Risk assessment of heavy metals via‌ Consumption of House Spparow by Dezful natives

Exposure to heavy metals through the consumption of birds may lead to health hazards for individuals, especially in areas where there are agricultural and industrial activities. Therefore, the present study has conducted to risk assessment of iron, zinc, copper, manganese and lead in the muscle tissue of domestic sparrow (passer domesticus) in urban and rural areas of Dezful. The present study was a research study. For this research, 60 house sparrows from urban areas and 10 sparrows from rural areas were collected from Dezful city. Finally, the concentrations of iron, zinc, copper, manganese and lead metals were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy and acid digestion. Daily and weekly intake of iron, copper, zinc, manganese and lead via­ consumption of House spparow was less than the standard recommended by the Joint Committee of the World Health Organization and the FAO. The THQ of each metal in this study was less than one, which indicates the absence of any food hazard due to the consumption of the studied species at the current rate. In the rural areas, the THQ values for Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Pb were 0.0154, 0.0004, 0.003, 0.0001, and 0.000065, respectively, and in the urban areas, THQ valus were 0.01, 0.00069, 0.004, 0.0003, and 0.000046, According to the results, it seems that the consumption of house sparrows in the present time does not pose health risks to the health of its consumers.
