Lead Accumulation

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is very popular in the daily meals of many families in Vietnam. However, lead accumulation in this type of fish has not been taken specifically. Results showed that the nile tilapia in several lakes in the Hue city contented high levels of Pb content exceeding the permitted levels issued by the Ministry of Health. Therefore, consuming them may not be safe. The BSAF bioaccumulative coefficient of Pb was low and there was a strong correlation between Pb contents in sediment and in the flesh of the fish. The risk quotient (RQ) higher than 1 indicated that consuming fish exploited from these areas may endanger users’ health.

This study was conducted to determine heavy metals and trace elements content in tilapia fish collected from three sources in Damietta governorate, Egypt and to evaluate the human health risk due to tilapia consumption. Tilapia samples were collected from two locations in the River Nile stream, tow fish farms and two sluiceways. Health risk assessment was evaluated based on the consumption habits of adult human. The results revealed that all samples vary in elements concentrations. The calculation of human health risk revealed that the consumption of tilapia in the three tested area does not pose any health risk except for Selenium. It could be concluded that consumption of such fish may be a risk for consumers who eat fish more than one time per week. Consequently, precautions should be taken and warning against eating tilapia fish caught from these regions should be announced.
