Pangasius hypophthalmus (panga fish) is farmed in the Mekong River (Vietnam), which known as a polluted river, and exported to many countries. The present study aimed determine heavy metal levels frozen panga fillets imported from Vietnam well risks of metals human health. Panga belonging four brands were bought three supermarkets Adana city, Turkey, (As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Ni, Cu, Mn Co) analyzed. To...

The occurrence of Hg, Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb, and Zn in green mussels ( Perna viridis Linnaeus, 1758) collected along the East Java Coast (EJC), Indonesia, is reported this study. Cu>Zn>Pb>Cr>Cd>Hg was sequence metal concentrations mussel whole tissues. Green tissues at several locations EJC accumulated Cd Pb levels that exceed recommended level for consumer provisional weekly tolerable intake (PTWI). ...

Fish are an important food and economic source in the Amazon region. However, several researches report high levels of mercury, mainly methylmercury (MeHg), these animals. MeHg is capable biomagnifying ecosystem negatively affect human health. region recognized for its great diversity fish species daily consumption fish, extremely vulnerable to toxic effects MeHg. Therefore, this study aimed ca...

Although there are great changes of dietary in the past few decades in China, few are known about the aluminium exposure in Chinese diet. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate the dietary aluminium intake level in residents of Shenzhen, China. A total of 853 persons from 244 household were investigated their diet by three days food records. Finally, 149 kinds of foods in 17 food g...

In this study, the mercury level in 25 commonly consumed seafood species was identified and used to evaluate the mercury intake for Taiwan population. Total mercury concentrations were determined by using furnace-gold amalgation mercury analyzer. The results indicated that mercury concentrations of the 25 seafood species ranged from 0.002 to 0.198 mg/kg wet wt. and varied significantly across s...

Dietary aluminum (Al) intake by young children, children, youths, and adults in Japan was estimated using the market basket method. The Al content of food category (I-VII) samples for each age group was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The Al content in processed foods and unprocessed foods ranged from 0.40 to 21.7 mg/kg and from 0.32 to 0.54 mg/k...

Cadmium is a cumulative nephrotoxicant that is absorbed into the body from dietary sources and cigarette smoking. The levels of Cd in organs such as liver and kidney cortex increase with age because of the lack of an active biochemical process for its elimination coupled with renal reabsorption. Recent research has provided evidence linking Cd-related kidney dysfunction and decreases in bone mi...

OBJECTIVE To estimate mercury intake due to fish consumption among the individuals from Gipuzkoa participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC), and to validate the estimation of mercury exposure through diet, by measuring blood mercury level. DESIGN AND SETTING The population for the EPIC Gipuzkoa cohort was recruited from 1992 to 1995. Each individual's diet was ...

Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) are toxic metals with increasing interest due to their tendency to bioaccumulate in fish tissue which may pose a threat to human health via fish consumption. This review of the recent literature on Cd, Pb, Hg levels summarizes data of fish biomonitoring studies in the Mediterranean Sea in order to determine potential risks due to dietary intake of metals...
