Özet
In this study; the human health risks of whiting meat and roes, which are frequently consumed inTurkey were evaluated in terms of minerals and heavy metals. The potential of human health risksaccording to consumption of whiting meats and roes were assessed by estimating of Metal PollutionIndex (MPI), Estimated Weekly Intake (EWI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Total Target HazardQuotient (TTHQ) levels of heavy metals. The Cd, Hg and Pb results found in the roes were lowerthan the acceptable limits identified by Turkish Codex. The results showed that the investigated fishmeat’s Pb levels were higher than the limit values except from in April and May. The highest Cdcontent was 0.22 mg.kg-1 in whiting meat in December while the lowest Cd content was 0.03 mg.kg-1in May. The maximum value of metal pollution indices (MPI) was determined as 0.44 for whitingmeat and 0.66 for roes in March. The THQ values of whiting meat and roes were lower than 1 forsix months. However, the TTHQ values of whiting meat in February and March were higher than 1indicating health risk for the consumer by consuming whiting meat.
