Seafood can be a source of contaminants, which may raise health concerns. The aim of this study was to analyse the levels of inorganic contaminants in commercially available seafood products and assess consumer exposure. Commercially available samples were collected from 2015-2018 and analysed as composite samples for mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium, using accredited methods. Levels of cadmium, lead, and arsenic were low and human exposure of these metals would be minimal from consumption of the analysed seafood products. Mercury levels were well below the EU maximum limit for mercury in fish. However, children, who are high consumers, might be at risk of exceeding the tolerable weekly intake for methyl mercury, when eating products with the highest mercury levels. The collected data can be used for future risk-benefit assessments as intake of processed seafood products represent a large proportion of the populations' seafood intake in Europe.

挪威海产品中的汞，铅，砷和镉与消费者的接触。

海鲜可能是污染物的来源，可能引起健康问题。这项研究的目的是分析市售海产品中无机污染物的水平，并评估消费者的接触程度。从2015年至2018年收集了市售样品，并使用认可的方法对汞，铅，砷和镉的复合样品进行了分析。镉，铅和砷的含量很低，而从被分析的海产品消费中，人体对这些金属的暴露将降至最低。汞含量远低于欧盟对鱼类中汞的最大限量。但是，作为高消费量的儿童，在食用汞含量最高的产品时，可能有可能超过每周可耐受的甲基汞摄入量。
