Article Synopsis
- Heavy metal contamination in seafood poses health risks, prompting a study in Egypt's coastal regions, which are key for seafood.
- The study tested 96 samples of sardines and shrimp from four governorates for toxic metals (Hg, Pb, Cd, As) using advanced spectrometry, finding no mercury and varying levels of lead and cadmium, especially higher in winter.
- Overall, health risk assessments showed low risk for consumers, except sardines from Kafr El-Sheikh, which had elevated metal levels indicating potential health concerns.
