چکیده انگلیسی
This work aimed to evaluate associated risks of fish consumption to human health, concerning mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) concentrations in fish species largely consumed in the Tapajós River basin in the Brazilian Amazon. Total mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg) and Se concentrations were measured in 129 fish specimens from four sites of the Tapajós River basin. Estimated daily intake (EDI) of Hg and Se were reported regarding fish consumption. EDI were compared with the reference value of provisional tolerable daily intake proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Se:Hg ratios and selenium health benefit values (Se HBVs) seem to offer a more comprehensive fish safety model. THg concentrations in fishes ranged from 0.03 to 1.51â¯Î¼gâ¯gâ1 of wet weight (w.w.) and MeHg concentrations ranged from 0.02 to 1.44â¯Î¼gâ¯gâ1 (w.w.). 80% of the samples were below the value of Hg recommended by the WHO for human consumption (0.5â¯Î¼gâ¯gâ1 w.w.). However, Hg EDI exceeded the dose suggested by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (0.1â¯Î¼gâ¯kgâ1â¯dayâ1), due to the large level of fish consumption in that area. Se concentrations in fishes ranged from 0.02 to 0.44â¯Î¼gâ¯gâ1 w.w. An inverse pattern was observed between Hg and Se concentrations in the trophic chain (highest levels of Se in the lowest trophic levels). The molar ratio Se:Hg and Se HBVs were higher in iliophagous and herbivorous fishes, which is noteworthy to reduce toxic effects of Hg contamination. For planktivores, the content of Se and Hg was almost equimolar. Carnivorous fishes - with the exception of Hemisorubim platyrhynchos and Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum -, showed Se:Hg ratios <1. Thus, they do not act as a favorable source of Se in the diet. Therefore, reduced intake of carnivorous fishes with preferential consumption of iliophages, herbivores and, to some extent, even planktivores should be promoted as part of a healthier diet.
