Abstract:
The presence of heavy metal in the environmental can give a harmful to human body.
The study on the presence of heavy metal in the food chain and the effect of the metal
to the organs had been done. This study was conducted to determine the effects of
cadmium contaminated cooked fish to liver and kidney and to correlate the level of
cadmium contamination in cook fish tissue and white rats by ICPMS (Inductively
Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry). The aim of study was to determine the effects
of uptake cadmium by human through cook foods. Nile tilapia was exposed with three
different concentrations of cadmium, 1.172 ppm, 2.344 ppm and 4.688 ppm for four
days. Fourty-five of white rats were divided into five groups. Group A have set as
control untreated group, group B as control treated with control fish and group C,D
and E was treated with fish that have contaminated with 1.172 ppm,2.344 ppm and
4.688 ppm cadmium.
