As population activity is increasing and the Kapuas river still a means of transportation, causing Corbicula largillierti to accumulate heavy metals (Pb) Coliform bacteria in their bodies. This makes it dangerous be consumed by humans. Thus, this research has two main aims. First, find out concentration Pb inside that lives at river, Pontianak river’s water. Second, analyze health risk consumin...

Aflatoxin contamination of staple grains and legumes has been linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) other adverse health outcomes, constituting a substantial public concern globally. Low-resource food environments in sub-Saharan Africa are often under-regulated particularly vulnerable nutrition outcomes associated with aflatoxin exposure. This study identifies levels HCC risk the northern Ni...

The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of selected metal concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cr and Fe) in the muscles of five fish species (Sander lucioperca, Liza auratus, Alosa caspia, Cyprinus carpio and Liza saliens) from Gorgan Bay the south-eastern Caspian Sea, in order to assess health risk to the human via fish consumption by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotome...

The present investigation aimed to study the utilisation of combined dairy manure-food waste digestate as a substrate (experimental mushroom substrate—EMS) for Pleurotus djamor (strain 2708, Mycelia) cultivation. Considering lack scientific information about influence elements concentration in growing substrates on bioaccumulation cultivated mushrooms and their residual concentrations left afte...

Hazardous substances, such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) also have been detected in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and industrial waste incinerators in Korea. In this study, we estimated the exposure status of these hazardous substances and their heath effects in workers and residents near the MSW incinerators and residents near the industri...

Persistent organic polluting pesticides that have been used extensively historically can still be detected in agricultural products and cause health risks. In this study, banned organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residue levels 23 garlic samples produced the fields of different villages located potentially polluted area center Kastamonu were determined by GC/MS method combined with QuEChERS extract...

Trace metal contamination is a global health issue. This study evaluated boxed and loose-leaf tea from Bangladesh using Handheld X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer for lead other metals to rapidly screen as potential hot spot of heavy exposure. Of the 33 elements measured, several priority pollutants were below limit detection (LOD) in all samples, including (LOD 2.17 mg/kg) arsenic 1.68 mg/kg)....

The aim of the current research was to evaluate heavy metals contamination in Kurdish rice from main rice-producing areas Kurdistan and its health risk assessment. samples were collected different locations concentration measured by using Inductively Coupled Plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) also calculated potential assessment for local population thr...
