Health risk assessment and heavy metal accumulation were evaluated in the muscles of widely consumed , , , , , and fish species in Asafo, Ghana. The fish samples were prepared using a wet digestion method and the heavy metals analysis was performed with the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (UNICAM 969). The results revealed that Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb concentrations were below the permissible values set by several health institutions. The health risk assessment based on non-carcinogenic and cancer factors effect indicates no adverse health effect of fish intake. The results of heavy metal concentrations showed that different varieties of fish could be safe for human intake and the results are anticipated to create alertness among the local people.
对加纳阿萨福地区广泛食用的 、 、 、 、 、 以及 鱼类品种的肌肉进行了健康风险评估和重金属积累情况评估。鱼样采用湿式消解法制备，并用火焰原子吸收分光光度计（UNICAM 969）进行重金属分析。结果显示，锰、铜、锌、镉和铅的浓度低于多个卫生机构设定的允许值。基于非致癌和致癌因素影响的健康风险评估表明，食用这些鱼类不会对健康产生不良影响。重金属浓度结果表明，不同品种的鱼对人类食用可能是安全的，预计这些结果会引起当地居民的警觉。
