Assessment of Heavy Metal Toxicity and Its Impact on Human Health and the Environment

Heavy metal toxicity poses a significant threat to both environmental and human health due to the persistence, bioaccumulation, and non-biodegradable nature of metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic. These metals enter ecosystems through industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, and improper waste disposal...

Trace metals contamination in freshwater fish in Brazil: related factors, environmental impacts, and risks to human health

Freshwater fish are essential components of the aquatic food chain and an important source of protein and nutrients for various communities, especially riverine populations. However, water pollution is one of the main causes of metal bioaccumulation in the organs of these animals. This study conducted a systematic revi...

Comparative assessment of source-driven toxic metal bioaccumulation and human health risks in edible aquatic organisms from freshwater and estuarine ecosystems

Heavy metal contamination in aquatic food sources poses potential risks to human health and ecosystems. This study evaluated the tissue-specific distribution, bioaccumulation patterns, and health risks of selected heavy metals and metalloids (Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb) in Etroplus suratensis (freshwater and bracki...

HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METALS IN FISHES FROM EGBE RESERVOIR, EKITI STATE, NIGERIA

Contamination of aquatic ecosystems by industrial, agricultural, and urban activities has intensified concerns about heavy metal accumulation in fish and the associated risks to human health. In this study, heavy metal concentrations and potential health risks were assessed in five fish species-Clarias gariepinus, Oreo...

Species and tissue-specific bioaccumulation and risk assessment patterns of heavy metals in bivalves from northern China.

Bivalves play a crucial role in marine biogeochemical cycles and are highly sensitive to heavy metals (HMs) due to their filter-feeding behavior, making them widely recognized as bioindicators and an important human exposure pathway for these contaminants. This study employed several models to explore the species- and...
