Evaluation of Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic and Mercury Heavy Metal Residues in Fish, Shrimp and Lobster Samples from Persian Gulf

İran Körfezine aşırı miktarda lağım ve endüstriyel atığın salınması çeşitli ağır metallerin ve özellikle de kurşun, kadmiyum, arsenik ve cıvanın sucul canlıların kaslarında birikmesine neden olmaktadır. Mevcut çalışma, İran Körfezindeki balık (Scomberomorus commerson), karides (Fenneropenaeus indicus) ve ıstakoz (Panulirus homarus) örneklerinde kurşun, kadmiyum, arsenik ve cıva ağır metal konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Tüm örnekler Boushehr şehrindeki alışveriş merkezlerinden toplandı. Örneklerin ağırlık ve uzunlukları ölçülerek kaydedildi. Balık, karides ve ıstakoz örneklerinde kurşun, kadmiyum, arsenik ve cıva ağır metal konsantrasyonları atomik absorpsiyon spektrofotometre ile belirlendi. Ortalama uzunluk ve ağırlıklar sırasıyla balıkta 46.9±2.68 cm ve 642.237±52 g, karideste 18.88±1.67 cm ve 45.779±4.51 g ve ıstakozda 22.3±2.13 cm ve 203.098±20 g olarak kaydedildi. Balık örneklerindeki ağır metal seviyeleri kurşun için 91.67±9.21, cıva için 49.00±4.77, kadmiyum için 60.37±7.07 ve arsenik için 101.33±9.85 ?g/g olarak tespit edildi. Kurşun, cıva, kadmiyum ve arsenik konsantrasyonları karideste sırasıyla 64-93, 104-135, 18-34 ve 211-265 ?g/g ıstakozda ise 260-390, 71-130, 114-348 ve 118-318 ?g/g değerleri arasında belirlendi. ANOVA testi deniz ürünleri ve ağır metal konsantrasyonları yönünden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farlılıkların olduğunu gösterdi (P

Basra Körfezindeki Balık, Karides ve Istakoz Örneklerinde Kurşun, Kadmiyum, Arsenik ve Civa Ağır Metal Seviyelerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Severe discharge of sewage and industrial effluents into the Persian Gulf causes the deposition of various types of heavy metals and especially lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in the muscles of marine animals. The present study was carried out to evaluate the concentration of lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in the fish (Scomberomorus commerson), shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus) and lobster (Panulirus homarus) samples from Persian Gulf. All of the samples were collected from the shopping centers in the Boushehr city. Weight and length of samples were measured and recorded. Concentrations of lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in fish, shrimp and lobster samples were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Average length and weight of collected samples were 46.9±2.68 cm and 642.237±52 g for fish, 18.88±1.67 cm and 45.779±4.51 g for shrimp and 22.3±2.13 cm and 203.098±20 g for lobster. Heavy metals concentrations in fish samples were 91.67±9.21 for lead, 49.00±4.77 for mercury, 60.37±7.07 for cadmium and 101.33±9.85 ?g/g for arsenic. Lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic concentration ranges were 64-93, 104-135, 18-34 and 211-265 ?g/g in shrimp and 260-390, 71-130, 114-348 and 118-318 ?g/g in lobster, respectively. ANOVA test showed significant statistically differences (P<0.05) between the type of seafoods and concentration of heavy metals. However, the levels of toxic elements were less than allowable concentrations but consumption of the contaminated seafoods with low levels of heavy metals may be harmful for human health.
