This laboratory analyzed a total of 32 samples of crabs by atomic absorption spectroscopy graphite stove dividing the crustaceans in the following tissues: bright parts contained in claws, dark parts contained in the shell and red parts contained in the shell. The results showed that gastrointestinal shellfish tissues is at greatest risk, while the bright parts contained in claws are always below the limit set by European legislation (Reg. 1881/2006 and following). Furthermore it is clear that the crustaceans caught in the northern Adriatic present values of cadmium significantly lower compared to shellfish from France and UK.}, number={1zero}, journal={Italian Journal of Food Safety}, author={D’Antonio, M. and Menotta, S. and Padovani, A. and Petrozziello, D. and Esposito, S. and Fedrizzi, G.}, year={2011}, month={Jan.}, pages={285–286} }
