Abstract:
13 trace elements in 5 kinds of sea dragon samples including microphis boaja, trachyrhamphus serratus, syngnathus acus linnaeus, syngnathoides biaculatus and solenognathhs hardwickii,were determined by using microwave digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Principal component elements were analyzed in 5 kinds of sea dragon by using SPSS11.5. A new risk assessment method was developed by comparing calculated values of EWI with their PTWI. The result showed that Ni, Se, As, Cd, Cs, Co, Sr, Ba were principal component elements in Sea Dragon. Besides, there were a large number of essential trace elements in 5 kinds of sea dragon (Sr 88.216~353.04 μg/g, Zn 21.85~40.75 μg/g, Se 1.71~2.46 μg/g). In addition, the determination of toxic elements such as Pb, Cd, Cr illustrated that their values partially beyond limited values. Besides, syngnathus acus Linnaeus was the best choice by the principal component comprehensive evaluation. It can be concluded that the Se and Cd values of EWI were lower than that of PTWI in 5 kinds of sea dragon
