“…These levels were lower than in the samples obtained from university students from an urban area in Poland (median from 1•8 for men up to 2•1 mg/kg for women) (26) . Hair contamination with Ni is often connected with the use of cosmetics, but also with exposure to processed food (26) ; thus, this route of exposure was unavailable for the Malagasy girls.…”

“…Although the Ni pollution in analyzed water samples was higher than admissible in both regions, the Ni concentrations in hair were 1.0 in UR and 1.8 mg/kg in RU samples. These levels were lower than in the samples obtained from university students from an urban area in Poland (median from 1.8 for men up to 2.1 mg/kg for women) (26) .

“…The rural area (RU) was Berevo, a town situated 360 km southwest of Antananarivo, close to the island west coast. The content of elements studied in the hair samples is presented in Table 2 and is compared with the data from Poland (26) , Japan (27,28) , France (29) , Turkey (30) , Sweden (31) , Italy (32) , Brazil (33) , Spain (34) , India (35) , China (18) and Egypt (16,36) . Visible dispersion of results in the two studied population was noted.…”

Concentration of selected elements in the hair of Madagascar girls in relation to nutritional status and place of residence

et al. 2021

Although the children malnutrition in Madagascar and the environmental pollution of this country has been widely discussed, there is no research on the differences in toxic elements accumulation in human body in dependence on nutritional status of Malagasy. Nine elements concentration (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sn and Sb) was determined in scalp hair of 103 schoolgirls (8–15 years old), living in two areas: urban - close to Antananarivo (UR) and rural Berevo region (RU). Samples were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer. The nutritional status was evaluated by Cole’s Index. Underweight was related to higher accumulation of Al, Cd, and Cr in the hair girls, and more common among girls living in RU than UR region (42% vs 28%). Two-factor analysis of variance showed differences in the Al and Cr content in the girls’ hair depending both on their place of residence and nutritional status. This indicates additional consequence of malnutrition to the girls development and health.

Hymenaea martiana Hayne belongs to the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae) and presents the popular name of jatobá. It is a tree that demonstrates medicinal purposes and represents a food source in Brazil. The potential contribution of each species to recommended nutrient intakes (DRI) and Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) for children and adults were calculated. A comparison between the quantified contents of micro- and macronutrients Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, S, and Zn in leaves tea and tea of the bark of this plant was made with the recommendation of FDA and ANVISA. General safety regarding metal content (Na, K, Ca, Fe, Zn, and Ni) and nonmetal (P) was assured as none of them exceed the safety limit of the daily intake. However, the content of Mn observed in the teas of H. martiana Hayne is above the UL for tolerable intake level for children aged 1-6 years. There are no limits established for the UL of Cr and S for children and adults. The data on quantification of mineral concentration in the species Hymenaea martiana Hayne obtained can serve as a tool to decide the dosage of preparations from this plant used for medicinal purposes.

“…A significant association was found between high Pb and Cd levels in the hair of 6-year-old preschool children and household drinking water hardness (Barton 2011). HSHA has also been used as a biomarker in the assessment of heavy metal exposure in children living in three different towns in northern Attica, near the banks of the Kifissos River (Evrenoglou et al 2013), and to investigate nickel exposure from various sources (Michalak et al 2012). The presence of manganese was reported in the hairs of adults exposed to industrial emissions in Brazil, with detrimental neuropsychological effects (De Sousa Viana et al 2014).…”

The monitoring of heavy metals in industrialized areas to study their association with different occupational and environmental factors is carried out in different ways. In this study, scalp hair analysis was used for the assessment of exposure to these metals in the industrial city of Taranto, characterized by a severe environmental pollution. The highest median values were observed for aluminum, barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, and uranium. Moreover, in the industrial area of Taranto, high levels of barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, and silver were observed in comparison with other Apulia areas. The risk odds ratios (ORs) for observing values above the 50th percentile were elevated for mercury and fish consumption, uranium and milk consumption, lead and female sex, and aluminum and mineral water consumption. No significant increased risk was observed for occupational activities. In a dendrogram of a cluster analysis, three clusters were observed for the different areas of Taranto (Borgo, San Vito, and Statte). A scree plot and score variables plot underline the presence of two principal components: the first regarding antimony, lead, tin, aluminum and silver; the second regarding mercury and uranium. The observed clusters (Borgo, San Vito, and Statte) showed that lead, antimony, tin, aluminum, and silver were the main component. The highest values above the 50th percentile of these minerals, especially lead, were observed in the Borgo area. The observed metal concentration in the Borgo area is compatible with the presence in Taranto of a military dockyard and a reported increase of lung cancer risk among residents of that area.
