Shellfish constitute an important component of human diet, especially for those living in coastal regions. Shellfish have attracted extensive attention due to high enrichment of heavy metals. The aims of this study were to investigate the levels of trace elements in shellfish from coastal waters of Shenzhen, China and to assess human intake risks. Nine elements, including chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) were measured in 216 shellfish samples from eight species. Their concentrations (based on wet weight) were: Cr (0.28–21.4 mg kg⁻¹), Cu (1.40–158 mg kg⁻¹), Fe (16.5–5387 mg kg⁻¹), Zn (11.1–847 mg kg⁻¹), Mn (1.33–422 mg kg⁻¹), Se (0.15–11.8 mg kg⁻¹), Cd (0.02–18.4 mg kg⁻¹), Pb (<LOQ-10.9 mg kg⁻¹) and As (2.24–95.5 mg kg⁻¹), relatively greater than those reported in shellfish from other locations of China. Crassostrea ariakensis and Babylonia areolata were found to enrich As and Cd, respectively. The target hazard quotient (THQ) values of Cd and As were more than 1, suggesting considerable health risks from the consumption of shellfish of this zone. To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the human risk exposure to trace elements via shellfish consumption in South China.

The purposes of this study were to measure the concentrations of arsenic speciation in shellfish from South China Sea and evaluate the health risk by local residents through shellfish consumption. The median concentrations (in wet weight) of arsenic speciation in shellfish samples were in the following order: AsB (16.0 mg·kg⁻¹) > DMA (1.30 mg·kg⁻¹) > AsV (0.23 mg·kg⁻¹) > AsC (0.08 mg·kg⁻¹) > AsIII (0.05 mg·kg⁻¹) > MMA (0.01 mg·kg⁻¹). Among shellfish species, Mactra mera and Babylonia areolata were found to accumulate iAs and AsB, respectively. The target hazard quotient values of iAs (THQᵢAₛ) in all shellfish samples were lower than 1. However, the carcinogenic risk values of iAs (CRᵢAₛ) in the Mactra mera, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Pinctada margaritifera were beyond the acceptable range, implying that continuous exposure to iAs pollution via the consumption of these shellfish would pose a potential cancer risk to local consumers.

Despite the benefits of shellfish consumption, the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in shellfish can endanger consumer’s health. The consumption of seafood in Shenzhen (a fast-developing metropolis in China) has received more and more attention. Arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in ten common shellfish species and associated health risks were analyzed for Shenzhen’s consumers by evaluating estimated weekly intake (EWI), non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks to children, adolescents, and adults. In this study, 50 shellfish samples were collected in total. The results showed that the levels of inorganic arsenic (iAs) in Babylonia areolata exceeded the maximum permissible limit set by the food safety guidelines (0.5 mg/kg), while other elements were below the limit in the present guidelines (Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China, GB 2762-2012). EWI values of children, adolescents, and adults were all lower than provisional tolerable weekly intakes (PTWIs) of all shellfish species. The analysis of total target hazard quotients (TTHQ) showed that the ingested B. areolata in children, adolescents, and adults were all at non-carcinogenic risks; the consumption of Argopecten irradians and Chlamys farreri would pose non-carcinogenic risks for children only. In all age groups, the consumption of A. irradians, B. areolata, C. farreri, and Crassostrea ariakensis would lead to lifetime cancer risk due to Cd bioaccumulation, with toxicity of Pb and iAs to be acceptable and negligible.
