Title

Comparison of Pb and As contamination of road side fish and commercially sold fish.

Abstract

This dissertation aims to compare the levels of lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) contamination in fish samples obtained from roadside vendors and commercially sold fish. The study will investigate the potential health risks associated with consuming fish contaminated with these heavy metals, as well as explore the factors contributing to their presence in different fish sources. The research will involve collecting samples from various locations, analysing them using advanced laboratory techniques, and interpreting the results to draw meaningful conclusions. The findings of the study will provide valuable insights into the safety of consuming fish from different sources and help formulate strategies for minimizing heavy metal contamination.
