Metals are being utilized of ways in industries and agriculture; particularly heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead and arsenic constitute a significant potential threat to human health because they are associated to many adverse effects on health. The consumption of fish is recommended because it is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been associated with health benefits due to its cardio-protective effects. However, the content of heavy metals discovered in some fish makes it difficult to establish clearly the role of fish consumption on a healthy diet. Therefore the present mini-review accounts for the recent evidence of the effect of these toxic metals on the human health and their possible implications in fish consumption.
金属在工业和农业中被广泛应用；特别是汞、镉、铅和砷等重金属对人类健康构成了重大潜在威胁，因为它们与许多健康影响有关。建议食用鱼类，因为它是 omega-3 脂肪酸的良好来源，由于其对心脏的保护作用，这些脂肪酸与健康益处有关。然而，一些鱼类中发现的重金属含量使得很难清楚地确定鱼类消费在健康饮食中的作用。因此，本迷你综述综述了这些有毒金属对人类健康的影响的最新证据及其在鱼类消费中的可能影响。
