Abstract

Mercury (Hg) contaminated seafood can cause severe health problems if it is consumed regularly. Mercury is very dangerous for humans because it can damage or reduce the function of the central nervous system, blood composition, lungs, kidneys, and other vital organs. This metal can also cause birth defects in newly born babies. The objectives of this study were to determine the concentration of total mercury (THg) in clams (Periglypta crispata) collected from Kepulauan Seribu Regency and the safe amount per week for consuming them. The safe amount (kg per week) to consume this clam was calculated by the Maximum Tolerable Intake (MTI) method. Our results showed that the average concentration of THg in the clams was 0.18±0.07  mg/kg wet weight. Among the analyzed organs, THg accumulation was highest in the digestive tract tissues. The clams were still safe to be consumed by humans since the THg concentration in these clams has not exceeded the maximum limit of heavy metal in seafood (0.5 mg/kg) set by the government of Indonesia. The safe amount to consume these clams was 0.53 kg per week, to avoid the adverse effect of Hg to human health.
印尼西里布岛吉普朗蛤(Periglypta crispata)中总汞(THg)浓度的健康风险评估
如果经常食用受汞污染的海鲜,会导致严重的健康问题。汞对人类非常危险,因为它会损害或降低中枢神经系统、血液成分、肺、肾脏和其他重要器官的功能。这种金属也会导致新生儿的出生缺陷。本研究的目的是确定采自塞里布群岛的蛤(Periglypta crispata)中总汞(THg)的浓度和每周食用蛤的安全量。采用最大容许摄取量(MTI)法计算安全摄取量(kg /周)。结果表明,蛤体中THg的平均浓度为0.18±0.07 mg/kg湿重。在各脏器中,THg的积累在消化道组织中最高。由于这些蛤蜊中的THg浓度未超过印度尼西亚政府规定的海产品重金属最高限量(0.5 mg/kg),因此仍然可以安全食用。为了避免汞对人体健康的不利影响,每周食用这些蛤蜊的安全量为0.53公斤。
