Magnetic properties and its application in the prediction of potentially toxic elements in aquatic products by machine learning.

Magnetic measurement was provided to substitute for time-consuming conventional methods for determination of potentially toxic elements. Both the concentrations of 12 elements and 9 magnetic parameters were determined in 700 muscle tissue samples from the snail Bellamya aeruginosa, shrimp species Exopalaemon modestus and Macrobrachium nipponense, and fish species Hemisalanx prognathous Regan, Coilia ectenes taihuensis, and Culer alburnus Basilewsky collected from Chaohu Lake during different hydrological periods. Spherical and irregular iron oxide particles were observed in the muscle tissues of the studied aquatic products. A field survey of the exposure parameters in humans, such as per capita intake dose of local aquatic products, found no evidence that consumption of the tested species poses a potential health risk. Redundancy analysis revealed different degrees of correlation between the magnetic parameters and concentrations of elements in aquatic products. Back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) models were...
