Abstract
⺠There could be health implications due to exposure to trace elements. ⺠Estimated health risks are greatest from the consumption of mussels. ⺠Daily intake of As, Co, Se, Zn and Cu suggested non-carcinogenic risk. ⺠Consumption of mussel from contaminated areas should be made with moderation. ⺠The general population is, potentially, at a low risk of metal exposure.
