Abstract

This paper aimed to reveal the inorganic arsenic content and its dietary health risk in common aquatic products in Guangdong and to make consumption recommendations. Total and inorganic arsenic in aquatic products were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HPLC-AFS), respectively. Furthermore, the contamination levels were classified using the single-factor pollution index (Pi). In addition, the health risks were evaluated using the ratio of the estimated weekly intake to provisional tolerable weekly intake (EWI/PTWI), target hazard quotients (THQ), carcinogenic risk (CR), and health risk assessment models (CRlim and CRmm). Results showed that total arsenic levels were in the order of algae>crustaceans>fish>shellfish. Inorganic arsenic in algae accounted for 59.01%-92.73% of the total arsenic and the rest was below 10%. Pi showed that although algae exceeded the limit, the rest were at light or no contamination levels. The health risk suggested that the THQ and CR values of algae were greater than acceptable levels and there was some health risk, therefore, consumers were advised to control their daily consumption and number of monthly meals appropriately.

Key words： aquatic products; arsenic; ICP-MS; HPLC-AFS; risk assessment
