낙동강 상류지역의 안동댐, 임하댐, 영주댐 유역에 서식하는 물고기에 대하여 근육부, 아가미, 위, 간 부위로 분리하여 중금속 분석을 수행하였다. 분석한 물고기는 갈겨니(dark chub), 강준치(skygager), 꺽지(coreoperca herzi), 끄리(Korean piscivorous chub), 누치(cornet fish), 떡붕어(Japan crucian carp), 메기(catfish), 배스(bass), 붕어(crucian carp), 쏘가리(mandarin fish), 잉어(carp), 참마자(long-nosed barbel), 치리(Korean sharpbelly) 등 13개 어종으로 ICP/MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 전체 평균 농도를 기준으로 근육부는 수은을 제외한 모든 중금속 항목에서 다른 부위에 비해 낮았다. 아가미 부위는 크롬, 망간, 니켈, 납, 위 부위는 아연, 간 부위는 철, 구리, 비소, 카드뮴이 다른 금속에 비해 높은 농도값을 나타내었다.

Shellfish are exoskeleton-bearing aquatic invertebrates that consume various organic and inorganic substances floating in seawater through filter feeding. Heavy metals are known as absorbed and accumulated in seawater. Some of the toxic heavy metals are highly accumulated in seawater, and exposure to them can cause a variety of risks to the human body. Since Koreans like to eat seafood, they are more likely to be exposed to contaminated seafood with heavy metals. In this study, nine types of heavy metals were analyzed on ten different shellfish species in the coastal area of South Korea. The risk assessment was also done on shellfish in which heavy metals were detected. Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) were identified at an average of 56.7 mg/kg (6.70 to 466 mg/kg) and 13.2 mg/kg (0.064 to 143 mg/kg), respectively. Lead (Pb) average of 0.208 mg/kg (0.000750 to 1.02 mg/kg), cadmium (Cd) average of 0.454 mg/kg (0.0388 to 1.56 mg/kg) and mercury (Hg) average of 0.0266 mg/kg (0.00548 to 0.174 mg/kg) were identified. Additionally, arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and silver (Ag) were also identified as average concentrations of 4.02 (0.460 to 15.0 mg/kg), 0.167 (< limit of quantification [LOQ] to 0.820 mg/kg), 0.281 (< LOQ to 1.46 mg/kg), and 0.158 mg/kg (< LOQ to 1.15 mg/kg). The result indicates that the monitoring results of heavy metals in most shellfish satisfied the Korean standard. However, Pb and Cd have exceeded some foreign standards, such as the United States and the EU. The permissible human exposure calculated using the heavy metal intake and detection amount was lower than the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives human safety standard, and the risk of heavy metals from shellfish consumption was at an acceptable level.
