This study investigated the levels of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, Fe, and Cu) in meat, poultry, and game products from Noakhali, Bangladesh, and their potential health effects. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry was used to analyze the metals, and health risk assessments were based on Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Targeted Hazard Quotient (THQ), Total THQ, and Total Carcinogenic Risk (TCR). Most samples exceeded Maximum Allowable Concentrations (MAC) for heavy metals. The EDI values for Cd, Pb, and Cr in duck liver, goat liver, and pigeon brain were higher than the Maximum Tolerable Dietary Intake (MTDI). Children had 1.28 times higher HI values than adults. The THQ values for adults and children were in the order of Cu; Pb; Ni; Cr; Cd; and Fe. The TTHQ values ranged from 0.051 to 1.988 for adults and 0.047 to 3.975 for children. TCR values for Cd in various tissues were higher than reference values, indicating potential cancer risk. Lead exposure was linked to increased blood pressure and decreased IQ scores. The study highlights the need to assess the relationship between heavy metal exposure and food supply in the region. Heavy metal contamination in meat and poultry in Bangladesh is a major concern, primarily due to feed and environmental sources. The study found that heavy metals in meat and poultry products exceeded permissible limits, posing health risks, particularly for children. The study also identified strong correlations between heavy metals, suggesting common sources. The results indicate that children are more susceptible to health risks from heavy metal exposure. The study recommends monitoring heavy metal contamination in food to enforce regulatory limits and assess long-term exposure risks.This study investigated the levels of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, Fe, and Cu) in meat, poultry, and game products from Noakhali, Bangladesh, and their potential health effects.
