Analyses of varfous tfssues fn four
Egyptfan edfble marfne specfes of Mollusca
revealed hfgh metal concentrations fn gflls
although elevated concentratfons were noted
fn edfble soft tfssues. On. the basis of
NHHRC recOlllllended standards for _tals fn
MOlluscs the levels of Pb and Cd fn the
. edfble tfssues are hf9h enough to cause
a publfc health problem.
