Heavy metals are considered as most important contaminations due to industrialization of countries and an influence on its existence in soil, plant milk. A study was carried out check manganese content forage milk at three sites city Jhang, Punjab, Pakistan. All samples (milk, water, fodder plants ground water) were analyzed for by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Different health indices a...

Aim: Active mining in Kilembe copper mine, Kasese district, Uganda ended about four decades ago. However, various health problems are believed to be from the effect of activities that took place area. In this study therefore, we quantified concentration trace metals: chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), arsenic (As) and (Cu) cabbages tomatoes grown area assessed risks c...

In the present study concentrations of 12 trace elements (TEs): As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn were quantified in muscle and, where possible, liver tissues, six commercially important marine species including fish (Euryglossa orientalis, Sardinella longiceps, Carcharhinus dussumieri), crustacean (Portunus armatus, Thenus orientalis) mollusc (Sepia pharanois) collected from N...

A risk assessment of basil-based pesto sauces containing methyleugenol and related alkenylbenzenes was performed based on their levels detected in a series of pesto sauces available on the Dutch market. The estimated daily intake (EDI) values of alkenylbenzenes as a result of consumption of the different pesto sauces amounted to 1.2-44.3 μg/kg bw for individual alkenylbenzenes, 14.3-43.5 μg/kg ...

Heavy metals have been widely researched around the world as a result of their deleterious and toxic effects on biotic ecosystems. On this premise, dearth ecotoxicological data regarding heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Zn Cu) content in African freshwater apple snail (Pila ovata) sourced directly from open markets Benin City, Nigeria warranted research. specimens mean weight 76.11±1.07 g were quantified b...

Heavy metals can contaminate fish and water which in turn present a risk to humans. The dearth of eco-toxicological data on the heavy metal content Trachurus trachurus particularly from cold storage Benin Metropolis, Nigeria, warranted this research, was achieved via Atomic Absorption Spectrometric technique. mean concentrations (mg/kg, wet weight) T. by point ranged 0.242 for Cd at Uselu 52.98...

A refined exposure assessment was undertaken to calculate the estimated daily intake (EDI) of the seven FD&C straight-colour additives and five FD&C colour lakes ('synthetic' food colours) approved in the United States. The EDIs were calculated for the US population as a whole and specific age groups, including children aged 2-5 and 6-12 years, adolescents aged 13-18 years, and adults aged 19 o...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are dangerous environmental compounds that sometimes found in food. The objective of present study was to measure the level 16 PAHs bottled water samples (non-carbonated or drinking, mineral, carbonated and flavored water) Tehran by using magnetic solid-phase extraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (MSPE/GC–MS) method. limit detections (L...
