Industrial contamination impact on food chain in correlation to poultry eggs

Environmental problems related to pollution of soil, food and water have been increased with industrialization. The anthropogenic source of toxic elements in the environment are either as a consequence of mining, smelting and aerosol deposition, or as an outcome of working on the soil such as the application of fertilizer (agriculturally induced), waste pollution via water and landfill sites. Mining is the largest anthropogenic source of toxic elements contamination. The purpose of this paper is to assess the toxic elements (As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Ni,Pb and Zn) concentration in the soil and eggs which directly affect human health in Mitrovica town’s surroundings and to determine its impact and average daily intake dose (ADD) through the food chain, consuming home produced poultry eggs in three different locations in coherence with the impact of the industrial tailings and dumps. Eggs sample were collected from three different poultry farms, and three soil samples from same place in Mitrovica region-Kosovo. The concentration of toxic elements (As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Ni,Pb,Zn) were analysed by using ICP-OES. Results indicated that on whole egg basis the As,Cr,Ni,Pb and Zn content showed 2-3 fold increases than the permissible daily intake level. However the Cu was within consumable limit while Cd was undetectable. Results obtained can be used as primary tool to further ensure egg quality control and also can work as dataset for the close monitoring of food contamination by local governments and environmentalist.
