Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals Concentrations in Processed Canned Meat in Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Meat forms a considerable component of diet, providing essential nutrients to a large number of people around the world. The chemical composition of meat depends on the kind, degree and quality in feeding (feeds and water); therefore, the potent consequences of feeding livestock with polluted feeds and water challenges the wholesomeness of the meat by exposing man to array of toxic chemicals via bioaccumulation and biomagnifications. The use of canning to prolong meat shelf life, easy transportation, distribution and uses, has further questioned the quality of canned meat products. This survey determines the content of Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Tin, Lead, Mercury, Manganese, Nickel and Zinc in canned meat by means of ICP-MS apparatus and mercury analyzer; compared with recommended standards for heavy metals concentrations. Results from this survey shows that Sn, Hg and Fe were below recommended limit in all canned meat products; Cd is also within limits except in Costa product; Cu is within limits except in Exerter and Costa products; unfortunately, Cr, Pb, Mn, Ni and Zn were above recommended limits in all the products. At 95%, the differences concerning heavy metals and various canned meat products were statistically significant. The study, therefore, recommended that the daily ingestion of the above canned products should be limited to avert possible adverse carcinogenic effects in future.
