Abstract: To evaluate the levels of heavy metal pollution and risks in consumption of aquatic products from a market in Binzhou, the contents of Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr and Pb in the edible part of eight aquatic species such as Ctenopharyngodon idellus were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results show that the levels of the five elements differed among different species of aquatic products. The ability of bivalves to accumulate heavy metals was significantly higher than that of fish. Compared with relevant food hygiene standards, there was a certain excess of Cr in Ruditapes philippinarum and Penaeus vannamei. The results of human exposure risk assessment show that the THQ values of the heavy metals in the eight aquatic species were all less than 1, indicating that the consumption of these aquatic products had no potential non-carcinogenic risks.
