Seafood is a rich source of essential compounds for human health, but the consumption of aquatic products that are exposed to environmental pollutants, especially trace metals, comes with risk. Therefore, in this study, the levels of nickel, zinc, and lead in the muscle of shrimp Penaeus semisulcatus caught from the north of the Persian Gulf as a polluted environment were measured, and the health risks were assessed. The results showed that the level of Zn (300.88 ± 2.76 µg/g) in the muscle of shrimp was higher than Ni (6.82 ± 0.10) and Pb (1.10 ± 0.09 µg/g), and the amount of accumulation of all three metals is higher than the allowable limit proposed by the FAO/WHO. According to values of estimated daily intake (EDI) and target hazard quotient (THQ), the consumption of shrimp has no or minimal risk for health. However, the target cancer risk (TR) of Ni (adult, 0.00294; child, 0.00196) indicated that Ni accumulation is associated with carcinogenic risks. These findings may be helpful in the proper management of seafood quality and public health in the Persian Gulf.
海鲜是对人类健康至关重要的化合物的丰富来源，但食用暴露于环境污染物尤其是微量金属的水产品存在风险。因此，在本研究中，对从作为污染环境的波斯湾北部捕获的半滑舌对虾肌肉中的镍、锌和铅含量进行了测定，并评估了健康风险。结果表明，虾肌肉中的锌含量（300.88±2.76微克/克）高于镍（6.82±0.10）和铅（1.10±0.09微克/克），并且这三种金属的积累量均高于粮农组织/世界卫生组织建议的允许限量。根据估计每日摄入量（EDI）和目标危害商数（THQ）的值，食用虾对健康没有风险或风险极小。然而，镍的目标癌症风险（TR）（成人，0.00294；儿童，0.00196）表明镍的积累与致癌风险相关。这些发现可能有助于波斯湾海产品质量和公共卫生的合理管理。
