Abstract
|
|
|
The heavy metal (arsenic, chrome, and nickel) contents in dried marine products sold in marketwere investigated using ICP-MS to assess the associated health risk. Chrome and nickel were not detected at significantlevels. However, arsenic was detected in all (21 specimens) dried crustacean products, including 10 (50%) among20 dried mollusk specimens, 15 (13.9%) among 108 dried fish products, and 6 (17.1%) among 35 specimens of driedseaweed, which exceeded the set level for some dried agricultural products and medicinal herbs used in traditionalmedicine. Regulatory levels for heavy metal contents in marine products are not currently available. Thus, it is necessaryto establish proper regulation and consistent monitoring of heavy metal contamination in marine products.
Although the contamination levels of the investigated heavy metals do not seem harmful in terms of the statisticalpercentage of provisional tolerable weekly intake (%PTWI), consistent investigation of the health risk due to contaminationof dried marine products by heavy metals is required.
