The muscle tissues of a total 154 sampled eels from the Asi (Orontes) River were analyzed between January and December 2018 to determine the content of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Cd and As). Determination of heavy metals in muscle tissue was carried out with an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP‐MS). To express the risk level for human consumption of heavy metal contaminated eels we used common concepts and criteria such as Hazard Index (HI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Total THQ (TTHQ). From the human health point of view, the indices HI, THQ, TTHQ values of Hg, Cd, Pb and As indicate no risks for the consumers at assumed intake levels per unit time.

来自土耳其阿西（奥龙特斯）河的欧洲鳗鱼（安圭拉鳗鱼，林奈，1758年）的重金属风险评估

在2018年1月至2018年12月之间，对来自阿西（奥隆特斯）河的总共154条鳗鱼的肌肉组织进行了分析，以确定重金属（Hg，Pb，Cd和As）的含量。肌肉组织中的重金属含量测定采用电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（ICP-MS）。为了表示人类食用重金属污染鳗鱼的风险水平，我们使用了常见的概念和标准，例如危害指数（HI），目标危害商（THQ）和总THQ（TTHQ）。从人类健康的角度来看，Hg，Cd，Pb和As的指数HI，THQ，TTHQ值表示在假定的每单位时间摄入水平下，消费者没有任何风险。
