Concentrations of heavy metals, namely, cadmium, copper, zinc, lead, and chromium were measured in the muscle tissue of Scomberoides commersonnianus and Cynoglossus arel from the northern waters of the Oman Sea. Human health risk assessment for Iranian child and adult consumers were also evaluated. The mean concentration of zinc and copper were lower than international standards of maximum permissible limits (MPL). The estimated daily and weekly intakes (EDI and EWI) of all metals were lower than permissible tolerable daily intake (PTDI). The permissible frequency of fish consumption (CRmm) of S. commersonnianus and C. arel showed that they are safe for both children and adults even at a high meal frequency (>16 meals/month). Target hazard quotient (THQ) and risk index (HI) values were higher than 1 for Cu in adults, Cu and Zn in children with consumption rate of 7 times per week. Therefore, consumption of these spices of Oman Sea more than 7 times per week can threaten the health of consumers.
