“…For nuts, many previous research had focused on investigation, determination and bioavailability assessment of essential elements . The only previous report showed that the HQs were assessed for pistachio nut consumptions for As (0.045) and Cr (0.0078) . In our previous report, the risk assessment of dietary intake of five THMs through walnut consumption for adults and children were investigated .…”

BACKGROUND Toxic heavy metals (THMs) cause severe environmental hazards and threaten human health through various consumption of food stuff. However, little is known of THMs in chestnuts. In this study, the risk assessment and prediction of THMs [lead (Pb), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg)] in chestnuts and growth soils from China were investigated. RESULTS The main detected THMs in chestnuts and growth soils were As and Cd. The total pollution levels of the five THMs (Nemerow pollution indexes, NPIs) were 0.062 and 1.06, respectively. The dietary risks for children were higher than those of adults, especially short‐term non‐carcinogenic risk. The main combined risks from the relationships between THMs were Pb‐Cr (r = 0.85, P < 0.01) in chestnuts and Pb‐As (r = 0.59, P < 0.01) in growth soils. The risk source was found to be the uptake effect of THMs from soil to chestnut, with the highest bioaccumulation factors (BCFs) of Cd (0.254). Several comprehensive risk models were established with the highest coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.79. In addition, the main contribution rates of different soil parameters to comprehensive risk of THMs uptake were 49.8% (Cd), 23.4% (pH), 13.8% (Cr) and 13.0% (organic carbon). CONCLUSION The total pollution levels of THMs fell outside of the safety domain in growth soils. Furthermore, more attention needs to be paid to Cd pollution owing to its low environment background value and high accumulation ability. Three main soil parameters (Cr content, pH, organic carbon) played important roles in the formations and accumulations of THMs in chestnuts. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…The contamination in soil and water can transfer to the food chain and bioaccummulate in body. Human exposure to heavy metals occurs through consumption of contaminated water or food 4,5 , or through respiration by inhaling atmospheric particles enriched with heavy metals. Accumulation of the heavy metals in body even at trace levels causes neurological disorders, hormone imbalance, cardiovascular failure, kidney diseases, infertility, hair loss, endocrine disorders, respiratory and digestive problems, and cancer [6][7][8] .…”

Jazmurian playa was an ephemeral lake with a large catchment in southeast iran, which dried up over the last 10 years as a result of prolonged drought. As the lake was recipient of incoming industrial water with trace metals deposited to the sediment, the dust is the cause of environmental concern of the region and requires evaluation and better management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the environmental and ecological pollution of Jazmurian playa. Hence, 24 collected surface sedimentary samples were analyzed with ICP-OES. The environmental pollution indices including degree of contamination (cd), geoaccumulation index (igeo), enrichment factor (ef), pollution load index (PLI) and potential ecological risk (PER) were determined. The study revealed moderately to strongly pollution levels of pb, ni and Al, while Dy, pb, Y, Yb, Sm, te, U, cu, Mn, Sc represented moderate pollution. The EF values indicated four sites were highly enriched with Dy, Pb and Ni. The PER results showed high risk for four sites and considerable risk for others. Cluster analysis illustrated interconnection between the contaminants and the sites with major pollution at six sites. Obviously, climate change has considerable complex environmental impacts through transformation of local water and sediment pollution problem.

“…Due to its highly favorable taste, nutritional value, and health promoting composition, it is consumed worldwide as a snack (fresh or roasted and salted), pistachio halva, pistachio milk, pistachio butter, etc. Furthermore, pistachio is normally used as an ingredient in cakes, confectionery products, biscuits, candies, ice creams and chocolates [28,31]. Pistachio contains various essential nutrients that can contribute to a healthy diet [10].…”

We studied the biological activity of Pis v 1 (2S albumin) and Pis v 2.0101 (11S globulin) against Coxsackie viruses (CV) B2, B3, B4 and B5 as well as their cytotoxicity against six cell lines. Results showed that the two allergens of pistachio significantly reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against four Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria as well as two fungi. Moreover, they exerted significant in vitro cytotoxic activities against Human ovarian carcinoma (A2780), human colon carcinoma (HTC), human glioblastoma (U-87-MG), human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), and human prostate cell lines (PC3 and DU-145). Our findings revealed that the highest antimicrobial effect of the allergens was found against M. loteus (MIC = 10 µg/mL). The lowest IC 50 value was found for Pis v 2.0101 allergen (11S globulin) against CV-B4 (30.20 ± 1.01 µg/mL). Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicity assay showed IC 50 values ranging from 21.09 ± 0.55 to 34.52 ± 0.90 and 26.34 ± 0.88 to 38.63 ± 0.80 µg/mL for Pis v 2.0101 (11S globulin) and Pis v 1 (2S albumin), respectively. As these allergens presented considerable effects against biofilm-related infections, CV-B2-5, and several cell lines, they might be employed as alternative/complementary treatments after further preclinical and clinical studies.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
