Abstract:

 Contamination of fish with heavy metals had gained a particular interest because of the potential risk to humans who consume them. The edible muscles of twenty three of different samples of fish canned, frozen and fresh fish were taken and analyzed by (atomic Spectroscopy). Twenty three samples of fish, canned, frozen and fresh collected from several Markets in Iraq were analyzed for heavy metals. The concentrations of heavy metals Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, and Fe, varied between 0.005- 0.066, 0.001-0.047, 0.004- 0.045, 0.0009- 0.03, 0.007-1.881ppm. respectively. In all samples, the concentrations of Cd and Pb exceeded the maximum allowable level.

 حظي تلوث الأسماك بالمعادن الثقيلة باهتمام خاص بسبب المخاطر المحتملة على البشر الذين يستهلكون الأسماك الملوثة.
في هذه الدراسة، تم تحليل المعادن الثقيلة للعضلات الصالحة للأكل لثلاثة وعشرين عينة من الأسماك المعلبة والمجمدة والطازجة التي جمعت من الاسواق في العراق، باستخدام (المطياف الذري) ، وقد كانت تراكيز العناصر الثقيلة Cr ، Cd، Pb، Ni، و Fe يتراوح بين 0.005- 0.066، 0.001-0.047، 0.004- 0.045، 0.0009- 0.03، 0.007-1.881 جزءا بالمليون ،على التوالي، وان تركيز Cd، Pb تجاوز الحد الأقصى للمستوى المسموح به.
