The excessive amounts of cadmium and lead in food chain can cause health problems for humans and ecosystem. Rice is an important food in human diet. Therefore this study was conducted in order to investigate cadmium and Lead concentrations in seed rice (Oryza saliva) of paddy fields in southwest of Iran. A total of 70 rice seed samples were collected from paddy fields in five regions of Khuzest...

Antibiotics are compounds that used to inhibit the growth of disease or commonly referred as drugs. Some examples antibiotics most in shrimp culture tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and chloramphenicol. In farming, function prevention a cure for disease. But if application is not under dose, it will cause residues on harm human health consumed. The purpose this study was determine antibiotic cont...

The use of biostimulants has gained popularity in recent years as a sustainable approach to increase the yield and quality horticultural crops. However, information is missing concerning their ability enhance concentration some beneficial elements (macro- microelements) edible tissues plants, which, turn, are useful for human health. For this reason, we investigated effects different microbial ...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical found in wide range of consumer products and consumables that humans are exposed to. The aim this study was to determine BPA contamination levels 51 milk samples sold the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, Brazil. detected (≥limit detection, LOD) five analyzed (9.8%) quantified quantification, LOQ) two (3.8%). estimated daily intake (EDI) for children ...

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...

Concentrations of five heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, As and Hg) in eight highly consumed cultured fish species (Labeo rohita, Clarias gariepinus, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Cyprinus capio, Puntius sarana, Oreochromis mossambicus, Pangasius pangasius and Anabas testudineus) collected from four wholesale markets of Dhaka city, Bangladesh (Karwan Bazar, Mohammadpur Town Hall, Newmarket and Mirpur-1)...

Soil contamination with heavy metals is one of the most important threats to environment because they are easily incorporated into food chain, threatening health plants, animals, and humans. In this study, effectiveness introduced substances (compost fly ash) was assessed in terms its influence on content Cu Zn soil, potential accumulation these cultivated plants (camelina oat), thus products p...

Until the 1990s the 1,1,1-trichloro-bis-2,2'-(4chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) was sprayed in the walls of the house along the Madeira River basin, Brazilian Amazon, a region well known for its large number of malaria cases. In 1910, Oswaldo Cruz described the presence of malaria in 100% of the population living in some localities from the Madeira River basin. Data available in the literature point ...

The use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) is increasing annually in China. Although several studies have reported significant contamination by these compounds in biological samples in China, little is known about the factors that may influence the levels of exposure and the potential health risk for infants. We investigated PBDE exposure levels in breast milk, its influencing factors an...
