Abstract
Heavy Metal Contamination in Seafood reviews the occurrence, transport, chemical speciation and bioaccumulation of metals and metalloids in marine food systems. It presents the toxicological basis and regulatory criteria used to interpret contamination measurements, followed by practical procedures for seafood sampling, sample digestion, instrumental analysis and quality assurance. The book details methods for calculating dietary exposure, non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk indices, environmental contamination indices and sediment quality benchmarks, supported by worked examples. Statistical methods and regional case studies are also addressed. Intended for graduate students, researchers and laboratory professionals, the volume provides a structured reference for designing, conducting and interpreting seafood contamination assessments.
