Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the health risks related to eating crabs and periwinkles from Southern Nigerian coastal areas that are contaminated by crude oil. Periwinkles and crabs from contaminated locations were tested for Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and heavy metal (HM) levels using US-EPA standard, and the health risks to humans of eating these seafood were assessed. 20 samples of periwinkles and crabs were collected from crude oil-polluted coastal areas. Health risk assessments were conducted using Dietary Daily Intake (DDI), PAH4 index, Carcinogenic Toxic Equivalent (TEQs), Excess Cancer Risk (ECR) for PAHs, as well as Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Cancer Risk Assessment (CRA) for HMs. The PAH concentration in periwinkles and crabs are 0.76 mg/kg and 0.49 mg/kg respectively. Dietary daily intake (DDI) of individual PAHs for Periwinkle ranged from 0 to 0.0126 and for crabs, it ranged from 0 to x10−4. The ECR evaluated for Periwinkle and crabs ranges from 0 to 9 × 10−7, and 0–2.1 × 10−7 respectively. The TEQ for periwinkle is 0.12874 mg/kg and 0.15646 mg/kg for crabs. The evaluated PAH4 is 0.1061 mg/kg for Periwinkle and 0.1352 mg/kg for Crabs. The concentration of PAHs was found to be 0.76 mg/kg in periwinkles and 0.49 mg/kg in crabs. DDI values for individual PAHs ranged from 0 to 0.0126 for periwinkles and 0–0 to x10−4 for crabs. ECR values ranged from 0 to 9 x 10−7 for periwinkles and 0–2.1 x 10−7 for crabs. TEQ values were 0.12874 mg/kg for periwinkles and 0.15646 mg/kg for crabs. Deduction from PAH4 index exceeded the permissible limit set by the European Union. TEQ values indicate that periwinkles were below the screening value (SV) of 0.0389 mg/kg, while crabs exceeded it. The ECR for the shellfish was also found to be within the acceptable risk level. All HMs were within EPA permissible limits except cadmium (Cd). HQ indicated potential health risks from crab consumption, while CRA showed no carcinogenic risk from either shellfish. The study recommends that if crude oil pollution in coastal areas continues, severe health implications will be inevitable. Therefore, it is crucial to implement measures to mitigate pollution levels and monitor seafood safety regularly to protect public health.
尼日利亚南部受原油污染的沿海地区食用的长尾螺(fusca mutans Pachymelania)和蟹(Scylla serrata)中多环芳烃和重金属含量的健康风险评估。
本研究旨在评估食用尼日利亚南部沿海地区受原油污染的螃蟹和长春花鱼的健康风险。采用美国环境保护署(US-EPA)标准,对污染海域的海产品和螃蟹进行了多环芳烃(PAH)和重金属(HM)含量检测,并评估了食用这些海产品对人体的健康风险。从原油污染的沿海地区采集了20个长春花和螃蟹样本。采用膳食日摄入量(DDI)、PAH4指数、致癌毒性当量(TEQs)、PAHs的过量致癌风险(ECR)以及HMs的危害商(HQ)和癌症风险评估(CRA)进行健康风险评估。长春花和螃蟹的多环芳烃浓度分别为0.76 mg/kg和0.49 mg/kg。长春花日采食量(DDI)在0 ~ 0.0126之间,蟹的DDI在0 ~ x10-4之间。长春花和螃蟹的ECR值分别为0 ~ 9 × 10-7和0 ~ 2.1 × 10-7。长春花的TEQ为0.12874 mg/kg,螃蟹的TEQ为0.15646 mg/kg。对长春花的PAH4评价值为0.1061 mg/kg,螃蟹的PAH4评价值为0.1352 mg/kg。长春花中多环芳烃的浓度为0.76 mg/kg,螃蟹中多环芳烃的浓度为0.49 mg/kg。长春花各PAHs的DDI值为0 ~ 0.0126,螃蟹的DDI值为0 ~ 0 ~ x10-4。长春花的ECR值为0 ~ 9 × 10-7,螃蟹为0 ~ 2.1 × 10-7。长春花的TEQ值为0.12874 mg/kg,螃蟹的TEQ值为0.15646 mg/kg。PAH4指数扣除额超过欧盟规定的允许限值。TEQ值表明长春花低于筛选值(SV) 0.0389 mg/kg,而蟹超过筛选值。贝类的ECR亦在可接受的风险水平内。除镉(Cd)外,所有HMs均在EPA允许范围内。总部表示,食用螃蟹有潜在的健康风险,而CRA显示,这两种贝类都没有致癌风险。该研究建议,如果沿海地区的原油污染继续下去,严重的健康影响将不可避免。因此,必须采取措施减轻污染程度,并定期监测海产品安全,以保障公众健康。
