Honghu Lake is the seventh largest freshwater lake in China, and fishery is one of the most important economic sources for local inhabitants. Toxic metal concentrations in muscle of all analyzed fish species captured from Honghu Lake were generally below China standards, except Cr in crucian carp. The average concentrations were decreased in the following order, Zn (14.65 mg/kg) > Cr (1.25 mg/k...

background: this study purposed to assess the health risks of heavy metals including nickel (ni), chromium (cr), mercury (hg), and lead (pb) in three widely-consumed fish from the coast of bandar abbas (persian gulf) and to determine the maximum amounts allowed for consumption according to the degree of contamination. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted in the summer and fall of 2...

The objectives of the present study were to investigate heavy metal accumulation in 22 vegetable species and to assess the human health risks of vegetable consumption. Six vegetable types were cultivated on farmland contaminated with heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, and As). The target hazard quotient (THQ) method was used to assess the human health risks posed by heavy metals through vegetable co...

Date fruits (Phoenix-dactylifera) consumption has significant human health benefits due to the presence of minerals and other constituents. The may be contaminated during transportation possibly storage. This research aimed at exploring mineral contents risk associated with intake date sold in Dutse, Jigawa State-Nigeria. fruit sample was obtained from market scientifically identified. shade dr...

The elemental pollution in the intertidal zone of West Coast Peninsular Malaysia is concern because this place an ultimate sink anthropogenic contaminants. In study, concentrations (Al, Fe, Ba, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, As, and Cd) various tissues (muscle, gill, liver, gastrointestinal tract, scale) giant mudskippers ( Periophthalmodon schlosseri ) from were determined by inductively coupled ...

BACKGROUND Metal ions such as iron and copper are among the key nutrients that must be provided by dietary sources. Numerous foodstuffs have been evaluated for their contributions to the recommended daily allowance both to guide for satisfactory intake and also to prevent over exposure. In the case of heavy metal ions, the focus is often on exposure to potentially toxic levels of ions such as l...

Introduction: In recent years, the contamination of food with heavy metals has received much attention. Plants can absorb metal pollutants through contaminated water, soil, and air. Materials and Methods: In the current study, accumulation of minerals in three types of soybeans was investigated by wet and dry digestion methods using ICP-OES technique. Thereafter, the metals' health risk was as...

Abstract In this study, nitrate and nitrite contents were determined of a total (308) samples 15 different types vegetable such as leek, swiss chard, celery, spinach, garden cress, green onion, turnip, radish, aubergine, squash, tomato, pepper, cucumber, mint, tarragon. They taken from fields located in Sulaymaniyah province: city (Tanjarro Kanaswra), Bazyan (Baynjan), Halabja (Said Sadiq), Kal...
