Abstract

The aim of the study is to assess the non-carcinogenic risk of heavy metals (Cd, Cu) through fish consumption by the population of Yerevan. The method of K-means cluster analyses has been applied. The amount of the average daily intake of cadmium and copper detected in the fish samples of Sevan Trout, Sterlet and Sazan didn᾿t exceed the standards of International Health Regulation (IHR). Non-carcinogenic risks related to their effect haven’t been recorded. The results of cluster analyses can serve as a base for conducting general dietary investigations.
