Abstract

This research aimed to determine the concentration levels of three toxic metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic) in fresh fish. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to determine lead, cadmium, and total arsenic. Liquid chromatography coupled with ICP-MS was used for arsenic speciation. Limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) were: 0.073 and 0.22 /L for As, 0.05 and 0.16 /L for Cd, 0.09 and 0.27 /L. The recoveries were as follows: 89.12% for As, 92.13% for Cd, and 97.21% for Pb. Intra-assay precision levels were between 1.53 and 3.18%. Inter-assay precision levels were between 2.43 and 4.91%. The toxic metal concentration in the muscle of fish ranged from 2.22 ± 0.16 /kg for As, 1.38 ± 0.21 to 3.59 ± 0.19 /kg for Cd, 16.25 ± 1.09 to 16.25 ± 1.09 /kg for Pb. The toxic metal concentrations in fish muscle were lower than the permitted level set by the Ministry of Health Vietnam and Food and Drug agent.
