The quality and safety of agricultural products from metal mining areas are of wide concern. In order to investigate the contents and health risks of trace elements in fruit vegetables planted in metal mining areas, 440 samples of fruit vegetables from 117 vegetable plots were collected from Tongling mining area. Trace element contents in fruit vegetables and soil were measured. The results ind...

Kadmium (Cd) merupakan logam berat berbahaya yang dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya pencemaran di perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan Cd pada matriks air, sedimen, dan ikan nilem (O. hasselti) Sungai Tajum, Banyumas serta tingkat berdasarkan Single Pollution Index (Pi), Contamination Factor (CF), of Geoaccumulation (Igeo), Bioaccumulation (BAF), Estimated Daily Intake (ED...

Intensive use of plastic has led to the accumulation plastics in all ecosystems and inevitable environmental pollution. Plastic wastes have undergone structural degradation with effect factors been disintegrated into nano microparticles; thus, might accumulate living organisms reach unpredictable levels food chain. In recent years, impacts these particles called "microplastics" (MP’s) become on...

Copper concentrations were measured in a 65 samples marketed and collected in Croatia in summer 2012: meat samples (bovine, pig, sheep), meat products (sausages, pâté), fi sh and fi sh products and shellfi sh (mussels, oysters). Mean Cu levels were (mg/kg): all meat 0.77, sausages 0.69, pâté 2.24, fi sh 0.23, fi sh products 1.20, mussels 0.81, oysters 30.0. Signifi cant diff erences were found ...

This investigation measured the extent of heavy metal concentrations (Cr, Pb, Fe, Zn and Ni) in nine finfish shellfish species from a tropical estuary to determine degree pollution evaluate human health risk exposure metals through consumption fish. The hierarchy mean (mg/kg) were: (398.47) > Fe (83.015) Cr (0.906) Ni (0.233) Pb (0.128). edible tissues were ranked following sequence: A. bato C....

The concentrations of six non–dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL-PCBs) were measured using the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with triple-quadrupole (QqQ) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method in cream ice offered Tehran (Iran). results showed limits detection, limit quantification recovery for PCB analytes ranges 0.04–0.1...

Sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L., 1758) production in Turkey has increased significantly recent years, especially for export to EU countries. This study determined inorganic arsenic (iAs) levels by measuring total (AsT) muscle tissues sampled from sea fished and farmed (both earthen ponds cages) Güllük Bay within the borders of Muğla province. The also conducted a risk assessment consumption c...
