Mercury, arsenic and selenium concentrations in marine fish species from the Oman Sea, Iran, and health risk assessment

Objective To determine mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and selenium (Se) in six fish species of the Oman Sea and assess the health risk of Hg and As. Methods LECO AMA 254 Advanced Mercury Analyzer according to ASTM, standard no. D 6722, was applied to analyze Hg, and ICP-MS model HP-4500 was used to meas...

Description
Summary:Objective To determine mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and selenium (Se) in six fish species of the Oman Sea and assess the health risk of Hg and As. Methods LECO AMA 254 Advanced Mercury Analyzer according to ASTM, standard no. D 6722, was applied to analyze Hg, and ICP-MS model HP-4500 was used to measure As and Se concentrations in fish samples. Results The mean concentrations of studied elements ranged from 0.12 ± 0.03 to 0.39 ± 0.11 µg g −1 wet weight (ww) for Hg, 0.74 ± 0.37 to 3.30 ± 1.39 µg g −1 ww for As and 0.621 ± 0.16 to 1.54 ± 0.48 µg g −1 ww for Se. A significant correlation ( r  = 0.65, p
