Measurement of some heavy metals in the muscle tissue of some fish as a bioindicator of marine environmental
الملخص
In order to evaluate possible hazards to the environment and public health, this study examines the buildup of heavy metals in the muscle tissue of three local fish species. We analyzed fish samples taken from the local market of Baniwaleed city in Libya to determine the concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu) using sophisticated analytical techniques. The fish that were studied were trumpet fish (Boops Boops), sardines (Sardina pilchardus), and sarpa salpa. These species are found far from the coast and were chosen for their ecological and economic significance. The purpose of this research is to ascertain the degree of heavy metal buildup in these fish's bodies, as well as how these metals get passed down the food chain and eventually enter human bodies. Our findings point to important variations in heavy metal accumulation amongst species.
The findings highlight potential health risks associated with consuming these fish, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and pregnant women. This study underscores the necessity for regular monitoring of heavy metal concentrations in local fish and the implementation of pollution control measures to protect both aquatic ecosystems and public health. Recommendations include enhanced regulatory frameworks, public awareness campaigns, and further research into the long-term effects of heavy metal exposure on fish and humans.
