The main objective of this study is to evaluate heavy metals contamination of highly consumed vegetables and hazardous effects of consuming these vegetables. The study was conducted in vegetable fields in three different regions according to the level of environmental pollutions, including "Isfahan", "Flavarjan" and "Faridan, Golpayegan and Natanz". Six types of vegetables in each field with th...

Honghu Lake, which listed in the "Ramsar Convention", is the seventh largest freshwater lake in China and is regarded as one of the biggest freshwater product output areas in China. The toxic element distribution in cultured and wild fish and the corresponding health risks through fish consumption from Honghu area were investigated. The mean concentration in the muscle of cultured and wild fish...

BACKGROUND Considerable research has been directed towards the roles of metal ions in nutrition with metal ion toxicity attracting particular attention. The aim of this study is to measure the levels of metal ions found in selected beverages (red wine, stout and apple juice) and to determine their potential detrimental effects via calculation of the Target Hazard Quotients (THQ) for 250 mL dail...

In the residential area of the North Coast of the Persian Gulf, consumption of fish is a possible source of exposure to heavy metals and other pollutants, all of which may act as potential risk factors for serious syndromes and fatal diseases. Health risks associated with Pb, Cd, and Hg were assessed based on the target hazard quotients (THQ), which can be derived from concentrations of heavy m...

Pangasius hypophthalmus (panga fish) is farmed in the Mekong River (Vietnam), which known as a polluted river, and exported to many countries. The present study aimed determine heavy metal levels frozen panga fillets imported from Vietnam well risks of metals human health. Panga belonging four brands were bought three supermarkets Adana city, Turkey, (As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Ni, Cu, Mn Co) analyzed. To...

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...

Limited work has been conducted on trace metal(loid) exchange between sediment, water, feed, and shrimp, particularly in estuarine aquaculture environments. To identify sources the processes controlling bioaccumulation we analyzed paired shrimp samples collected Southwest Bangladesh late dry season (May), as well several common artificial feeds. Additionally, sediment extract from 24-hour labor...

Concentrations of Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Pb, Cd, As, and Hg were analyzed in the surface water muscle seven fish species (Carassius auratus, Cyprinus carpio, Hemiculter leucisculus, Pelteobagrus fulvidraco, Silurus meriaionalis, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, Parabramis pekinensis) from Wujiangdu reservoir, China. All metal concen-trations lower than grade one quality values. Mean concentrations decreased ...

Abstract Samples of raw waste water is taken from the municipal sewer Sumail district in Iraqi Kurdistan region and submitted to primary treatment by aeration evaluate their validity for irrigation potential health risks associated with this treated wastewater, Result revealed, (BOD) improved mechanical aeration, (COD) not enough bring it safe ranges. Ammonia NH 4 reduced 24 18 mg/L as converte...

Chicken meat consumption remains high in the Philippines, and consequently, annual chicken production has risen steadily over years. Although most of available market are sourced from factory farms, there been growing popularity free-range production, largely driven by its perceived health benefits sanitation concerns among others. In this work, we aimed at comparing trace metal (copper, iron, ...
