우리나라 연안에서 어획, 또는 수입된 어류 33종 256건, 이매패류 15종 312건, 갑각류 12종 91건(총 782건), 기타 수산물 10종 123건의 시료를 대상으로 As, Cd 그리고 Pb의 함량을 A.A.S로 분석한 결과, 어류에서는 0.021mg/kg(N.D.~0.162 mg/kg), 0.0l4mg/kg(0.001~0.120 mg/kg), 0.111 mg/kg(0.015~0.499 mg/kg), 이매패류의 경우 0.052 mg/kg(0.003~0.311 mg/kg), 0.182 mg/kg(N.D.~1.905 mg/kg), 0.138 mg/kg(0.013~0.462 mg/kgg), 갑각류의 경우 0.042 mg/kg (N.D.~0.328 mg/kg), 0.079 mg/kg(0.002~1.113 mg/kg), 0.109 mg/kg(0.006-0.510 mg/kg) 그리고 기타 수산물의 경우 0.024 mg/kg(N.D.~0.181 mg/kg),0.033 mg/kg(0.001~0.214 mg/kg),0.118 mg/kg(0.010~0.877 mg/kg)으로 각각 나타나, 이매패류가 다른 종류에 비해 유의하게 높은 결과를 보였고(p<0.0001), 국내의 최대허용농도 이하였으며, 수산물을 통해 섭취되는 비소, 납, 카드뮴의 주간섭취량을 분석한 결과 FAO/WHO에서 권장하는 PTWI에 비해 1.4~26.4%정도인 것으로 나타났다.
This study was concentrated that the contents of heavy metals were estimated from 782 samples of sold fisheries in Seoul(33 species in fishes, 15 in bivalves, 12 in crustaceans and 10 in others) by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The contents of As, Cd and Pb [minimum~maximum (mean)] were N.D.~0.162 mg/kg(0.021),0.001~0.120 mg/kg(0.014) and 0.015~0.499 mg/kg(0.111) in fishes, 0.003~0.311 mg/kg(0.052), N.D.~1.905 mg/kg(0.182) and 0.013~0.462 mg/kg(0.138) in bivalves, N.D.~0.328 mg/kg(0.042), 0.002~1.113mg/kg(0.079) and 0.006~-.510 mg/kg(0.109) in crustaceans, N.D. ~0.181 mg/kg(0.024), 0.001~0.214 mg/kg(0.033) and 0.010~0.877 mg/kg(0.118) in others respectively, bivalves were the highest than others. The average weekly intakes of three metals from sold fisheries took about 1.4~26.4% of PTWI (provisional tolerable weekly intakes) that FAO/WHO Joint Food Additive and Contaminants Committee had set to evaluate their safety.
