The preservation and consumption of food of animal origin requires pickling, smoking or cooking techniques. In Côte d'Ivoire, particularly in Abidjan, in the communes of Abobo and Port-Bouět, the stripping of beef hides with fuels such as used tires, rubber debris and rubberwood is a widespread practice. The "kplo" or treated and smoked beef skin is highly prized. The same is true for the "choukouya", beef, sheep or goat meat cooked in artisanal metal ovens fuelled mainly with rubberwood in the communes of Port-Bouět and Yopougon. These practices generate fumes containing entities that are toxic to human food, including trace metal elements (TMEs), which are carcinogenic or mutagenic. The objective of this study is to assess the risks associated with the consumption of meat and offal (skins) contaminated with TMEs. A dietary frequency-based survey was conducted. Sixty (60) skin samples and 120 meat samples were taken. Analysis was performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results show that rubber wood and used tires are the most commonly used fuels. Among the metals investigated, lead had a daily exposure (6.52 µg/kg bw/d) above its ADI (3.5 µg/kg bw/d). The hazard ratio of 1.86 greater than 1 for lead indicates the occurrence of threshold adverse effects. ERIs greater than 10-5 indicate the occurrence of carcinogenic or mutagenic effects.
