Abstract:
The concentration of the heavy element Chromium in cheese samples was investigated using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. 72 random samples from six country groups (Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Turkey, Hungary, and Saudi Arabia) available in Iraqi markets were collected. Cr concentration rates in cheese samples were discovered. The non- carcinogenic risk parameters for health from the accumulation of Cr, such as daily Cr metal intake (
), the Cr target hazard quotient (
), and the Cr carcinogenic risk (
) were revealed. The highest average Cr metal level in the samples was found in Saudi Arabia cheese, while the lowest was in Iraqi once. The descending Cr order of the countries was Saudi Arabia> Hungary> Egypt> Iran> Turkey> Iraq, according to the T-test confirmation. The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risk parameters values were less than the permissible and risk values. Eventually, the health risk parameters revealed that there are no pose risks from those cheeses to Iraqi consumers.
