Heavy metals content in fresh tuna and swordfish caught from Hindian and Pacific Oceans: Health risk assessment of dietary exposure
Summary
Researchers assessed cadmium, lead, and mercury levels in yellowfin tuna and swordfish from the Pacific and Indian Oceans, finding that heavy metal concentrations were within acceptable safety limits and dietary exposure posed no significant health risk.
The average levels of three heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and Hg) in muscle samples of yellowfin tuna and swordfish caught from the Pacific and Hindian Oceans were within the acceptable range as specified by the SNI and CR No. 1881/2006. Furthermore, the EDI and THQs values indicated that fishes caught from the Pacific and Hindian Oceans were safe for consumption. This research is still limited to assessing two capture fisheries commodities. Further research is needed on the assessment of heavy metal levels in other capture fisheries commodities in this capture zone.

Bioaccumulation and potential sources of heavy metal contamination in fish species in River Ganga basin: Possible human health risks evaluation
Researchers assessed heavy metal contamination in seven commonly consumed fish species from the Ganga River basin in India, measuring zinc, lead, copper, cadmium, and chromium levels. They found that chromium, cadmium, and lead concentrations in river water exceeded safe limits at all sampling sites, with the highest metal accumulation occurring in fish liver tissue. The health risk assessment indicated potential long-term hazards for human populations consuming fish from these contaminated river segments.
