Wilman B, Normant-Saremba M, Rychter A, Bełdowska M. Total body burden of neurotoxicant Hg in Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) - Considerations of distribution and human risk assessment. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2024; 199:116028. [PMID: 38217916 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2024.116028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered one of the 100 most invasive alien species in the world. Despite this, its role in ecosystems, among others, in the trophodynamics of pollutants including mercury, is still not fully understood. Becoming an increasingly important and widespread element of the trophic chain in new areas arouses interest from humans as consumers. Hence it is important to determine the level of contaminants (including Hg) in alien species. In the present study, great attention was paid separately to the soft tissues and hard tissues of the exoskeleton, which may play an important role in the detoxification of the crab's body from toxic Hg. The study was conducted on crabs collected in 2011-2021 in the Vistula Lagoon. Concentrations of total mercury and its forms were carried out using a Direct Mercury Analyzer, DMA-80 (Milestone, Italy). The present study showed that mercury accumulation of the crab's body largely occurred through the gills, followed by the oral route. The distribution of Hg in the crab's organs was related to the trophic origin of the mercury, while halide-bound mercury and semilabile forms from the respiration (filtration) process were redistributed into the crab's exoskeleton. Male crabs, compared to females, had a higher Hg burden on internal organs such as their hepatopancreas and gonads. Hg concentration in hard tissues was closely related to the type of mineralization of the carapace. The elimination of Hg from the muscles and from the hepatopancreas into the carapace was one of the important detoxification processes of the crab's body. Thus, moulting crabs effectively remove Hg protecting its body from the neurotoxin. As a result, a smaller Hg load is biomagnified, making the crab's muscle tissue fit for human consumption. The observed decrease in Hg concentrations from 2011 to 2021, as well as the spatial variability of Hg in the crab's muscles, testify that the crab can serve as a biomonitor for ecosystem changes.

Abstract
This study estimates the intake of arsenic, lead and cadmium by the adult population (aged 18-91) of Cuba. The food consumption indices were obtained through 24-h dietary recall surveys applied to 450 people between October 2020 and March 2021. The Estimated Dietary Intake (EDI) of t-As (54.6 μg/day), Pb (118.5 μg/day) and Cd (35.1 μg/day) complied with Cuban legislation but was higher than the EDI for Cd established by the CONTAM Panel. The Target Hazard Quotients for the three contaminants were: iAs (0.220), Pb (0.409) and Cd (0.424), making the value of the Total Target Hazard Quotient 1.05, which indicates potential health risks for the population. Additionally, associated carcinogenic risks were: iAs (1.0·10-4), Pb (7.2·10-4) and Cd (25.9·10-4). Therefore, 10, 72 and 259 persons per 100,000 inhabitants are likely prone to developing cancer due to the ingestion of iAs, Pb and Cd, respectively.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a group of thousands of manmade chemicals widely used in consumer products and industrial processes. Toxicological studies have suggested that exposure to PFASs may lead to several adverse effects, including infertility and cancer development. In light of their widespread use, the contamination of food products has created health concerns in sites directly influenced by industrial and anthropogenic activity. In the present contribution, the current knowledge of PFAS contamination was systematically reviewed in order to provide with the knowledge gaps and main sources of contamination, as well as critically evaluate estimated dietary intake and relative risk values of the consulted studies. Legacy PFASs remain the most abundant despite their production restrictions. Edible species from freshwater bodies exhibit higher PFAS concentrations than marine species, probably due to low hydrodynamics and dilution in lentic ecosystems. Studies in food products from multiple sources, including aquatic, livestock, and agricultural, agree that the proximity to factories and fluorochemical industries rendered significantly higher and potentially hazardous PFAS contamination. Short-chain PFAS are suggested as chemicals of emerging concern to food security. However, the environmental and toxicological implications of short-chain congeners are not fully understood and, thus, much research is needed in this sense.

