- Abstract
The present study focused on the distribution of some major and trace elements (S (as SO42−), Na, K, B, Ca, Mg, F, Li, Al, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Cd, and Pb) in both flesh (Fl) and total cephalon/exoskeleton (C/E) tissues of selected crustacean species obtained from an Egyptian traditional seafood marketing region. The sequence of studied elements in (Fl) and (C/E) tissues in descending orders was S (as SO42−) > Na > K > B > Mg > Ca > Li > F > Al > Zn > Fe > Cu > Pb > Ni > Mn > Co > Cd, and S (as SO42−) > Na > B > K > Mg > Ca > F > Li > Al > Fe > Cu > Zn > Mn > Pb > Ni > Co > Cd, respectively. Both length-weight relationship and Fulton's condition factor showed the physical and biological statuses of the crustaceans. Ion quotient calculations of the studied tissues pointed to their importance in decreasing hypertension, preeclampsia, and heart disease. Human health risk due to the consumption of the crustacean species was determined using some guideline limits, metal pollution index (MPI), estimated daily intake (EDI), health comparison values (CVs), dietary intake (DRI-ULs), target hazard quotient (THQ), total target hazard quotient (TTHQ), and provisional tolerable weekly intake (%PTWI). MPI values of cephalon/exoskeleton tissues were greater than those of the flesh with ranges between 11.4–24.0 and 4.6–14.3, respectively. Interestingly, the calculations of TTHQ of toddler and adult were lesser than one and not expected to pose any risk concern to human from crustaceans' consumption.
