In his article entitled “Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Fish from Laguna de Bay: An Assessment of Health Risks from Heavy Metals Bio-accumulation in Fish,” Molina said “fish samples of bangus, bighead carp, dalag, kanduli, and tilapia collected during the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic, and chromium. | en |