A baseline study on the distribution characteristics and health risk assessment of cadmium in edible tissues of the swimming crabs (Portunus trituberculatus) from Shanghai, China. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2022; 185:114253. [PMID: 36279728 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2022.114253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This study analyzed the cadmium accumulation differences in edible tissues of the swimming crabs (Portunus trituberculatus) from Shanghai markets, which were mostly caught in the East China Sea, and the human health risk of cadmium from crabs consumption was evaluated. A total of 78 swimming crabs were collected, and the white meat and brown meat were separated for the cadmium analysis by Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results revealed that there was difference in cadmium content in brown meat (1.260-16.303 mg/kg) and white meat (0.005-0.542 mg/kg). Furthermore, pollution index (Pi) results showed that only the claw muscle was at low contamination levels, while other edible tissues had varying degrees of contamination. Based on the health risk assessment by estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ) and target cancer risk (TCR), the consumption of the swimming crabs in Shanghai is considered safe, however, the accumulation of cadmium in the brown meat of swimming crabs deserves further attention and evaluation.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to measure the concentrations of arsenic speciation in shellfish from South China Sea and evaluate the health risk by local residents through shellfish consumption. The median concentrations (in wet weight) of arsenic speciation in shellfish samples were in the following order: AsB (16.0 mg·kg-1) > DMA (1.30 mg·kg-1) > AsV (0.23 mg·kg-1) > AsC (0.08 mg·kg-1) > AsIII (0.05 mg·kg-1) > MMA (0.01 mg·kg-1). Among shellfish species, Mactra mera and Babylonia areolata were found to accumulate iAs and AsB, respectively. The target hazard quotient values of iAs (THQiAs) in all shellfish samples were lower than 1. However, the carcinogenic risk values of iAs (CRiAs) in the Mactra mera, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Pinctada margaritifera were beyond the acceptable range, implying that continuous exposure to iAs pollution via the consumption of these shellfish would pose a potential cancer risk to local consumers.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:50316-50328. [PMID: 33956315 PMCID: PMC8445859 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-14093-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Recreational fishers often consume their catch, which may expose them to environmental contaminants. However, targeted risk assessment for exceeding the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of a specific contaminant is often lacking, as specific data on the extent of fishing, consumption rates, and contamination of the caught seafood is needed. This study examined recreational fishing for nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) at several different locations in Western Norway to identify important risk factors. The combination of a field survey to examine actual catches, interviews of recreational fishers about their seafood eating habits, and the analysis of total mercury (Hg, as a proxy for methylmercury (MeHg)) in recreationally captured nephrops allowed to conduct a targeted risk assessment. Recreational fishers consumed on average seven nephrops per meal, and 73% of the fishers ate nephrops once a month or more. The average Hg concentrations in nephrops were below the legal maximum level (100 ± 50 μg/kg wet weight (mean ± SD)). Hg concentrations in female nephrops were significantly higher than in males at the same size, and differed significantly between locations. The recreational fishers in this study were not at risk of exceeding the TWI for MeHg from consuming nephrops only; however, there is a general risk of exceeding TWI for MeHg as 70% of the fishers reported a frequent consumption of fish for dinner. Targeted risk assessments on recreational fishers may reveal particularly vulnerable populations where national dietary surveys may miss the highest seafood consumers.

Abstract
Exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) has various toxic effects on humans. The evaluation of human MeHg exposure has previously focused on fish consumption. However, in this study, we found that MeHg levels in domestic crabs in China were also relatively high (range: 50-1400 ng/g, dry weight). The high MeHg levels in crabs and their high consumption do not match the risk assessment of MeHg, indicating an underestimated exposure risk, especially in MeHg-sensitive groups such as pregnant women. The annual crab MeHg content output in China was estimated to be 30 ± 27 kg. A total of 6.8% of the country's land area contributes 71% of the MeHg output. However, 66% of the output is redistributed to non-crab-producing regions via interregional food trade, posing risks to the population on a national scale. The daily intake of MeHg from crabs could easily exceed the reference dose (0.1 µg/kg of body weight per day) suggested by the United States Environmental Protection Agency with consideration of coexposure from fish, rice, and other food sources. We suggest that future MeHg exposure analysis includes crab MeHg as a coexposure pathway to estimate the dietary MeHg limit accurately and emphasize the influence of interregional food trade on MeHg exposure.

