Estimation of target hazard quotients for metals by consumption of fish in the North Coast of the Persian Gulf, Iran

Journal of Advances in Environmental Health Research, 2014
In the residential area of the North Coast of the Persian Gulf, consumption of fish is a possible source of exposure to heavy metals and other pollutants, all of which may act as potential risk factors for serious syndromes and fatal diseases. Health risks associated with Pb, Cd, and Hg were assessed based on the target hazard quotients (THQ), which ...
