Heavy metals concentration and human health risk assessment in seven commercial fish species from Asafo Market, Ghana

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Health risk assessment and heavy metal accumulationwere evaluated in the muscles of widely consumedTrachurus trachurus, Lutjanus fulgens, Lutjanusgoreensis, Acanthocybium solandri, Pagellus bellottii,Scomber colias and Dentex congoensis fish species inAsafo, Ghana. The fish samples were prepared using a wetdigestion method and the heavy metals analysis was performedwith the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer(UNICAM 969). The results revealed that Mn, Cu, Zn,Cd, and Pb concentrations were below the permissiblevalues set by several health institutions. The health riskassessment based on non-carcinogenic and cancer factorseffect indicates no adverse health effect of fish intake. Theresults of heavy metal concentrations showed that differentvarieties of fish could be safe for human intake and theresults are anticipated to create alertness among the localpeople.
