Randomized trial assesses trace metal bioaccumulation in marine fish, highlighting health risks for consumers.

This study aims to investigate trace metal bioaccumulation in commercially important marine fishes and assess associated human health risks.
Conducted a multi-tissue assessment of eleven trace elements in five fish species from South Andaman Islands.
Analyzed concentrations in gills, liver, intestine, and muscle, using statistical multivariate analyses.
Performed a human health risk assessment focusing on muscle tissue consumption.
Eight trace metals were consistently detected, with liver being the primary reservoir for Cu, Fe, and Cd.
Human health assessment showed non-carcinogenic risk values within acceptable limits (HI < 1) for all species.
Total carcinogenic risk values for Cd and Pb exceeded USEPA benchmarks, indicating potential long-term risks for frequent consumers.

KUMAR et al. (2026) studied this question.
