One of the drawbacks of canning is the migration of various chemicals from the package into the food product. This work aimed at analyzing the concentrations of Bisphenol A (in 137 samples) and heavy metals (in 51 samples) of canned tuna commercialized in Lebanon while evaluating the variability across different brands, packing media, layer, and proximity to the expiry date. Accordingly, BPA was detected in 12 samples out of the 137 samples, run in duplicates. The estimated daily intake of BPA for the selected samples (n = 274) was lower than the tolerable daily intake of BPA, 0.004 mg/kg/day. Therefore, there is no health risk associated with BPA as a result of consuming canned tuna commercialized in the Lebanese market. Besides, the study has shown that 66 samples out of 102 were contaminated with Zn whereas 100% of the samples were contaminated with Aluminum and Tin. However, the calculated Health Risk Index of all the considered heavy metals are all within the safe limits as defined by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and Codex Alimentarius.

“…The concentration of Zn in barely, unlike the other heavy metals, shows the highest values, so that polluted sample releases 131.6 mg kg −1 Zn (Table 4). The concentrations of Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb in all plants cultivated on the polluted soils exceed the maximum permissible limit of crops [15,36] (Table 4). The Co concentrations are below the permissible limit, and alfalfa and barely have a higher concentration of Cu and Zn than the permissible limit, respectively.…”

The present study identifies the effects of sewage irrigation on the surface soils geochemistry and the concentration of heavy metals in plants of Sabzevar area, which were irrigated for a long time by wastewater. This study shows that the sewage irrigation has led to decreasing pH and increasing organic matter, and also it makes the accumulation of P 2 O 5 , high-field-strength elements (Ga, Ta, Th, U and Y) and heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Pb, Sn and Zn) in contaminated soils. Likewise, the concentration of rare-earth elements (REE) in contaminated soils is more than background samples with moderate enrichment of light REE compared with high REE in REE pattern diagram (mean La N /Lu N = 5.77). The calculated transfer factor and enrichment factor indexes in plants grown on the polluted soils are significantly higher than the control samples which show the heavy metal enrichment in the contaminated samples. Although the cultivated crops on this area (maize, beet, alfalfa, barely) are used only for animal feed, the heavy metal analysis indicated that the concentration of Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in these plants, especially alfalfa and maize, is more than the maximum permitted levels defined in different standards.

The aims of this study were to determine the levels of trace elements and heavy metals, namely aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb), in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women, and to investigate their relationship with neural tube defects (NTDs). The study included 36 pregnant women whose fetuses were complicated with NTDs (study group) and 39 pregnant women with unaffected healthy fetuses (control group), who were matched for body mass index and gestational weeks. The amniotic fluid levels of trace elements and heavy metals were measured using inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry and compared between the two groups. Significantly lower mean levels of Zn and Mo and significantly higher levels of Al, Sn, Sb, and Hg in the study group than in the healthy control group were observed, which implied that these elements are possibly correlated with risk factors for the occurrence of NTDs. In contrast, there were no significant differences in the levels of Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb between the groups (P ≥ .05).
