“…Concentrations of Cr in surface sediment was 1.7 times higher than the Ga obtained from Sungai Kelantan during this cruise. These values are similar as those reported in Tsurumi River, Japan (57.93-279.63 μg/g), Sakarya River, Turkey (29.7-252.7 μg/g) and Dunajec River, Poland (10 -1600 μg/g) (Dundar & Altundag 2018;Mohiuddin et al 2010;Pawlikowski et al 2006). However, the Nile River, Egypt reported a high concentration of Cr in sediment during March 1987 ranging from 169 -5618 μg/g compared with Sungai Kelantan (Elsokkary & Muller 1990).…”

Concentration level of chromium (Cr) and gallium (Ga) were measured in the total suspended solid (TSS) and surface sediments to investigate its distribution and anthropogenic inputs along Sungai Kelantan. The in-situ water quality parameters, surface sediment and surface water were collected using calibrated portable YSI water quality meter, ponar grab and water sampler, respectively. The concentration range of chromium and gallium in TSS were from 19-111 µg/g and 153-3762 µg/g, respectively, along the river. While in surface sediment, the concentrations ranged from 16-172 µg/g for Cr and 25-82 µg/g for Ga. The high concentration of Ga in TSS and Cr in sediment would suggest that the anthropogenic inputs takes place in the river channel, which is due to human activities such as sand exploration along Sungai Kelantan. In mobilization towards the estuary, Ga was more easily transported in the TSS from upstream to downstream especially during the wet season. Cr was dominant in sediment due to its affinity towards inorganic minerals and easily being scavenged in the water column during burial onto the riverbed sediment. Spatial distribution was prominent as several factors affecting the distribution along the river channel addresses the lighter gallium and dissolution of chromium towards surface sediment while being mobilize further for overall distribution before sinking in the estuarine region. ABSTRAKAras kepekatan kromium (Cr) dan galium (Ga) telah diukur dalam jumlah pepejal terampai (TSS) dan sedimen permukaan untuk mengkaji taburan dan juga kemasukan sumber antropogenik di sepanjang Sungai Kelantan. Parameter in-situ kualiti air, sedimen permukaan dan air permukaan dikumpul dengan menggunakan YSI meter kualiti air mudah alih yang dikalibrasi, pensampel cekau ponar dan persampel air. Julat kepekatan Cr dan Ga di dalam TSS adalah dari 19-111 μg/g dan 153-3762 μg/g masing-masing, di sepanjang sungai. Manakala di sedimen permukaan pula, julat kepekatan adalah dari 16-172 μg/g untuk Cr dan 25-82 μg/g untuk Ga. Aras kepekatan yang tinggi dalam TSS adalah Ga, manakala Cr dalam sedimen menunjukkan bahawa kemasukan input antropogenik berlaku di dalam aliran sungai yang disebabkan oleh aktiviti manusia seperti penggalian pasir di sepanjang Sungai Kelantan. Bagi mobilisasi ke arah muara, Ga lebih mudah diangkut ke dalam TSS dari hulu ke hilir terutamanya semasa musim hujan. Cr adalah lebih dominan di dalam sedimen akibat keafinan ke arah unsur mineral tak organik dan mudah diskaveng di dalam turus air semasa pengebumian di atas sedimen sungai. Sebaran ruang adalah peranan yang menonjol sebagai salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi taburan di sepanjang aliran sungai dengan mengenal pasti bahawa Ga yang lebih ringan dan pelarutan Cr ke dalam sedimen permukaan ketika mobilisasi mempengaruhi taburan keseluruhan sebelum terbenam di kawasan muara.

“…There is increasing awareness of the dangers of some elements in food and the environment, lead is certainly one of the more worrying. There is a growing appreciation that this is becoming a problem due to imprudent agricultural practices [7] and industrial pollution with lead presenting a serious threat to human health [1]. Heavy metals in soil can affect quality of food [19] and plant growth.…”

“…Ingestion is one of the prime pathways for toxic elements into the human body whilst the vegetables absorb these metals through their roots from the growing soil [5]. The metal contamination in soil can come from various inputs [6] such as industrial waste, fertilisers [7], atmospheric pollution, sewage water, pesticides, and other human activities [3].…”

Excess trace metal contamination in vegetables is a growing concern globally. Plants can be contaminated by trace metals, and it is important to understand the degree of contamination and the inherent risk. Vegetables are a staple in human diets, thus knowing the level of concentration of these metals within the diet is increasingly important. This project is designed to assess levels of trace metals in vegetables using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is an analytical technique that determines unknown concentrations of elements using absorption of light from the desired elements with the aid of the working calibration curve obtained from the series of standards. Tests were done on three different commonly vegetable available in the UK to identify whether levels of trace metals fall within safe levels for human consumption. The vegetables selected were carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes. The concentration within organic vegetables did not significantly differ from the non-organic ones, though the results show, in some cases higher concentration of chromium in the potato and carrot peel. This is worthy of note from a health and nutrition perspective especially for those people that have a deficiency of these trace metals in their body or conversely wanted to manage their intake. The mean concentrations of these metals are in decreasing order of >Pb>Cr in most vegetables but in some Cr>Pb. The good thing is that the concentrations of these metals in vegetables purchased in the UK all fall below the maximum limits set by WHO/FAO and are thus considered safe for human consumption.

“…Köse et al (2014) revealed boron and arsenic pollution in one of the most important branches of the Sakarya River. Dündar & Altundağ (2018) indicated that the lower Sakarya River is polluted by beryllium and thallium. Besides, sediments were polluted by Antimony, Tin, Rhodium and Selenium.…”

Length-based estimations were evaluated in FiSAT II software. Total (Z), natural (M), fishing (Fcurr) mortality, exploitation rate (E curr) and CPUEs of all 7 species were determined. Results showed that almost all reference points stayed below the natural and fisheries mortality values. Besides overfishing, pollutants (chemical, physical and biological) and changes in the river morphology may affect the fish populations. Study results could be used for further fisheries management applications.