Abstract
This study evaluated the food safety of the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) found in Shandong Province, China and obtained information on possible edible parts and gender differences. White and brown muscle samples from 108 swimming crabs were collected from seven cities along the eastern coastline of Shandong Province and analyzed for levels of Cu, Zn, Ni, As, Fe, Mn, Cr, Se, Cd, and Pb. There were significant differences in the metal concentrations among different edible muscles. High concentrations of Zn, Mn, and Cr were found in leg and claw meat while Fe, Cu, Ni, As, Cd, Pb, and Se were predominantly found in the hepatopancreas and gonads. Gender differences were found only for Fe and Zn. Based on the estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), total target hazard quotient (TTHQ), and the permissible safety limits prescribed by various agencies, consumption of the swimming crab is considered safe.

Abstract
The aim of the current work is to examine the concentrations of nine heavy metals such as chromium, nickel, copper, cadmium, zinc, cobalt, iron, lead, and metal (aluminium) in two body parts (carapace and walking legs) of Liocarcinus depurator from different stations (İlyas bey, Cide koyu, Anadolu feneri, igneada) in the western Black Sea coast of Turkey. And this study was carried out to examine morphological properties of Liocarcinus depurator in the region. The sex ratio (female/male) of 387 samples was calculated as F/M = 1:0.945. The mean carapace length and width were measured as 20.41 ± 2.41 mm and 25.10 ± 2.78 mm for female and 25.49 ± 3.33 mm and 32.32 ± 4.50 mm for male individually. The mean weight of crabs was measured as 4.09 ± 1.37 g for females and 8.33 ± 3.35 g for males. The samples were investigated trace metals by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Ranges over trace metals in all samples of L. depurator as follows: Cr 0.6-1.5, Mn 21-130, Cu 8-37, Zn 6-40, Cd 0.2-1.5, Pb 0.1-3.6, Co 0.1-1.1, Fe 22-160, and Ni 0.6-1 mg/kg wet wt. The walking legs and carapace/exoskeleton of female and male crabs were analyzed and contained various concentrations of Pb, Co, Ni, Cr, Cd, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn elements. The order of the heavy metal in all samples of L. depurator is shown as Fe > Cu > Mn > Zn > Cr > Cr > Ni > Cd > Pb > Co. In this research, metal levels of the crab samples compared between female and male and found highest mean metal concentrations in the station number 3 (Anadolu feneri) that the Al concentration in the carapace of female was 295.0 mg/kg wet wt and in the walking legs was 306.67 mg/kg wet wt, in the carapace of male was 264.4 mg/kg wet wt, and in the walking legs was 162.61 mg/kg wet wt in station number 3 (Anadolu feneri). The purpose of this work is to analyze the metal composition of this type of crab, which is abundant in the Black Sea region and is not planned to be attached to fisherman's nets, to evaluate whether it will be useful or not.

Abstract
Arsenic is the most toxic element for humans. Presenting naturally in aquatic ecosystems and due to anthropogenic action, this semi-metal transfers to shellfish through the food chain. This systematic review aims to explain the dynamic of arsenic in the marine aquatic system, investigating factors that affect its bioaccumulation. A total of 64 articles were considered from three databases. The key abiotic factor influencing the presence of arsenic in shellfish is anthropogenic contamination, followed by geographic location. The crucial biotic factor is the genetics of each species of shellfish, including their diet habits, habitat close to the sediment, metabolic abilities, physiological activities of organisms, and metal levels in their habitats and food. Finally, arsenic presents an affinity for specific tissues in shellfish. Despite containing mostly less toxic organic arsenic, shellfish are a relevant source of arsenic in the human diet.

Concentrations of total mercury and methylmercury in red snow crabs (Chionoecetes japonicus) caught off the coast of Japan. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2019; 145:1-4. [PMID: 31590765 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.04.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2018] [Revised: 04/24/2019] [Accepted: 04/25/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The total mercury (T-Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in red snow crabs (Chionoecetes japonicus) caught off the coast of Japan were analyzed. The T-Hg concentration ranged from 0.03 to 0.56 mg/kg (mean: 0.21 mg/kg) in the raw muscle, and 0.02 to 0.74 mg/kg (mean: 0.27 mg/kg) in the boiled muscle. The MeHg concentration ranged from 0.04 to 0.54 mg/kg (mean: 0.20 mg/kg) in the raw muscle. The mean ratio of MeHg to T-Hg was 0.88. The crab body weight was found to significantly correlate with the concentrations of T-Hg (r = 0.488) and MeHg (r = 0.490) (p ≤ 0.01). For the general population in Japan, the intake of MeHg from eating red snow crab was estimated to be lower than 0.013 mg/week, which was less than one-sixth of the tolerable MeHg intake (0.08 mg/week).

