Abstract

Among the pollutants in AQUATIC ecosystems, HEAVY METALS are considered dangerous pollutants due to their toxic effects and bioaccumulation in organisms. They can cause chronic and acute poisoning when consumed by human. MERCURY is one of the most toxic metals, which can accumulate in a food chain and in the most top of it, the human body. In this study concentrations of MERCURY were measured in four species of AQUATIC organisms, black pomfret, white Indian prawn, white leg shrimp and crayfish and the consumption RISK ASSESSMENT for each of these seafood species were assessed. Samples were obtained from Tehran market and the muscles of species were dissected and wet digested. The concentrations of MERCURY in solutions were determined using cold vapor technique and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The average concentrations of MERCURY in muscle of the species were 0.331, 0.323, 0.346 and 0.113 mg g-1 wet weight, respectively. These concentrations were within standard levels determined by the international organizations such as WHO, FAO, EPA, FDA, EC and MAFF. HQ index was below 1 for all species. Therefore, the consumption of these seafood species is not a serious threat to the consumer’s health in terms of MERCURY concentration.
