| Abstract | ||
| This study assessed the risk assessment of heavy metals in fast food. The amounts of chromium, iron, lead, copper, and nickel in 60 fast food sample that were purchased in 2023 from eateries in the EL-Beheira Governorate of Egypt were examined for their carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic dangers. Only average concentrations of Fe, Cu, and Ni (apart from grilled fish and kebeda) were found to be within allowable bounds by the findings. Ni, Cu, Pb, and Fe Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) of heavy metals for the two groups within allowable limits. The target hazard quotients with the highest values were 3.93 for the adult group and 0.64 for the kid group. For the majority of the metals under consideration in both groups, the cumulative hazard index was higher than 1. In light of this, it may be said that the aforementioned foods are the main human dietary source of heavy metals, and that authorities and oversight bodies ought to keep a careful eye on and regulate their intake. | ||
