This study estimated the non-carcinogenic health risk of Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn via dietary intake in urban and rural areas Baia Mare city, northwestern Romania, a former mining area. A total 230 food items grouped ten categories (meat animal organs, meat-derived products, fat, eggs, dairy, bread, corn flour, potato, vegetables, fruits) 32 water samples were collected analyzed for Cd using atomic absor...

Rice is among the most important staple foods worldwide. However, consumption of rice and rice-based food products poses a potential health risk since paddy crop that well known to accumulate high concentrations arsenic (As) in its grain. In The Bahamas, although heavily consumed, it not grown locally. Instead, all consumed derived are imported. Recent surveys major exporting countries have sho...

In Egypt, the shortage of freshwater resources and their pollution constitutes a growing concern. Therefore, objectives this study were to (i) monitor occurrence spatiotemporal variations 100 pesticides in surface water samples collected monthly (from July 2018 June 2019) from El-Rahawy, Sabal, Tala sampling sites along Rosetta branch River Nile (ii) identify potential non-carcinogenic health r...

Heavy metals and some pathogenic bacteria tend to contaminate food substances commonly consumed this pose as health risks the populace. The study was therefore conducted assess level of metal contamination meat barbecue (SUYA) in Anambra State, Nigeria. Thirty six sample were evenly collected from sensational Zones analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Metal values obtained range ...

WHEN aldehydes are fed to animals, the -CHO group is either reduced to -CH20H or oxidized to -COOH. It can be stated broadly that those aldehydes undergoing biological reduction are aliphatic in nature, whilst those oxidized to the corresponding acid are aromatic.2 Examples of the former are chloral [Musculus & Mering, 1875; Mering, 1882], butyl chloral [Mering, 1882] and bromal [Maraldi, 1903]...

Heavy metal contamination of soils resulting from mining and smelting is causing major concern due to the potential risk involved. This study was designed to investigate the heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) concentrations in soils and food crops and estimate the potential health risks of metals to humans via consumption of polluted food crops grown at four villages around the Dabaoshan mine, Sou...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies show that most of the adult population will be exposed to at least one potentially traumatic event in the course of his/her life; adolescence and early adulthood are the most vulnerable periods of life for exposure to traumatic experiences (70% of their deaths are due to external causes). Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is characterized by the development of dys...

Heavy metals pollution of the environment is a serious concern because hazardous effects they pose to human health, ecosystems and other biological receptors. The aim this study was assess ecological risk exposure heavy physicochemical parameters around Otamiri Imo rivers in Etche Oyibo Local Government Areas Rivers State. Water, sediment, arrow head plant (Sagittaria latifolia) christmas bush ...
