“…The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic CDI values were obtained using the following formula [17]: Many recent studies used the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) to peruse the potential non-carcinogenic effect of elements in the edible tissues of fish. In the present study, THQ was computed using the following equation to assess non-carcinogenic risks for trace elements in the fillet for adults [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]:…”

Introduction. Toxic metals in fish, even at low levels, have negative consequences for human health. Even essential metals pose a health threat if consumed in certain quantities. Mercury, cadmium, and lead are the most frequent metals containing in fish. The research objective was to inspect the quality of aquaculture fish found in most major grocery chains across Turkey. Study objects and methods. The present research featured the quantities of Zn, Fe, Cu, Al, Pb, Hg, and Cd in Turkish salmon. The sampling took place between February and June 2019. The cumulative carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk for consumers was evaluated based on trace element levels in a prospective health risk assessment using the U.S. EPA model of lifetime exposure. Results and discussion. Fe proved to be the most abundant element in fish fillets, followed by Zn and Cu. Other elements appeared to be far below the permissible values, namely Al ≤ 0.5, Cd ≤ 0.02, Pb, and Hg ≤ 0.05. All the trace elements detected in Turkish salmon were below the reference dose values. The percent contribution to total risk by Fe, Cu, and Zn were 34.20, 24.80, and 41.01%, respectively. The hazard index was ≤ 1. The contamination of aquaculture fish fillet proved insignificant, and the carcinogenic risk was entirely negligible. Conclusion. The research revealed no hazardous trace elements, and their cumulative effects were not indicated in the hazardous index.

“…The consumption of canned fish will vary greatly from one person to another [ 8 ]. The consumption of various canned fish products was evaluated on the basis of estimated weekly intake (EWI) using the formula [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]

where EWI is the estimated weekly intake (mg/kg bw/week), M c is the average concentration of the analyzed element (mg/kg), F IR is the average weekly consumption rate (kg/person), and B w is the consumer body weight (kg). In this study, 70 kg was nominally used as the average body weight for adults (18–25 age group).…”

Today, the distribution and consumption of canned products have become widespread due to the convenience of using processed fish products. This study aims to evaluate elements of toxicological concern and essential elements (Cd, Al, Cu, Cr, Mn, Fe, Pb, Ni, and Zn), the fatty acid composition, and the fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant pigment contents of various canned fish products purchased on the Bulgarian market. The estimated weekly intake and human health benefit–risk ratio based on metal elements and n-3 LC-PUFA contents in canned fish products were assessed. The contents of the analyzed elements in the canned samples were found to be below the limits set by various health organizations. Al was detected in only one sample. The profile of fatty acids showed that the canned fish had high PUFA/SFA ratios, EPA + DHA contents and low SFA, AI and TI values. The analyzed canned fish contained significant contents of fat-soluble vitamins. The Atlantic bonito in a jar sample was characterized by a high percentage of vitamin A (26.7% RDI) and vitamin D3 (142% RDI) per 100 g portion. The calculated EWI value shows that the consumption of canned fish products did not present any risk. The benefit–risk ratio indicates that the canned fish species are safe for human consumption, except for one sample regarding Cr.

“…The equation below shows the estimated daily intake (mg/kg/day):

\begin{equation*}EDI\; = \frac{{{C_{fish}}\;x\;IR}}{{Bwt}}\end{equation*}

where: C fish is the average level of metals in pike perch (mg/kg), IR is the daily fish consumption rate and Bwt represents the average bodyweight. It is known that daily fish consumption amounts of consumers vary according to different age groups and weights (Bat, Öztekin et al., 2022; Bat, Şahin et al., 2022; Bat, Şahin, Öztekin et al., 2022). In this study, calculations were made based on three groups, considering the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation data (UNSCEAR, 2010).…”

The current study was conducted to determine the residues of Zn, Fe, Cu, Cd, Hg, Pb, and As in the edible tissues of Sander lucioperca. Total of 20 fish individuals collected from Lake Balık, Samsun were analysed by using ICPMS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrophotometer). All metal values in the muscle of S. lucioperca were quite low. Fe is the highest concentration (4.07 mg/kg), whereas Cd had the lowest Cd (0.007 mg/kg). Therefore, it can be said that the bioaccumulation of metals in pike‐perch did not go over the acceptable limits established for these metals by national and international organisations. The hazard quotients (HQs) for individual elements and the hazard index (HI) were all <1 in S. lucioperca, showing no danger by these chemicals when consumed by infants, children, and adults. The RIs for Pb were between 1.45 × 10−7 and 4.30 × 10−7, indicating their insignificant carcinogenic risks, whereas for As these values were between 2.78 × 10−5 and 1.06 × 10−4, indicating their tolerable or acceptable carcinogenic risks.
