| Özet |
| This study analyzed the concentrations of toxic (Cr, Co, Cu, etc.) and radiotoxic (U, Th) heavy metals (HMs) in 40 commercial cereal samples consumed in Türkiye by using an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Health risks caused by ingestion of cereal samples were assessed using the hazard index (HI), annual effective dose (EEff), and the excess lifetime cancer risk (LCR) models. The average concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) of HMs analyzed in the samples were 2.7 (Cr), 6.4 (Co), 7.9 (Cu), 49.8 (Fe), 49.4 (Mn), 7.6 (Ni), 40.4 (Zn), 1.0 (U), and 1.4 (Th). Wheat and maize showed HI > 1, indicating potential concern for consumers. The total annual effective dose exceeded global averages primarily due to Th in cereal samples. Findings highlight the need for monitoring and consumer guidance. |
