TI  - Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in soft tissue of oyster (Saccostrea 
      cucullata) collected from the Lengeh Port coast, Persian Gulf, Iran: a comparison 
      with the permissible limits for public health.

AB  - This study examines concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in the soft tissue of 
      Saccostrea cucullata in the intertidal zones of Lengeh Port, Persian Gulf, Iran, 
      to survey whether heavy metals are within the acceptable limits for public 
      health? The results revealed that the average metal concentrations (mug/g dry 
      weight) ranged from 10.28 to 12.03 for Cd, 294.10 to 345.80 for Cu, 20.64 to 
      58.23 for Pb and 735.60 to 760.40 for Zn in the soft tissue of oysters. From the 
      human public health point of view, comparison between the mean concentrations of 
      the metals in the soft tissue of oyster and global guidelines clearly indicates 
      that nearly in all cases concentrations are higher than the permissible amounts 
      for human consumption. In addition, levels of Zn, Pb and Cu were well below their 
      recommended oral maximum residue level (MRLs), whereas levels of Cd were observed 
      two times higher.
