FISH POLLUTION WITH HEAVY METALS
Abstract
The aim of this work is to identify and to find the concentration of some heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Fe, Hg, Pb) of different assortment of fish that we buy from markets: herring,
sprat, hake, pangasius, trout, broad snout, and mackerel. Heavy metal concentrations were measured using EDX and UV-VIS spectrometer techniques. Laboratory studies showed that
these fishes don’t contain Ni, Hg, Pb. They contain only Cr and Fe but the concentration don’t’ exceed the maximum admissible limit from current legislation. Also, heavy metals
content in bone is higher than in meat. Hake species do not accumulate heavy metals in meat, but they accumulate in the bone, completely.
