Journal Article
Evaluation of Possible Human Health Risk of Heavy Metals from the Consumption of Two Marine Fish Species Tenualosa ilisha and Dorosoma cepedianum
2019
Overview
In order to study the effects of contaminants on human health, fish is considered as a powerful model among all available species for risk-benefit assessments.
Tenualosa ilisha
and
Dorosoma cepedianum
are two fish species of great economic importance as they are found in undeveloped, developing and developed countries. Concentrations of heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) were determined using validated and accredited test methods in order to assess the potential human health risk from the dietary intake of these two selected fish species. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of all the five heavy metals was measured from the consumption of the two species considering the mean fish consumption of 61 g person

defined for European population. The EDI indicates that no risk to people’s health with respect to the EDI of Pb, Cd, Cr, As and Hg through the consumption of the two fish species. The estimation of target hazard quotient (THQ) demonstrating the non-carcinogenic risk indicates that intake of Pb, Cd, Cr and Hg through the consumption of two fish species is safe for human health, whereas, consumption of As suggests potential risk to consumers. The estimation of carcinogenic risk of Cd, Cr and As due to the consumption of two selected fish species indicates that consumers remain at risk of cancer. Thus, these fish species should not be considered safe for human consumption.
