Abstract
A health risk assessment was carried out to determine the probability of damage and carcinogenic effects from consumption of mushrooms potentially contaminated by Cr, based on data reported by López-Vázquez and Prieto-García 2016 in Hidalgo state.1 The evaluation was carried out based on an environmental risk indicator: potential ecological risk (Er); and two health risk indicators: the hazard quotient, non-cancer damage (HQ) and the risk of increase of individual cancer (RIIC). The results showed that there is a high probability of carcinogenic damage for the 3 regions where older adults and pregnant are the most vulnerable sectors. Due to the traditional use of edible mushrooms in Mexico, the evidence of bioaccumulation of heavy metals of toxicological interest (MTI) in fungal species, as well as the notable damage to health due to their consumption; the monitoring and implementation of standards that regulate their consumption and ensuring their food safety is essential is essential. More research is required to support the use of these evaluations.
期刊介绍:
The rapid growth of interest in medicinal mushrooms research is matched by the large number of disparate groups that currently publish in a wide range of publications. The International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms is the one source of information that will draw together all aspects of this exciting and expanding field - a source that will keep you up to date with the latest issues and practice. The International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms published original research articles and critical reviews on a broad range of subjects pertaining to medicinal mushrooms, including systematics, nomenclature, taxonomy, morphology, medicinal value, biotechnology, and much more.
