The results of a recent Canadian st

The results of a recent Canadian study reported an ave. total mercury concentration of 0.260 ppm (range 0.193– 0.384 ppm) in 16 samples of canned albacore tuna (Dabeka et al., 2004). The tuna cans were purchased at various retails stores in Halifax, Toronto, and Vancouver, Canada, and the origin was unknown. In another study, total mercury levels were determined for 168 cans of white and light tuna purchased between 1998 and 2003 from a retail store in New Jersey (Burger & Gochfeld, 2004). The authors reported no significant difference between oil- and waterpacked samples, and they reported the ave. total mercury concentration for canned albacore to be 0.407 ppm, almost double that reported in the present study.

Hasil sebuah penelitian di Kanada baru-baru ini melaporkan ave. Konsentrasi merkuri total 0,260 ppm (rentang 0.193- 0,384 ppm) di 16 sampel dari kaleng tuna albacore (Dabeka et al., 2004). Kaleng tuna yang dibeli di berbagai toko ritel di Halifax, Toronto, dan Vancouver, Kanada, dan asal tidak diketahui.

Para penulis melaporkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara sampel minyak dan waterpacked, dan mereka melaporkan ave tersebut. total konsentrasi merkuri untuk albacore kalengan menjadi 0,407 ppm, hampir dua kali lipat dilaporkan dalam penelitian ini.
