DOMATES ÖRNEKLERİNDE KURŞUN VE KADMİYUM KONTAMİNASYONUNUN SAĞLIK RİSK DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Sebzeler, insan beslenmesinin hayati bir bileşeni olan önemli bir tarımsal üründür. Yaygın olarak tüketilen domateste toksik elementlerin varlığı, olası olumsuz sağlık etkileri nedeniyle büyük endişe kaynağıdır. Bu çalışmada, farklı pazarlardan temin edilen 18 adet domates örneğinin kadmiyum ve kurşun içeriği araştırıldı. Örneklerdeki element konsantrasyonları, İndüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma Kütle Spektrometresi (ICP MS) kullanılarak belirlendi. Metot validasyonu; doğrusallık, geri kazanım, tespit limiti ve miktar tayini limitinin değerlendirilmesi için uygulandı. Metot validasyonu için sertifikalı referans madde olarak ERM-BC084 Tomato Paste kullanıldı. Sonuçlar, WHO (Dünya Sağlık Örgütü) tarafından sebzeler için elementlerin parametrik değerleri ile karşılaştırıldı. Araştırmalar sonucunda bölgedeki tüketim miktarları dikkate alınarak sağlık açısından risk analizi yapıldı. Hedef Tehlike Katsayısı (THQ) maruziyet değerleri, 1'den küçük olduğu için önemli bir kanserojen etki riski olmadığını göstermektedir.

HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT OF LEAD AND CADMIUM CONTAMINATION IN TOMATO SAMPLES

Abstract

Vegetables are a major agricultural product that is a vital component of the human diet. The presence of toxic elements in widely consumed tomato is a matter of great concern due to possible negative health effects. In this study monitors the lead and cadmium composition of tomato in bazaar Antalya and discusses the compositional parameters. Element concentrations in the samples were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS). Method validation; It was applied to evaluate the linearity, recovery, detection limit and quantification limit. ERM-BC084 Tomato Paste was used as certified reference material for method validation. The results were compared with the parametric values of the elements for vegetables by the WHO (World Health Organization). As a consequence of these investigations, a health risk analysis was carried out by taking into account the amount of consumption in the region. The Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) values less than 1 show that there is no major risk of carcinogenic effects to those exposed.
