Heavy metal exposure has raised grave health concerns globally in recent decades. The objective of the present research was to examine the contents of heavy metals, including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), and zinc (Zn) in canned fish, canned chick peas, and canned green peas collected from Tehran, Iran, utilizing inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Moreover, the health risks of heavy metal exposure through canned sample ingestion were evaluated utilizing Monte-Carlo simulation. The heavy metals in samples were detected in the range of 0.01 - 0.2 mg/kg for As, < LOD - 0.05 mg/kg for Cd, 0.9 - 11.8 mg/kg for Cu, 3 - 12.17 mg/kg for Fe, < LOD - 0.11 mg/kg for Hg, 0.01 - 0.9 mg/kg for Pb, 0.02 - 4.08 mg/kg for Sn, and 2.9 - 7.75 mg/kg for Zn. The mean concentration of metals in samples was within standard limits. THQ and HI values were below 1 and CR values were below 10, which were acceptable. These findings suggest that the concentrations of heavy metals in canned fish, chickpeas, and green peas do not pose a health risk to Iranian consumers.
近几十年来，重金属暴露在全球范围内引发了严重的健康担忧。本研究的目的是利用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法（ICP-OES）检测从伊朗德黑兰采集的罐装鱼、罐装鹰嘴豆和罐装青豆中的重金属含量，包括砷（As）、镉（Cd）、铜（Cu）、铁（Fe）、汞（Hg）、铅（Pb）、锡（Sn）和锌（Zn）。此外，利用蒙特卡洛模拟评估了通过食用罐装样品而暴露于重金属的健康风险。样品中的重金属检测结果如下：砷含量在0.01 - 0.2毫克/千克范围内，镉含量低于检测限至0.05毫克/千克，铜含量在0.9 - 11.8毫克/千克之间，铁含量在3 - 12.17毫克/千克之间，汞含量低于检测限至0.11毫克/千克，铅含量在0.01 - 0.9毫克/千克之间，锡含量在0.02 - 4.08毫克/千克之间，锌含量在2.9 - 7.75毫克/千克之间。样品中金属的平均浓度在标准限值内。危害商数（THQ）和危害指数（HI）值低于1，致癌风险（CR）值低于10，这些都是可以接受的。这些发现表明，罐装鱼、鹰嘴豆和青豆中的重金属浓度对伊朗消费者不构成健康风险。
