“…The lead concentrations found in the Strzelin Quarry Lakes were similar to the values (0.06-15.0 μg•dm -3 , 30.6-220.3 μg•dm -3 ) noted in lakes, especially uncontaminated ones (Piotrowski, 1997, Gwoździński et al, 2014, Zeng et al, 2012, Zeng et al, 2013, Wojtkowska, 2014 and similar to the lower lead concentration values (10.0-73.0 μg•dm -3 ) in water reservoirs (Avila-Pérez et al, 1999, Rosińska & Dąbrowska, 2011. At the same time, they are decidedly lower than the lead content (0.001-1.0 mg•dm -3 ) noted in the quarry lakes after the excavation of metal ores (Ramstedt et al, 2003, Kumar et al, 2009 as well as in the coal and lignite pit lakes (0.011-6.3 mg•dm -3 ) (Stottmeister et al, 1999, Kumar et al, 2009, Hinwood et al, 2012.…”

“…In autumn and winter, no cadmium was detected in 64% of the water samples from the analysed Strzelin Quarry Lakes ( Table 2). The cadmium content in the waters of the analysed quarry lakes is similar to the lower values (0.009-1.0 μg•dm -3 , 2.4-15.3 μg•dm -3 ) noted in lakes, in particular uncontaminated ones (Piotrowski, 1997, Gwoździński et al, 2014, Zeng et al, 2012, Zeng et al, 2013, Elzwayie et al, 2017. At the same time, they are decidedly lower than the zinc content (0.02-0.16 mg•dm -3 ) noted in the quarry lakes after the excavation of metal ores (Ramstedt et al, 2003, McCullough, 2008, Kumar et al, 2009 and in coal and lignite pit lakes ((0.001-0.023 mg•dm -3 ) (Stottmeister et al, 1999, Kumar et al, 2009, Hinwood et al, 2012).…”

The fresh water deficit on Earth was estimated at 230 billion m 3 /year in 2000; this value takes into account the water for agricultural and industrial purposes (Domashenko and Vasilyev, 2018). The total amount of freshwater in Europe (approx. 2270 km 3 /year) shows that the water resources are relatively abundant (EEA Report No 2/2009). In Poland, the average discharge of surface waters is approx. 58.6 km 3 , the average water resource index is 1.4 dam 3 /year per person (GUS 2019). According to estimations, the water resources in Europe amount to approx. 4750 m 3 /year per person on average, it shows that Poland is one of the countries with the poorest water resources (Walczykiewicz, 2014, Łabędzki, 2016, GUS, 2019). The quality of the Polish surface water is low (Patro & Zubala, 2012). The low quality and deficiency of water, compels the use of irrigation (also agricultural irrigation) water from different sources, which allows for the efficient use of poor water resources (Tarjuelo et al., 2010, Lykhovyd et al., 2019, Jawecki et al., 2019a). Quarry lakes often emerge in mine pits, after the exploitation of mineral deposits is over; the water resources contained in these lakes can be used by agriculture and the economy (Axler

“…These pollutants are ubiquitous contaminants in different environments (Martin et al 2003;Wu 2005, 2006). Aquatic environments are important biotopes that should be controlled sensitively from unsafe industrial, agricultural and other anthropogenic activities (Mohiuddin et al 2011;Zeng et al 2013;Chakraborty and Owens 2014). PCBs are a group of chlorinated hydrocarbons widely used in industry with many different applications.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess selected potentially toxic elements and persistent organic pollutants concentrations in the Shahid Rajaei Dam reservoir as well as their accumulation in barbel and Leuciscus cephalus fish species. The concentration of arsenic, mercury, nickel, chromium and cadmium in all water samples is less than WHO drinking water standard. Chromium shows a higher concentration than WHO standard in both fish species, while nickel and mercury content in barbel fish is higher than WHO standard. The result of principle component analyses indicates an increased elemental concentration due to application of phosphorus fertilizers in the agricultural lands, especially paddy field, ending up to the Tajan River and Shahid Rajaei Dam reservoir. Ni, Co, Mn, Pb and Cr display a quasi-independent behavior within the groups (PC1, PC2 and PC3) reflecting contribution of both geogenic and anthropogenic sources. The concentrations of persistent organic pollutants in all water samples, except M-5 sample, are less than WHO and EPA drinking water standards, while persistent organic pollutants (detected in both fish species) indicate higher contents than those of EPA standard values. Based on carcinogenic health risk value, maximum allowable fish consumption for arsenic is two meals per month. The result of noncarcinogenic health risk of mercury indicates one and three meals consumption per month for barbel and L. cephalus fishes, respectively. The calculation of maximum allowable fish consumption based on carcinogenic health for dieldrin, P HCH, heptachlor epoxide, P DDT and P PCBs reveals monthly meals limitation of both fish species grown in Shahid Rajaei Dam.

“…Consequently, aquatic organisms are exposed to high doses of heavy metals. Recently, scientists have focused on the accumulation of trace metals in the environment and their effects on living organisms (Rainbow and Moore 1990;Zeng et al 2013). Aquatic organisms are a vital part of the food chain; therefore, these heavy metals are transferred to other steps of the food chain.…”

This study was conducted to determine the single and combined effects of cadmium (Cd) exposure at different concentrations and durations on biological responses in Gammarus pulex. The animals were exposed to 4, 8, 16 or 32 lg l -1 of CdCl 2 for 24, 48, 72 or 96 h, respectively. Cd accumulation, protein content, malondialdehyde content (MDA) and three antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were studied. The results were analyzed with two-way analysis of variance (two-way ANOVA) to assess the significance of the effects of exposure concentration and duration and their combined effects. The highest accumulation of Cd was found as 15.07 lg g -1 at 32 lg l -1 and 96-h Cd exposure. There was a significant correlation between accumulated Cd concentration and MDA and protein content and GPx activity. Although there was no significant synergistic effect of duration and concentration on Cd accumulation, a significant synergy of duration and concentration was observed in all other studied parameters. Interestingly, with the exception of GPx activity, the effect of concentration was greater than the effect of duration for all studied parameters. GPx activity showed that duration had a greater effect than concentration. Additionally, both SOD and GPx are more effective than CAT during Cd stress. The results of this study may be useful for understanding the relationship between organisms and environmental toxins.
