Abstract

The hazards of heavy metals in fast foods have been evaluated in this study. For this purpose, the carcinogenic and the non-carcinogenic hazards of chromium, nickel, lead, copper, and iron concentrations were measured in 40 fast food samples purchased in 2018 from the restaurants in two districts of Isfahan, Iran. The results indicated that in all the tested samples, only the average concentrations of copper are within the permissible limits. For the two groups of children and adults, the highest target hazard quotients for lead were 33.84 and 98.72%, respectively. The cumulative hazard index for all the considered metals in both groups was greater than 1. Of all the heavy metals analyzed in the examined food samples, only chromium (in both age groups) and nickel (in children only) showed an incremental lifetime cancer risk. The concentrations of chromium, nickel, lead, and iron in Mushroom burger, Fried mushrooms, Hamburger with mushroom, and Vegetables pizza were higher than those in other fast foods respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that the mentioned foods are the major sources of heavy metal ingested by human and that their consumption should be closely monitored and managed by the authorities and supervising organizations.
伊朗伊斯法罕地区快餐中重金属(铬、镍、铅、铜和铁)的风险评估
本研究对快餐中重金属的危害进行了评估。为此,研究人员测量了2018年从伊朗伊斯法罕两个地区的餐馆购买的40份快餐样品中铬、镍、铅、铜和铁的致癌和非致癌危害。结果表明,在所有检测样品中,只有铜的平均浓度在允许范围内。儿童和成人两组铅的最高目标危险系数分别为33.84和98.72%。两组中所有考虑金属的累积危害指数均大于1。在食物样本中分析的所有重金属中,只有铬(在两个年龄组中)和镍(仅在儿童中)显示出终生癌症风险的增加。蘑菇汉堡、油炸蘑菇、蘑菇汉堡、蔬菜披萨中铬、镍、铅、铁的含量分别高于其他快餐食品。因此,上述食品是人类摄入重金属的主要来源,当局和监管机构应密切监测和管理其消费情况。
