Human health risk assessment from heavy metals in three dominant fish species of the Ankobra river, Ghana
This study assessed heavy metal contamination of fish and its associated health risk to
communities around the Ankobra River in the Western Region of Ghana. Species of fish
randomly collected from different sections of the river were analyzed for Cd, Ni, Zn, Pb, Mn,
Hg, As, Co and Cr using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Three commonly consumed
fish species, Clarias gariepinus, Sarotherodon melanotheron and Pseudotolithus
senegalensis, were analyzed. The health risks were assessed based on the potential non …
