Trace metal levels in edible mushrooms from the Šalek and the Upper Meža Valleys
with emphasis on assessment of potential human health risk due to mushroom
consumption |
Secondary abstract: |
Cd, Pb, Hg, and As levels were measured in fruiting bodies of edible mushroom species collected in the vicinity of abandoned smelter (Upper
Meža Valley) and the biggest thermal power plant in Slovenia (Šalek Valley). The survey was performed with the aim to compare research areas
with other European studies and to assess the potential human risk due to mushroom consumption. Provided results revealed that consumption
of fruiting bodies can pose a health risk to humans. Agaricus arvensis, Agaricus silvicola, Boletus reticulatus and Laccaria amethystina
originating from the Šalek Valley, and Boletus edulis, Lycoperdon perlatum, Leccinum versipelle, Armillaria mellea and Macrolepiota procera
originating from the Upper Meža Valley should not be consumed at all. Furthermore, several of the analysed fungal species should be consumed
with caution. Cadmium has been probably the most detrimental (problematic) metal in both areas, since Cd levels in fruiting bodies of most
fungal species determined maximum acceptable biomass of mushrooms, considering the WHO/FAO directives setting the permitted weekly
intake of metals in human body. The monitoring programme of the most problematic metals in fruiting bodies should be established in degraded
areas (e.g., Jesenice and Celje basin) and traditional fungi picking areas (Pokljuka and Smrekovec). |

Obremenjenost trosnjakov užitnih vrst gliv iz Šaleške in Zgornje Mežiške doline
z izbranimi kovinami (Cd, Hg, Pb, As), s poudarkom na oceni tveganja za
prehranjevanje ljudi |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Vsebnosti Cd, Pb, Hg in As smo izmerili v trosnjakih različnih vrst gliv iz okolice nekdanje topilnice svinca (Zgornja Mežiška dolina) in
največjega termoenergetskega objekta v Sloveniji (Šaleška dolina) z namenom, da napravimo primerjavo med obema območjema ter drugimi
evropskimi raziskavami in ocenimo tveganje za zdravje ljudi zaradi prehranjevanja s trosnjaki užitnih vrst gliv. V Šaleški dolini odsvetujemo
uživanje poljskega in hostnega kukmaka, poletnega gobana ter vijoličaste bledivke, v Zgornji Mežiški dolini pa jesenskega gobana, betičaste
prašnice, brezovega turka, sivorumene mraznice in orjaškega dežnika. Za nekatere vrste gliv predlagamo omejitve pri njihovem uživanju. Med analiziranimi kovinami je Cd najbolj problematičen v obeh raziskovalnih območij, saj ravno vsebnost Cd največkrat zmanjšuje dopustno količino zaužitih trosnjakov gliv. Zaradi prepoznanega tveganja za zdravlje ljudi predlagamo vzpostavitev biomonitoringa v degradiranih
območjih v Sloveniji, kjer podobnih raziskav še ni bilo (Jesenice, Celjska kotlina), in v tradicionalno nabiralniških območjih (Pokljuka,
Smrekovec). |
