Currently, I am working on aquatic toxicology, particularly heavy metals. Therefore I want to know the latest maximum permissible limits of these heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) in food fish. The limits which I have are very old (FAO/WHO 1983/1989).
I hope the link below will help you.

Dear, this link shows in drinking water. I want the limits for food items.
In EU there are not maximum limits set for these elements in fish. Only mercury, cadmium and lead have ML, however European Food Safety Authority (efsa) set TWI , recomended total weekly intake or TDI , total daily intake. Latest efsa scientific opinion on chromium Is really recent(2013) maybe a look at EFSA website could be helpful.
Best regards
Stefania

hello, excuse me I have a problem about What is the latest FAO/WHO permissible limits for these metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) in vegetables? I don't understand standard heavy metals in leafy vegetables for the base on dry weight or fresh weight because of some of the articles was report pb =mg/kg dry weight in vegetables thank you
I think you can check this reference: WHO/FAO, Codex Alimentarius Commision. Food Additives and Contaminants. Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme, ALINORM 01/12A: 1- 289, 2001.
Also WHO, Guidelines for Drinking –Water Quality. Vol 2: Health Criteria and Other Supporting Information. 2nd Edition, World health Organization, Geneva, 1996.
