concentration level in foods and the daily consumption of foods at the same time (Batista et al 2012;Kosker 2020). The values of EDI were calculated using the Eq.…”

Monitoring heavy metal contaminants in fish is important for the assessment of environmental quality as well as food safety. In this study, European eel samples were collected from Lake Köyceğiz and Lake Võrtsjärv in 2017 and 2018. The concentrations of Mn, Cd, Zn, Pb, and Cu metals were measured by using GF-AAS in four selected tissues of eel, including liver, gill, skin, and muscle in both lakes. The pollution indexes (Pi, MPI) values were calculated for both lakes and the health risk for consumers was assessed for both adults and children in Turkey and Estonia. The estimated weekly intake (EWI), hazard index (HI), and lifetime cancer risk values (CRs) for the metals were calculated for both lakes. According to the results of this study, a significant difference was determined the between the metal concentrations (especially Cu, Cd and Pb) in the tissues of the eel samples taken from the two lakes. These results show that besides the pollution levels in the aquatic environment, physiological needs, and metabolic activities in different habitats have a significant effect on metal accumulation in eels. In addition, HI was found to be < 1 for both adult and child consumers in both lakes, which indicates that consumers would not experience non-carcinogenic health effects. However, the values of CR for Pb and Cd were found negligible in Lake Köyceğiz, while the CR value for Pb was found to be very close to the danger limits in Lake Võrtsjärv.
