Concentrations of 26 metals and elements were measured in sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) sampled from 6 Greek coastal areas in order to assess public health risks and benefits. Nutritional benefits seem to outweigh the potential risks arising from fish metal content, since various parameters (Safety Standards, Estimated Daily Intake, Maximum Safe Consumption, Hazard Quotient, Metal Pollution Index, As Carcinogenic Risk, Mercury toxicity - Selenium benefits, Nutrient Reference Values) indicated mostly safe consumption of the studied species. Weekly consumption of 480.76 g of sardine and anchovy poses minor risks (due to increased levels of essential metals like Fe and Zn in some cases) but great benefits regarding intake of essential elements like Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ca, P, Se. The traces of inorganic As detected were well below all safety limits. Hg toxicity symptoms are not likely to appear and Se benefits are not likely to be compromised.
检测了来自希腊 6 个沿海地区的沙丁鱼(Sardina pilchardus)和凤尾鱼(Engraulis encrasicolus)中的 26 种金属和元素的浓度,以评估公众健康风险和收益。营养效益似乎超过了鱼类金属含量带来的潜在风险,因为各种参数(安全标准、估计每日摄入量、最大安全消耗量、危害系数、金属污染指数、致癌风险、汞毒性-硒益处、营养参考值)表明,这些研究物种的食用是安全的。每周食用 480.76 克的沙丁鱼和凤尾鱼,风险较小(由于某些情况下必需金属如 Fe 和 Zn 的水平升高),但对摄入必需元素如 Mg、Fe、Cu、Zn、Mo、Ca、P、Se 则有很大益处。检测到的无机砷痕迹远低于所有安全限值。汞毒性症状不太可能出现,硒的益处也不太可能受到影响。
