Background: Cereals are the most staple foods in human diet and the main components of the daily diet. This work was designed to determine the level of essential and non-essential elements, the in vitro bioavailability, interrelationship, and associated health risk in consumed cereal grains in Nigeria to assess their safety and wholesomeness. Methods: The contents of phytate, oxalate, and some...

Date fruits (Phoenix-dactylifera) consumption has significant human health benefits due to the presence of minerals and other constituents. The may be contaminated during transportation possibly storage. This research aimed at exploring mineral contents risk associated with intake date sold in Dutse, Jigawa State-Nigeria. fruit sample was obtained from market scientifically identified. shade dr...

Water is an important asset for the maintenance of life and socioeconomic development. Aquatic environments have been anthropized, receiving a large polluting load, mainly from trace elements.This study investigates occurrence health risks caused by 15 elements in surface water João Leite stream. Health risk indices were evaluated as average daily dose (ADD), hazard quotient (HQ), index carcino...

In order to investigate concentrations, variability, sources, and human health risk of trace elements, 38 atmospheric dust samples were collected around Arak industrial area. The average concentrations Cd~Zn, As, Pb 3.3, 2.5, 2.4 times higher than the corresponding geochemical background, respectively, while Co, Cu, Ni, Hg lower. Based on geo-accumulation index (Igeo), elements classified betwe...

Chromium content in fish and rice its effect on public health along the downstream Opak River, Bantul District, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 11: 69-74. The activities of leather home industry are overgrowing, causing liquid waste flowing into river also to increase so that threat ecosystem water users increase...

This study aimed to determine the effect of land-use changes on non-carcinogenic health risk nitrate ion exposure underground drinking water resources in Shiraz (Iran). To this end, 175 chemical samples for analysis were regularly taken from 35 wells 2013 2017, and their results zoned using GIS. Hazard quotient (HQ) induced by was determined four age groups: infants, children, adolescents, adul...

Amidst industrialization and urbanization, wetlands face pollution challenges. We investigated the seasonal distribution of five heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn) in surface water Harike wetland. The samples were collected from four different stations selected along Our results indicate As, Zn levels within WHO standards, however, Cd winter (7.07 µg/L), monsoon (4.45 post-monsoon seasons (3.13 ...

A pot culture study was conducted to investigate the impact of applying humic acid functionalized bentonite (HA-B) on uptake heavy metals by spinach. When soil amended with 7.5 g kg-1 intercalated bentonite, there a significant improvement in plant growth. Specifically, growth increased 180.7%, 212%, and 231% during first, second, third cuttings, respectively. Additionally, concentration spinac...

Background: The concentrations of heavy metals in the tissues and organs of fishes indicate the concentrations of heavy metals in water and their accumulation in food chains. In the present study, the concentrations of Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni, V and Pb in three common species of fish and the potential health risks to local residents via consumption of the fishes were estimated.  Methods: The con...

This study illustrates a profile of some essential and non-essential elements (Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Pb, Cr, Cd, Co, Al, Sn) in the aerial parts six medicinal plants, i.e. Coriandrum sativum L., Mentha spicata Papaver somniferum Calotropis gigantean (L.) Dryand., Withania coagulans (Stock) Dunal, Fagonia arabica L. widely consumed district Peshawar, capital city Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pak...
