Beeswax, honey, and live in-hive worker bees were collected in this study from eight districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The concentration of seven essential elements (copper, calcium, zinc, iron, nickel, chromium and manganese) and two non-essentials (lead and cadmium) were determined. All of the samples were found to have a random distribution of metal concentrations. The plentiful metals with high concentrations in the gathered samples were discovered to be calcium, iron, and zinc. The health concerns related with metal intake in honey were assessed using the Average Daily Dose (ADD), Hazard Quotients (HQs) and Hazard Index (HI) models. Children were found to have higher estimated health risk values for the components assessed in all samples than adults. All of the computed ADD values were lower than the matching reference (RfD) values. The matching HI values of metals in various honeys were found to be less than one, implying that honey consumption in the studied area has no non carcinogenic risk. Cancer risks (CR) was also calculated for intake of Pb, Cr, Ni and Cd in honey in the selected districts. The CR values for Cr and Cd exceeded 1E-4 in various districts such as Karak, Kohat, Nowshera, Bajur, Dir Upper, and Mohmand Agency, signifying that there was a small danger involved. In the case of Karak, the Ni CR value was greater than the allowed limits. As a result, it is important to keep an eye on the concentration of these metals in honey because anthropogenic input could raise their concentration in the future, posing a health danger.

蜂蜜、蜂蜡和蜜蜂中的金属含量以及食用蜂蜜导致的人类健康风险评估:来自巴基斯坦开伯尔普赫图赫瓦省选定地区的案例研究

本研究从巴基斯坦开伯尔普赫图赫瓦省的八个地区收集蜂蜡、蜂蜜和活在蜂巢内的工蜂。测定了七种必需元素(铜、钙、锌、铁、镍、铬和锰)和两种非必需元素(铅和镉)的浓度。发现所有样品都具有随机分布的金属浓度。在收集的样品中发现了大量高浓度的金属是钙、铁和锌。使用平均每日剂量 (ADD)、危害商数 (HQ) 和危害指数 (HI) 模型评估与蜂蜜中金属摄入量相关的健康问题。在所有样本中评估的成分中,儿童的估计健康风险值高于成人。所有计算的 ADD 值都低于匹配的参考值(Rf D) 值。发现各种蜂蜜中金属的匹配 HI 值小于 1,这意味着研究区域的蜂蜜消费没有非致癌风险。还计算了选定地区蜂蜜中铅、铬、镍和镉的摄入量的癌症风险 (CR)。在 Karak、Kohat、Nowshera、Bajur、Dir Upper 和 Mohmand Agency 等多个地区,Cr 和 Cd 的 CR 值超过了 1E-4,表明存在较小的危险。在 Karak 的情况下,Ni CR 值大于允许的限制。因此,密切关注蜂蜜中这些金属的浓度非常重要,因为人为输入可能会在未来提高它们的浓度,从而对健康构成威胁。
