Abstract

Trace metals concentrations in the tissue of edible marine fish (4 species), olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii), file fish (Stephanolepis cirrhifer) and abbysal searobin (Lepidotrigla abyssalis), collected near the Yongho wharf in Busan were determined to assess the potential human health risk (HRA) of trace metals by fish consumption. Levels of Li, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb in the fish tissue were $0.005{\pm}0.009$, $0.77{\pm}0.30$, $0.29{\pm}0.34$, $0.49{\pm}0.14$, $15.96{\pm}2.52$, $10.62{\pm}4.67$, $0.001{\pm}0.002$, and $0.045{\pm}0.06mg/kgdw$ respectively. The estimated daily intakes of Cu and Zn and the estimated weekly intakes of As, Cd, and Pb from the fish collected near the Yongho wharf were 0.0032, 0.054-0.18% of PMTDI (provisional maximum tolerable daily intake) and 13, 0.0041, 0.020% of PTWI (provisional tolerable weekly intake) which were set to evaluate the food safeties by the JFCFA (The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives). Lifetime cancer risk and target hazard for local residents due to those fish consumption were found to be negligible.

본 연구는 부산연근해에서 서식하는 저서어류 체내의 미량금속에 의한 인체 위해 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 부산의 용호부두 인근에서 채취 된 4종의 식용저서어류 넙치, 우럭, 쥐치, 밑달갱이 조직내의 미량금속(trace metals)의 함량을 ICP-MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그리고 이를 토대로 어류섭취를 통한 미량금속의 인체 노출량을 파악하고, 이로 인한 잠재적 인체 위해도 평가를 수행하였다. 4종의 어류 조직 내 미량금속의 평균함량은 Li, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb이 각각 $0.005{\pm}0.009$, $0.77{\pm}0.30$, $0.29{\pm}0.34$, $0.49{\pm}0.14$, $15.96{\pm}2.52$, $10.62{\pm}4.67$, $0.001{\pm}0.002$, $0.045{\pm}0.06mg/kgdw$으로 나타났다. 이 지역에서 채취된 어류의 섭취로 인한 표준체중(60 kg)의 국민에 대한 노출평가 결과 Cu, Zn은 PMTDI (provisional maximum tolerable daily intake)의 0.0032, 0.054-0.18%, As, Cd, Pb는 PTWI (provisional tolerable weekly intake)값의 13, 0.0041, 0.020%로 나타나 합동식품첨가물전문가위원회(The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, JFCFA)에서 권고하는 각원소의 제한섭취량에 비하여 매우 낮은 수준이었다. 그리고 독성(비발암)위해도 평가 결과는 모두 HI (hazard index)지수가 1 이하로 장기간 섭취하여도 안전한 것으로 나타났으며, 4종의 모든 어류섭취로 인한 As의 노출로 인한 초과 발암 위해도도 10만명 당 1명 이하로 나타나 역시 장기섭취로 인한 발암 확률도 무시할 만한 수준인 것으로 나타났다.
