Human Health Risk Assessments of Trace Metals on the Clam <i>Corbicula javanica</i> in a Tropical River in Peninsular Malaysia
This study aimed to analyse ten trace metal concentrations in the edible part of the freshwater clam <i>Corbicula javanica</i> and to provide a critical assessment of the potential risks to human health through consumption of this clam as food based on well-established indices and food s...
