Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the residual levels of toxic heavy metals cadmium (Cd), total mercury (THg), and lead (Pb) in a total of 48 frozen shrimp samples obtained from randomly selected sales points, and thus to evaluate the potential risks to public health associated with shrimp consumption. It was determined that the Cd level in the examined shrimp samples varied between

Dondurulmuş Karides Örneklerinde Ağır Metal Miktarı ve Sağlık Risk Değerlendirmeleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada; rasgele seçilmiş satış noktalarından temin edilen toplam 48 adet dondurulmuş karides örneğinde, toksik ağır metallerden olan kadmiyum (Cd), toplam cıva (THg) ve kurşun (Pb) kalıntı düzeylerinin belirlenmesi ve böylece karides tüketimi ile ilişkili halk sağlığına yönelik potansiyel risklerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. İncelenen karides örneklerinde Cd düzeyinin