Abstract
Despite being highly appreciated and consumed, the nutritional value of Chaceon maritae from Namibe (Angola) had never been studied. In the present work, edible tissues (muscle, ovaries, and hepatopancreas) of boiled female C. maritae caught off Namibe coast in two distinct seasons were analyzed in terms of proximate chemical composition (fat, ash, protein, and moisture), fatty acid and amino acid profiles, cholesterol, essential minerals (macro and trace) and toxic elements. Results showed that, in both seasons, C. maritae muscle was a valuable source of protein, essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and essential elements, especially zinc, selenium, iodine, and copper. Ovaries and hepatopancreas are also good sources of protein, but were richer in fat, particularly when caught in October. Ovarian fat is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and that of hepatopancreas has higher values of monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids. Hepatopancreas and ovaries are also good sources of copper and, especially ovaries, of zinc. Moreover, in both seasons, all the edible tissues of C. maritae analyzed presented very low contents of heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic).

Abstract
This study evaluated lead (Pb) content in mangrove root crabs Goniopsis cruentata and performed a risk assessment based on individual frequency of food consumption of the residents of an estuarine village in Brazil. The Pb content in the raw and two forms of processed crabs were analyzed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Based on consumption by the community, estimates of non-carcinogenic target hazard quotients (THQ) were calculated. The mean (± SD) Pb concentrations in raw tissues were: 0.17 (± 0.36), < 0.012 and 0.05 (± 0.09) mg kg-1 (gills, muscle and hepatopancreas), respectively. In the processed products, the highest levels were found in the traditional stew collected in April (2.84 mg kg-1), surpassing the maximum limit allowed. The THQ for consumption of traditional stew was < 1, classified as negligible risk. The G. cruentata of the Jaguaripe River estuary can be considered a safe food, but cooking should be avoided in lead-glazed pottery.

Concentrations of trace metals in tissues of Chionoecetes crabs (Chionoecetes japonicus and Chionoecetes opilio) caught from the East/Japan Sea waters and potential risk assessment.

Abstract
The concentrations of trace metals (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, and Zn) were measured in muscle and hepatopancreas of two Chionoecetes crabs (Chionoecetes japonicus and C. opilio) caught from the East/Japan Sea (EJS) in order to assess the potential health risk by the consumption of deep sea crabs. The highest metal concentrations in muscle and hepatopancreas were As and Fe, respectively, while the lowest metal concentration in two tissues was Pb. The mean concentrations of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, and Pb in Chionoecetes crabs were one or two orders of magnitude higher in hepatopancreas than in muscles. The mean concentrations of As, Cu, and Hg in muscle and hepatopancreas were relatively higher in C. japonicus than in C. opilio. The estimated daily intakes (EDI) of all metals in muscle were below 0.1% of the provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI) adopted by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives. Similarly, the target hazard quotient (THQ) of all trace metals in muscle was less than 1.0. These results imply that Chionoecetes crabs caught from EJS do not have an adverse impact on the Korean health. Based on the mean metal concentrations, PTDI, and THQ, the daily maximum permissible intakes of C. japonicus and C. opilio were estimated to be approximately 240 and 410 g/day, respectively.

Abstract
Hg pollution released from the U-864 submarine sunk during WWII and potential introduction of that Hg into the marine food chain have been studied by a combination of quantitative Hg and MeHg determination and Hg isotopic analysis via cold vapor generation multicollector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (CVG-MC-ICP-MS) in sediment and Cancer pagurus samples. The sediment pollution could be unequivocally linked with the metallic Hg present in the wreck. Crabs were collected at the wreck location and 4 nmi north and south, and their brown and claw meat were analyzed separately. For brown meat, the δ202Hg values of the individuals from the wreck location were shifted toward the isotopic signature of the sediment and, thus, the submarine Hg. Such differences were not found for claw meat. The isotope ratio results suggest direct ingestion of metallic Hg by C. pagurus but do not offer any proof for any other introduction of the submarine Hg into the marine food chain.
