dc.description.abstractTrace elements (Cd, Hg, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Fe) concentrations in the muscle of Mullus barbatus (red mullet) and Merlangius merlangus (whiting) were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry from the southern Black Sea. Fe showed the highest amount in edible tissues of both fish species followed by Zn and Cu. The lowest element measured was Cd, followed by Hg and Pb. Element amounts in edible tissues were compared with national and international permissible limits and were within the permissible safety levels for human consumption. The risk assessment, related to the consumption of red mullet and whiting, was implemented, considering the concentrations of six metals, the estimated weekly intake (EWI), the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI), the target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI), and risk index (RI). The HI values for both red mullet and whiting were found to be less than one, indicating that eating these fish poses no health risk. Moreover, RI due to Pb exposure through fish consumption may also have no chance of contracting cancer in the future. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
