Heavy metals pollution of the environment is a serious concern because hazardous effects they pose to human health, ecosystems and other biological receptors. The aim this study was assess ecological risk exposure heavy physicochemical parameters around Otamiri Imo rivers in Etche Oyibo Local Government Areas Rivers State. Water, sediment, arrow head plant (Sagittaria latifolia) christmas bush ...

Heavy metal accumulation in aquatic organisms has been an important issue due to environmental pollution resulting from anthropogenic activities. In this study, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn in the selected fish species (Mullus barbatus, Solea solea, and Siganus rivulatus) from three consecutive bays (İskenderun, Mersin, and Antalya from North-Eastern Mediterranean Sea) were considered to provide some...

The present study investigated the total elemental composition (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Al, S, B, Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, S) in smooth scallop (Flexopecten glaber) meat collected monthly Çardak Lagoon (Turkey) 2017- 2018. Considering distribution of elements terms quantity during year, were sorted as S> Na> K> P> Mg> Ca> Fe> Zn> Mn> Al> B> Cu> Se and heavy metals below det...

Background and Purpose: Soft drinks are commonly consumed globally. Due to high demand, regulatory protocols may be breached thereby leading contamination with heavy metals. In this study, we determined the content of five metals in some Nigerian soft estimated their potential health risks.
 Methods: Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was used determine concentrations magnesium, aluminum...

background: tea is the most popular nonalcoholic beverage worldwide. in recent years, some iranian studies have shown the occurrence of toxic elements in fresh or dried tealeaves as well as in brewed tea. the present study aimed to ascertain the health risks associated with exposure to toxic and essential element through black tea consumption in iran by systematically reviewing the accredited a...

Rapid industrialization along with advanced agricultural activities led to the contamination in aquatic environment with heavy metals. Heavy metals ultimately pass into human body through having aquatic animals like fish, prawn and crab. In this study, accumulation of heavy metals (zinc, copper, iron, cadmium and lead) in various organs of four commonly consumed fish (Euthynnus affinis...

Aims: Man-made activities such as excessive oil exploration, automobile emissions, gas flaring and agricultural tend to elevate the concentrations of heavy metals in surrounding. Heavy have tendency accumulate plant roots, which may result metal contamination.
 Objectives: This study aimed at evaluating concentration Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel Zinc (Zn) Pawpaw fruits, seeds, leaf Scen...

Background: Metal pollution is a problem in many parts of the world. These metals can be harmful when they exceed the recommended limits. By analyzing metal concentrations in living organisms, it is possible to deduce the bioavailability and the level of environmental contamination for specific metals in an ecosystem. The aim of this study was to determine the heavy metals copper, cadmium, lead...
