“…In an study conducted on Kyphosus vaigiensis, Stegastes rectifraenum and Balistes polylepi [29] the authors concluded that Cd and Cu accumulated differently in the organs. The findings agree with the bioaccumulation studies on muscle, liver and gills in Cyprinus carpio, where no significant differences were found in the metals' levels in the muscle and liver [30], supporting the hypothesis that fish muscle is a good indicator of heavy metals contamination [27][28][29][30].…”

Background: Metal pollution is a problem in many parts of the world. These metals can be harmful when they exceed the recommended limits. By analyzing metal concentrations in living organisms, it is possible to deduce the bioavailability and the level of environmental contamination for specific metals in an ecosystem. The aim of this study was to determine the heavy metals copper, cadmium, lead, nickel and mercury in edible tissues of fish, to establish the risk analysis for human health. There are currently no studies in this area indicating these factors. Methods: The edible tissue samples were treated under the techniques of the official mexican standards (NOM-117-SSA1) and analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (flame and graphite). The heavy metal concentrations were used to calculate the estimated daily intakes, target hazard quotients, hazard indices, and target cancer risks for children and adults. Results: The highest concentrations of copper (138.82 μg/g), cadmium (1.28 μg/g) and lead (3.20 μg/g) in the edible tissue samples exceeded the permissible limits considered in this study while nickel and mercury levels did not. The target hazard quotient indices for copper, cadmium and nickel in specific sites were higher than the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) criteria (>1), while the values for mercury and lead were below one. The hazard indices were higher than the US-EPA criteria (>1) in more than 50% of the sites analyzed. Conclusion: This study is an alert, indicating that inhabitants who consume the fish, particularly children, are at risk of cadmium, lead and nickel toxicity.

“…However, it has been shown that fish are vectors of heavy metal contamination in humans (Usero et al, 2003) to such an extent that certain species are used to assess heavy metal pollution of water (Coulibaly, 2013;Moiseenko et al, 2018). Several studies have been carried out to assess the level of heavy metals in fish organs (liver, gills, muscles, kidneys, intestine, stomach, skin, bone and spleen) (Abdel-Baki et al, 2011;Chahid, 2016;Alvarado et al, 2019). Nonetheless, muscle, the main edible part of fish (Pintaeva et al, 2011;El -Korashy et al, 2018), remains the most analyzed organ due to the consequences of its consumption and health risks (Chahid, 2016).…”

“…The damage they cause is so severe that many species show no symptoms, but they accumulate large amounts in their internal tissues and organs [14][15][16][17], from this fact derives the importance of studying marine sediments and classifying pollution and the risk to which aquatic organisms are exposed; Likewise, sediments reflect the environmental quality of an ecosystem [18,19].…”

This chapter shows the results of the determination of the levels of Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), and Cadmium (Cd) in sediments of the “Palizada River”; evaluated by atomic absorption. The results show high levels of Fe, Mg, and Mn concerning previous studies and are directly related to agricultural and livestock activities in the area. The metal-metal correlation analysis show significant values, suggesting that the generation source is the same. Some of the pollutants produced by industrial or population centers; end up in natural water bodies; by different physical processes, such as precipitation, complex formation, and others. These contaminants can bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms and reach humans through the food chain. Certain heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) produced by human activities have been found in the oceans and the tissues of different organisms; which constitutes a risk for consumption; Cd is classified as an element that predisposes to the presence of Cancer. Therefore, the study of sediments is fundamental for determining the degree of contamination of an ecosystem.
