“…Lead is one of the primary contaminants present in the environment 8,19 and naturally occurs in rocks, soils and in the hydrosphere. 48 However, Pb is also the most widely used metal and industrial Pb contributes a considerable quantity to that found in the natural environment. 49 Large amounts of lead tetraethyl can be completely converted to aerosols through the combustion of gasoline, subsequently contributing to atmospheric Pb.…”

Heavy metals in marine fish meat and consumer health: a review

et al. 2015

The numerous health benefits provided by fish consumption may be compromised by the presence of toxic metals and metalloids such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, which can have harmful effects on the human body if consumed in toxic quantities. The monitoring of metal concentrations in fish meat is therefore important to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and consequent consumer protection. The toxicity of these metals may be dependent on their chemical forms, which requires metal speciation processes for direct measurement of toxic metal species or the identification of prediction models in order to determine toxic metal forms from measured total metal concentrations. This review addresses various shortcomings in current knowledge and research on the accumulation of metal contaminants in commercially consumed marine fish globally and particularly in South Africa, affecting both the fishing industry as well as fish consumers.

“…The organic compounds of lead are more toxic than mineral compounds and are more easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Most toxic lead groups are methyl or ethyl [32,33]. In accordance with regulations of South African Ministry of Health, the maximum lead level in fresh and processed fish is 0.5 mg/kg and the maximum lead limit by the European Commission has been approved 0.3 mg/kg [34,35].…”

T HE survival of organisms is threatened with a variety of pollutants and chemical compounds and population growth. Natural phenomena and human activities, especially industrial activities increase contamination of water, soil and air. Population growth leads to increased exploitation of the sea and oceans, thus the consumption of seafood increases. In addition, the main food of the people in some areas is fish. Consumption of fish has numerous benefits to healthy for humans, but the existence of some heavy metals including lead, cadmium, and etc. may cause toxicity to marine organisms. The degree of heavy metal toxicity depends on their chemical form of metals. Some forms of metals are rapidly excreted and do not have the opportunity to be absorbed and stored in body tissues, accordingly they are not very toxic, while some forms of metals are highly toxic and lethal. These forms are slowly excreted from metals and have the ability to be absorbed and accumulated in fish muscles and other organs. Heavy metals cause harmful effects such as carcinogenesis, malformations, damage to the nervous system, damage to the reproductive system and infertility in men, liver failure and cardiovascular disease and so on. Therefore, in this review focused on concentration of heavy metals in fish muscle is essential to ensure the safety of this type of food.

“…For example, organic materials are introduced into soils through the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides by farmers [ 2 , 3 ]. In contrast, heavy metal contamination in soils is typically caused by industrial activities, such as mining and mineral processing [ 4 , 5 ]. Therefore, soils originating from different locations, regions or countries tend to be unique in composition.…”

Soil is of particular interest to the forensic community because it can be used as valuable associative evidence to link a suspect to a victim or a crime scene. Liquid chromatography is a powerful analytical tool for organic compound analysis. Recently, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has proven to be an efficient method for forensic soil analysis, especially in discriminating soils from proximity locations. However, ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), which is much more sensitive than HPLC, has never been explored in this context. This study proposed a UPLC method for profiling non-volatile organic compounds in three Malaysian soils (red, brown and yellowish-brown soils). The three soils were analysed separately to assess the effects of individual chromatographic parameters: (a) elution programme (isocratic vs. two gradient programmes); (b) flow rate (0.1 vs. 0.2 mL/min); (c) extraction solvent (acetonitrile vs. methanol) and (d) detection wavelength (230 vs. 254 nm). The injection volume and total run time were set to 5 µL and 35 min, respectively. Consequently, each soil sample gave 24 different chromatograms. Results showed that the most desirable chromatographic parameters were (a) isocratic elution; (b) flow rate at 0.2 mL/min and (c) acetonitrile extraction solvent. The proposed UPLC system is expected to be a feasible method for profiling non-volatile organic compounds in soil, and is more chemical-efficient than a comparable HPLC system. KEY POINTS• UPLC is a chemical-efficient analytical method for profiling non-volatile organic compounds in soil. • Mobile phase rich in acetonitrile promotes separation of non-volatile organic compounds in soil. • Isocratic elution is more desirable than gradient elution in producing a high-quality chromatogram.
