“…The concept of compensating for daily requirements of essential trace elements assumes significance. The calculation of the percentage compensation of minimum daily requirements (CDR min ) for these elements in humans consuming meat is executed through the equation provided by Yildiz et al ( 2023 ): where:…”

“…Particularly, heavy metals such as arsenic (As), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and Cd, along with insecticides, industrial waste, and environmental pollutants, can reach wetlands and be transferred to humans through the food chain. These heavy metals, especially toxic elements like As, Pb, Hg, and Cd, are known to have adverse effects on human health (Yildiz et al 2023 ; Acarlı et al 2023 ). The ratio between Hg and selenium (Se) is especially crucial in terms of human health.…”

This study aims to investigate the metal content, fatty acid composition, lipid quality, and potential health risks of Pontastacus leptodactylus crayfish inhabiting Atikhisar Dam Lake. The research covers a 12-month period and includes both male and female individuals. The study investigated the metal content of crayfish specimens. In female individuals, the metal concentrations were ranked as Fe > Zn > Al > Cu > Mn > Se > As > Hg > Cd > Pb, while in male individuals, the ranking was Fe > Al > Zn > Cu > Mn > Se > As > Hg > Pb > Cd. The results demonstrate that Atherogenicity Index (AI) values for both genders range between 0.21 and 0.31, and Thrombogenicity Index (TI) values fall within 0.14 and 0.20. This indicates that crayfish meat is composed of healthy and high-quality fatty acids. In male individuals, omega-3 values range from 25.28 ± 0.380% to 28.34 ± 0.430%, and in female individuals, they vary from 22.98 ± 0.195% to 28.73 ± 0.871%. These findings underscore the absence of significant health risks associated with mercury levels in crayfish meat. Monthly meal calculations reveal that consuming female crayfish at an average of 4.35 servings per month for adults and 2.24 servings per month for children presents no health hazards. Similarly, the consumption of crayfish meat at an average of 5.29 servings per month for adult males and 2.72 servings per month for male children is deemed safe for health. Based on these results, the lipid quality of both male and female individuals from this species is found to be beneficial, as confirmed by risk–benefit assessments.

“…The precise line between whether a metal should be considered beneficial or harmful is dependent on dose limits and exposure frequencies (Alkan et al 2016;Leonard et al 2022;Yildiz et al 2023 ). Trace elements such as copper, manganese, zinc, iron are essential for the metabolic activities in humans and other living organisms, which however can be toxic and cause severe damage at high levels of bioaccumulation in tissues (Çağlak & Karsli 2014;Makedonski et al 2017).…”

The present study investigated the bioaccumulation of metals in raw, heat treated -and sterilized Rapa whelk, and evaluated consumer risks for human. All metals, except Mn, were lower than permissible FAO standards. A remarkable amount of metal was released into the cooking juice (Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, Sb, Se, Zn) after heat treatment, and hypochlorite solution (Al, As, Cu, Hg, Mn, Pb, Se, Zn). After sterilization, the levels for As, Mo, Cd, Sb, Cr, Zn, Se, Cu, and Hg in Rapa whelk were reduced by 47.4%, 40.1%, 24.9%, 20.3%, 17.5%, 4.5%, 3.6%, 0.93%, and 0.68%, respectively. Metals in Rapa whelk exposed to hypochlorite immersion were below permissible upper limits. Target hazard quotients for non-carcinogenic risks of consuming sterilized Rapa whelk were below “1” (THQ

Bee pollen is a complex natural compound formed by the honey bee when it mixes with pollen, nectar, and bee saliva. It contains wide range elements that have great importance for the human biochemical process. However, when the content of certain minerals in the pollen exceeds the legal limit, it can have a toxic effect on health. The objective of this study aimed to assess and identify the presence of 16 essential (K, P, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Si, Mn, Zn, B, Cu, Mo, Ni, Cr, Se, and Co) and 16 non‐essential elements (Al, Be, Ba, As, Cd, Hg, Tl, Li, Sb, U, Pb, Rb, Sr, Cs, Ti and U) in bee pollen samples from different floral sources in Turkey, while also evaluating the non‐carcinogenic risks associated with bee pollen. A melissopalynological investigation was conducted to identify the plant origins of the bee pollen samples. Afterwards, the levels of 32 elements in bee pollen samples were quantified using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP‐MS). Finally, calculations were performed to determine the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) %, estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), and hazard index (HI). The bee pollen samples had varying levels of macro, trace, and ultra‐trace elements, with K, P, Ca, Mg, and Na being the most abundant macro elements, and Ti, Ba, Ni, Cr, and V being the least abundant ultra‐trace elements. The RDA % values for essential elements in bee pollen were found to vary, with Cu, Zn, Fe, and Cr being the highest. The results of the THQ and HI calculations showed that consuming bee pollen at recommended rates did not pose a risk to the health of adults or children (THQ <1; HI< 1).
