High levels of metal(oid)s in soil or food pose a severe health risk to humans. The potential toxicants find their way into the living systems via chain, following bioaccumulation edible plants, including leafy vegetables grown irrigated with contaminated water, respectively. current study determines vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd...

Every year, migratory waterfowl are hunted and consumed by people in Golestan Province of Iran. Due to the heavy metal contamination of wintering habitats, an estimation of the human health risks associated with the consumption of these ducks is necessary. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate the health risks of exposure to cadmium (Cd), total chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and...

Due to their toxicity, long persistence, bioaccumulative nature, and biomagnification in the food chain, heavy metals pose a serious hazard. The aim of this study was evaluate health risks associated with consumption Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) spatiotemporal dynamics four potentially toxic metallic elements. Three hundred sixty specimens sardine were collected between December 2020 Octo...

OBJECTIVES Questionnaires are essential for measuring tinnitus severity and intervention-related change but there is no standard instrument used routinely in research settings. Most tinnitus questionnaires are optimised for measuring severity but not change. However, the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) claims to be optimised for both. It has not however been fully validated for research purpose...

In this work, an evaluation of the air two Italian industrial cities, Turin and Biella, has been performed to identify main sources affecting its quality evaluate evolution along 15 years. These cities are placed at border Po valley, one most polluted areas Europe, automotive textile industries have their economic sectors. The elemental analysis PM10 collected there in 2007 by ICP-MS ICP-AES. r...
