Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fish and Ardeid at Pearl River Estuary, China

Bioaccumulation of metals in fish species from water and sediments in macrotidal Ennore creek, Chennai, SE coast of India: A metropolitan city effect

“…Copper was found to be highly accumulated in the fish species of the present study and it is attributed to the high amounts of industrial and domestic wastes from the surrounding regions. Copper (2155) and Cr (1195) with BAF41000, signifies slow accumulation and their potentiality for chronic effects and accretion in the food chain of organisms (DeForest et al, 2007;Kwok et al, 2014).…”

Metal bioavailability to Eisenia fetida through copper mine dwelling animal and plant litter, a new challenge on contaminated environment remediation

“…Albeit, mining activity is responsible for substantial impact on ecosystem and environment due to the exposure of ores, casts and dumps containing metals (Yellishetty et al, 2013). When the living environment is exposed to metals, multiple problems arise due to their direct and indirect effects on reproduction and health (de Vries et al, 2013;Hashmi et al, 2013;Kwok et al, 2014). Since plants have a tendency to grow in habitats that it acclimatizes, most of the species growing in abandoned mines are metallophytes performing either phytoaccumulation or phytostabilization (Nirola et al, 2015).…”

Effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on lead bioconcentration and toxicity on thyroid endocrine system and neuronal development in zebrafish larvae

“…The water concentration of Pb is approximately 5-15 g/L in the Guangzhou segment of the Pearl River, which is one of China's most developed regions; the Pb concentration of some areas in Guangzhou is higher than the median values of the world's freshwater . The Pb concentrations in Oreochromis mossambicus and Channa asiatica from the Pearl River estuary of China are higher than 8 and 6 g/g dry weight (dw), respectively (Kwok et al, 2014). Meanwhile, the Pb concentration in freshwater fishes (common carp, rainbow trout and Siberian sturgeon) from Szczecin is 0.002-0.021 mg/kg wet weight (Brucka-Jastrzebska, 2010).…”
