Abstract:
The study aimed to assess the contents of potentially toxic elements (Cu, Mo, Pb, As) in honey and associated health risks in Armenia. To assess dietary exposure and characterize potential health risks, the estimated daily intake (EDI) and margin of exposure (MOE) of these elements were calculated. The assessment was carried out considering honey consumption patterns among the Armenian adult population. The outcomes of the health risk assessment reveal that the EDI of the investigated elements were notably lower in comparison to the health-based guidance values. Overall, the study findings suggest that the levels of potentially toxic elements in Armenian honey are within acceptable limits, and there are no health risks to consumers. However, future research could expand to include a larger number and variety of honey samples, as well as additional elements.
