Crayfish, carp, and crab threaten the consumer’s health due to enrichment of toxic elements. The concentration elements (As, Cr, Cd, Pb) in these aquatics was less investigated simultaneously situ. In this study, from same site Hanchuan, Hubei Province, China were measured by ICP-MS assess four them risk consumer. results showed that concentrations muscle lower than those hepatopancreas/ liver,...

With the occurrence of recreational and small scale subsistence fishing activities at the Vaal Dam, South Africa, consumption of fish from this dam may result in health risks associated with trace elements and metals. The Vaal Dam is one of the largest dams in South Africa, located between the Gauteng Province and Orange Free State, and supplies water to approximately 11.6 million people. A tot...

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...

This study has evaluated the potential ecological risk and human health for contamination of nine elements (Cu, Cr, Mn, Zn, As, Pb, Co, Fe, Sr) in water sediment samples two seasons, i.e., before after rainy season, by calculating several pollution indices such as load index (PLI), (PER), target hazard quotient (THQ). Samples were analyzed elemental concentration using energy dispersive X-ray f...

Bee pollen contains many nutrients, including minerals. Elements are minor substances of bee pollen, they play a crucial role in identifying its quality. As food supplement, concentrations essential macro and microelements, harmful trace elements have to be verified determine quality safety. This study aimed identify the element contents pollens from different botanic sources. Firstly, we appli...

The elemental pollution in the intertidal zone of West Coast Peninsular Malaysia is concern because this place an ultimate sink anthropogenic contaminants. In study, concentrations (Al, Fe, Ba, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, As, and Cd) various tissues (muscle, gill, liver, gastrointestinal tract, scale) giant mudskippers ( Periophthalmodon schlosseri ) from were determined by inductively coupled ...

Background and Purpose: Soft drinks are commonly consumed globally. Due to high demand, regulatory protocols may be breached thereby leading contamination with heavy metals. In this study, we determined the content of five metals in some Nigerian soft estimated their potential health risks.
 Methods: Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was used determine concentrations magnesium, aluminum...
