In this study, it was aimed to determine heavy metal levels in muscle tissues of Atlantic bonito samples caught the Eastern Black Sea Region and their potential pose a risk human health. The concentrations Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn, Al have been measured edible (Sarda sarda Bloch, 1793) from Trabzon Rize coasts southern September 2020 December 2020. Cd, Cr, Co, Ni were not detected part S. both coasta...

Dietary cadmium (Cd) exposure was estimated for adults living in Cd-contaminated areas close to non-ferrous metal plants and compared with dietary Cd exposure in the general Belgian adult population. To evaluate the contamination levels of locally produced food items, 35 fruit samples, 97 vegetable samples, 98 samples of potatoes and 53 samples of meat, liver and kidney of cattle, which had res...

Presented in this paper is result of the study of the bioconcentration potential of mercury (Hg) by Suillus luteus mushroom collected from regions within Central, Eastern, and Northern regions of Europe. As determined by cold-vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy, the Hg content varied from 0.13 ± 0.05 to 0.33 ± 0.13 mg kg(-1) dry matter for caps and from 0.038 ± 0.014 to 0.095 ± 0.038 mg kg(-1)...

Consumption of mercury-contaminated rice could pose a potential health risk to humans. In this study, total mercury (THg) concentrations in various parts (roots, stems, leaves, and grains) plant (Oryza sativa) collected from Sekinchan, Selangor, Malaysia were analysed for assessment. The THg samples by Direct Mercury Analyzer (DMA-80). mean found as follows: root, 47.01±0.42 µg/kg; stem, 6.43±1...

Seafood is the main source of dietary mercury (Hg) exposure and it can be affected by species, origin, tissue, processing. The objective this study was to investigate total Hg in shrimp mussels from retail market, compare body tissue distribution cooking time, estimate exposure. A 126 samples (whiteleg Atlantic seabob South American mussel) were analyzed. Total quantified combustion atomic abso...

29 30 There is a dramatic lack of data on Hg levels in marine organisms from tropical areas, 31 and in particular from New Caledonia. For the first time, this study reports the total Hg 32 concentrations in the tissues of several marine taxa from the New Caledonian lagoon. Seafood 33 from both wild and farmed populations was considered. Hg concentrations varied over 3 34 orders of magnitudes ac...

To prepare measures for practical policy utilization and the control of heavy metals, hazard control related institutions by country, present states of control by country, and present states of control by heavy metals were examined. Hazard control cases by heavy metals in various countries were compared and analyzed. In certain countries (e.g., the U.S., the U.K., and Japan), hazardous substanc...

Samples of herbal medicine used in Brazil were analyzed, after nitric digestion, for the content of cadmium, mercury and lead, by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Fifteen samples of ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo biloba), 13 of celastraceae (Maytenus ilicifolia), 14 of cascara buckthorn (Rhamnus purshiana), 13 of eggplant (Solanum melongena), 15 of horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), 13 of Braz...

In this study, a total of 135 Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) samples were collected from four major crab-producing provinces (Jiangsu, Hubei, Anhui, and Liaoning) in China. The content 24 trace elements the edible parts crabs was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). addition, different compared, heavy metal levels exceeding standard evaluated. Twenty me...
