Abstract

Metal contamination of foodstuffs is a major public health challenge of increasing concern. The present study aimed to determine lead, cadmium and mercury in honey, cow's milk and poultry eggs collected from the North-Eastern region of Algeria and to evaluate the health risks associated with their regular consumption. To this aim 30 samples of each foodstuff were analysed using ICP-MS. Among the quantified heavy metals, Pb was found at the highest level in both honey (0.752 ± 0.16 µg g^-1) and poultry egg (0.988 ± 0.19 µg g^-1) in the region of Skikda. The highest values of Cd (0.798 ± 0.12 µg g^-1) and Hg (0.097 ± 0.02 µg g^-1) were found in poultry eggs collected from the same region. For infants the Hazard Index was well above 1 in honey samples from all three locations, in cow's milk collected from Mila and Skikda and in poultry eggs collected from Skikda.

阿尔及利亚东北部蜂蜜、牛奶和鸡蛋中的金属与健康风险。

食品中的金属污染是一项重大的公共卫生挑战，日益引起人们的关注。本研究旨在确定从阿尔及利亚东北部地区采集的蜂蜜、牛奶和禽蛋中的铅、镉和汞含量，并评估与经常食用这些食品有关的健康风险。为此，使用 ICP-MS 对每种食品的 30 个样本进行了分析。在量化的重金属中，Skikda 地区蜂蜜（0.752 ± 0.16 µg g-1）和禽蛋（0.988 ± 0.19 µg g-1）中的铅含量最高。在同一地区采集的禽蛋中，镉（0.798 ± 0.12 µg g-1）和汞（0.097 ± 0.02 µg g-1）的含量最高。在所有三个地点采集的蜂蜜样本、在米拉和斯基克达采集的牛奶样本以及在斯基克达采集的禽蛋样本中，婴儿的危害指数都远高于 1。

期刊介绍： Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B publishes surveillance data indicating the presence and levels of occurrence of designated food additives, residues and contaminants in foods, food supplements and animal feed. Data using validated methods must meet stipulated quality standards to be acceptable and must be presented in a prescribed format for subsequent data-handling. Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B restricts its scope to include certain classes of food additives, residues and contaminants. This is based on a goal of covering those areas where there is a need to record surveillance data for the purposes of exposure and risk assessment. The scope is initially restricted to: Additives - food colours, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives; Residues – veterinary drug and pesticide residues; Contaminants – metals, mycotoxins, phycotoxins, plant toxins, nitrate/nitrite, PCDDs/PCFDs, PCBs, PAHs, acrylamide, 3-MPCD and contaminants derived from food packaging. Readership: The readership includes scientists involved in all aspects of food safety and quality and particularly those involved in monitoring human exposure to chemicals from the diet. Papers reporting surveillance data in areas other than the above should be submitted to Part A . The scope of Part B will be expanded from time-to-time to ensure inclusion of new areas of concern.
