Mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) were quantified in fish, cephalopods crustaceans from Italian supermarkets. Sample compliance with European dietary standards as well human health risks according to provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) the methodology of target hazard quotient (THQ) evaluated. Both element levels under legal limits, except for some fish having Hg Cd contents exceeding or equal critical values. Estimated intakes (Hg: = 0.07-1.44 µg kg(-1) bw week(-1); 0.05-0.15 0.04-0.08...
Total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg), and selenium (Se) concentrations were measured in various commercially important fish species. The benefit-risk binomial associated with these chemicals was assessed children through the probability of exceeding provisional tolerable weekly intakes (PTWIs) contaminants Se recommended dietary allowance (RDA). Se:Hg molar ratios, health benefit values (HBV
Abstract Mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) were quantified in muscle tissue of 5 species demersal fish (european conger eel, rosefish, brown ray, blackbellied angler, red mullet) commonly consumed Italy. In all studied, Hg was the most abundant element, followed by Pb Cd, which exhibited comparable levels. Cd concentrations did not differ either within individuals same or among various examined, whereas accumulation species‐specific. Significant positive correlations between length...
This study measures total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg) and selenium (Se) concentrations in elasmobranch fish from an Italian market with the aim of evaluating risk-benefit associated their consumption, using estimated weekly intake (EWI), permissible safety level (MeHgPSL), health benefit value (HBVSe) monthly consumption rate limit (CRmm) for each species. THg Se were analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry, while MeHg was determined HrGc/Ms. ranged 0.61 to 1.25 μg g-1 w.w. 0.57...
This study provides information on the potential human health risk of Hg, Cd, Pb and As exposure from consumption two fish species (Umbrina cirrosa Sciaena umbra) in general population high-level consumers. The concentrations did not show significant differences between species, no length element level-body-length relationship was observed, except for Hg. average metal(loid) levels, irrespective varied following ranges: Hg = 0.18-0.19, Cd 0.07-0.10, 0.10-0.12, 0.59-0.69 μg g-1 w.w. remained...
Total mercury concentrations were determined in different fish size classes of commercial importance such as, conger eel (Conger conger), starry ray (Raja asterias), forkbeard (Phycis blennoides), frostfish (Lepidopus caudatus), striped mullet (Mullus barbatus), red gurnard (Aspitrigla cuculus) and yellow (Trigla lucerna) order to evaluate variations consumer exposure as a function consumption spectrum sizes. The highest mean levels total detected (0.80 microg g(-1)) (0.75 g(-1)). Forkbeard...
Trace element (Hg, Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cr) occurrence was determined in the muscle tissue of swordfish collected Mediterranean Sea to assess whether intakes complied with recommended levels for essential metals permissible toxic elements. Metals were analyzed by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Shimadzu AA 7000). The methodology Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) also evaluated. ranking order metal concentration Hg > Cd while elements distribution pattern followed sequence Zn Cu Ni Cr....
Dietary intake of polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) dioxin-like biphenyls (dl-PCBs) from various foods (fish seafood, meat meat-based products, milk dairy hen eggs, olive oil fats) was investigated for sex/age groups the Italian population. The concentrations PCDD/Fs dl-PCBs their contribution to total TEQ values varied depending on food matrix. Fish (0.50 pg WHO-TEQ/g wet weight) seafood (0.16 showed highest mean plus dl-PCBs, followed by (1.70 lipid weight), based products (1.03...
