Survey of Lead Concentration in Tiger Prawn (Penaeus Monodon) in the Seafood Market of Mumbai and Palghar Districts of Maharashtra
Abstract
Lead (Pb) is one of the major heavy metal pollutants found in water bodies. Lead gets accumulated in various floral and faunal species present in the water bodies which further enters the human food chain through the consumption of aquatic species from such water bodies. This may lead to lead (Pb) toxicity. Seafood from polluted water bodies is especially a matter of great concern. World Health Organisation (WHO) has given standard limits of metal concentration in the marine fauna and human body which act as guidelines for metal analysis. In this study, we investigated the concentration of Lead in Tiger Prawns (Penaeus monodon) collected from Mumbai and Palghar districts of Maharashtra, India, and compared the results with safe limits given by the WHO. The analysis was done using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optically Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP-OES) technique. According to the results, Lead (Pb) concentrations in the samples from Madh and Palghar area significantly exceed the permissible limit for both humans and aquatic life.
