“…Chronic exposure to hexavalent chromium significantly altered the proximate composition of the animals, especially the protein content, which reduced significantly in all the tissues of the exposed animals, especially at the highest exposure concentration. The decreased protein content in the exposed animals has been reported in other studies [45,46]. The protein content of the fish African catfish decreased significantly following exposure to chlorpyrifos [45].…”

The increased use of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) in various industrial applications has contributed to its elevated levels in the environment, especially the aquatic environment. Thus, there is the potential for accumulation of Cr6+ in the tissues of aquatic organisms and consequent toxic effects. The toxic effects of Cr6+ in aquatic organisms have been widely reported; however, little is known about the patterns of tissue accumulation of Cr6+ and its toxicity in aquatic mollusks. Thus, the present study investigated the effects of Cr6+ exposure on the tissue distribution, proximate composition, and histopathology of an aquatic mollusk, periwinkle (Littorina littorea). The animals were exposed to sublethal concentrations of Cr6+ (0.42, 0.84, and 4.2 mg/L) for 30 days, after which the condition index, tissue accumulation, proximate composition, and histopathological effects were determined. The control animals were maintained in a medium that did not contain Cr6+ (0 mg/L). The condition index did not differ significantly among the groups. The levels of Cr6+ in the tissues differed significantly among the different tissue types while there was no significant effect of the exposure concentration, except in the foot tissue. The proximate parameters (protein, carbohydrates, lipid, crude fiber, and moisture contents) differed significantly among the groups. The protein contents of the exposed animals were significantly lower than those of the control animals and the histological architecture of the major organs was altered in the chromium-exposed animals. The findings from this study indicate a low potential of L. littorea to bioaccumulate Cr6+ in its tissues at the low exposure concentrations tested in this study; as such, its consumption may not pose any serious health risks to humans. However, changes in the proximate composition and histological architecture of the exposed L. littorea show that Cr6+ is potentially toxic to periwinkles.

“…[27] observed a decrease in protein in L. rohita after exposure to chlorpyrifos. [28] reported that unexposed fish might exhibit better nutritional composition compared to the fish treated with chlorpyrifos, which might be due to their better health and balance protein and lipid profile in the muscle of Clarias gariepinus. [29] reported a decrease in protein and fat content against sublethal exposure of 'Phorate 10G' in tilapia.…”

Pesticides are unavoidable and are primarily used for crop protection against various insects, and play a vital role in increasing crop productivity. Pesticides cause various health hazards to humans and also pollute the soil, water, air, and food for several years [1]. Many types of research have been aimed at minimizing the application of pesticide usage through genetic engineering, integrated pest management, and biocontrol agents, but still pesticides are being applied in huge quantities in developing countries [2-3]. Profenofos is an organophosphorus pesticide that may be applied against the lepidopteran insects on different crops like cotton, maize, soybean, vegetables, and sugar beet [4].

Pollution of water resources by uncontrolled pesticide use is a serious health and environmental issue. In this study, concentrations of three organophosphorus pesticides (diazinon, malathion, and azinphos-methyl) in water and sediment samples from five estuaries (Sefidrud, Chalus, Babolrud, Tajan, and Gorganrud) along the Caspian Sea were investigated. Samples were collected from surface water and sediment during summer to autumn, and pesticides were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results indicated that salinity and turbidity in Gorganrud were higher (salinity: range 2–8%; turbidity: range 1–9%) compared to other stations. Higher diazinon (water: 0.08±0.06, sediment: 0.04±0.01), malathion (water: 0.09±0.06, sediment: 0.05±0.01) and azinphos-methyl (water: 0.1±0.08, sediment: 0.06± 0.02) concentrations were observed in the Tajan river compared to other stations. Mean concentrations of diazinon, malathion and azinphos-methyl pesticides were higher in the summer compared to the autumn. Azinphos-methyl concentrations were higher than sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), which warrants ongoing monitoring. Our research provides insights into the presence of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) in rivers that enter into the Caspian Sea. Further work to better understand the environmental pollution of OPs in the Caspian Sea is ongoing.
