“…This order of zinc concentration (viscera> muscle> exoskeleton) found in MAGII is similar to most reported studies on wild shrimp species (Darmono and Denton, 1990;Mendéz et al, 1999). When the shrimp is exposed to zinc excess in polluted environment, the concentration ratio of this element increases in its body.…”

“…Some studies have reported on the influence of body size on metal accumulation (Martin, 1974;Darmono and Denton, 1990;Ruelas-Inzunza and Páez-Osuna, 2004) where cadmium seems to behave inversely to manganese in relation to their concentration in tissues and body size of the organism investigated, which increases its concentration with increasing body size, whereas the manganese tends to accumulate at higher concentrations in smaller organisms.…”

In this study, concentrations of trace elements in tissues of shrimp species (Litopenaeus vannamei) from farming and zone natural coastal located in the northeastern Brazil were investigated. The elements determination was performed by optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP OES). The following ranges of concentrations in the tissues were obtained in µg g -1 dry weight: Al: 13. . The shrimp muscle can be a good iron source (about 88.9 mg -1 g dry weight). The distribution of Se concentration in tissues showed much variation between locations, and the concentration levels found in shrimp muscles of wild samples were high, where its levels in 67% of muscle and 50% of others tissues samples exceeded the ANVISA limit, indicating evidence of selenium bioaccumulation. Distribuição de elementos traço em tecidos do camarão Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) da Bahia, Brasil ResumoEsse estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as concentrações de elementos traço em tecidos da espécie de camarão Litopenaeus vannamei coletadas da zona costeira e de carciniculturas localizadas no nordeste do Brasil. Os elementos químicos foram determinados por espectrômetro de emissão óptica com plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP OES). Foram encontradas as seguintes faixas de concentrações desses elementos nos tecidos (em mg g -1 peso seco): Al: 13,4-886,5; Cd: 0, 80; Cu: 24, Fe: 3, Mn: 0,4; Se: 0,81 and Zn: 20,4. O músculo do camarão investigado pode ser uma boa fonte de ferro (cerca de 88.9 mg-1g peso seco). A distribuição da concentração de Se nos tecidos apresentou muita variação entre as localidades, com níveis acima do estabelecido pela ANVISA para 67% dos musculos e 50% dos outros tecidos investigados, indicando evidências de bioacumulação do selênio. Houve correlações significativas entre os seguintes pares de elementos:: Fe-Zn (r= -0,70), Mn-Cu (r= -0,74), Se-Cu (r= -0,68), Se-Mn (r= 0,82) nos músculos, Fe-Al (r= 0,99), Mn-Al e Mn-Fe (r= 0,62), Se-Al (r = 0,88), Se-Fe (r= 0,87), Se-Mn (r= 0,58) no exoesqueleto e Cu-Zn (r = 0,68), Al-Cu (r= 0,88), Fe-Cu (r= 0,95) and Fe-Al (r= 0,97) nas vísceras.Palavras-chave: Baia de Todos os Santos, camarão, elementos traço, bioacumulação, ICP OES.

“…Only when they are present in greater quantities, can these, cause metabolic anomalies. Here, the boundary between the essential and the toxic effect is somewhat problematic [11]. Some elements such as Mn and Zn are essential micronutrients with a human requirement of not more than a few milligrams per day.…”

Abstract:Wheat flour is an important source of nutrient and as such is widely consumed in most part of the world, as bread and other pastries. Due to its high consumption, the presence of heavy metal at high concentration would be a significant health risk. Based on the soil in which the wheat was grown and the milling technology employed in making the flour, the heavy metal content of wheat flour varies. In analyzing heavy metal content of flour on the Ghanaian market, (one made in Ghana and another made in Turkey) an atomic absorption spectrophotometric analysis of milestone acid digested flour was used with the appropriate standards. With a 9% -100.4% recovery rate, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cd, Pb were detected at varying concentrations in both flour brands, while Co, Ni, Cu, Cr, As, Hg were below detection limits. The levels of the nutritionally important elements such as Fe and Zn would be beneficial to human health, while those of the toxic element present are not likely to pose any health risk to consumers of this flour.

“…Comparing the results of metals obtained by other authors it can be observed that levels of Fe that we have found are higher than those measured in Penaeus merguiensis (2.75-2.88 2 μg g −1 d.w.) and Penaeus monodon (9.32 2 μg g −1 d.w.) in Australia and similar to those reported for shrimps (76.5-288.45 2 μg g −1 d.w.), Penaeus setiferus (102.1 μg g −1 d.w.), Palaemon adspersus (187.79 2 μg g −1 d.w.) and P. serratus (110.7 2 μg g −1 d.w.) in Gulf of Fonseca, Gulf of Mexico and Sea of Marmara (Darmono and Denton 1990;Carbonell et al 1998;Vázquez et al 2001;Kurun et al 2007). Cu concentrations are higher than the values that have been measured in Penaeus semisulcaus (31.19 2 μg g −1 d.w.) from Saudi Arabia, shrimps from Belgium and Holland (47.25 2 and 32.4-103.5 2 μg g −1 d.w., respectively), Penaeus merguiensis and Penaeus (Sadiq et al 1982;De Clerk et al 1984;Vos et al 1986;Darmono and Denton 1990;Páez-Osuna and Ruiz-Fernández 1995;Carbonell et al 1998;Vázquez et al 2001), and similar to the values found by Kurun et al (2007) Sadiq et al 1982).…”

Trace metal concentrations (Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, Ni and V) were investigated in three rockpool shrimp species (Palaemon elegans, Palaemon adspersus and Palaemon serratus) from six littoral sampling sites (polluted and non-polluted) of Tenerife in the Canary Islands (Central Eastern Atlantic), Spain. Sex ratio for all three species has been determined: females predominate over males in all species and significant differences in total length and cephalothorax length was detected between sexes, being females larger than males. By other side, concentrations of trace metals were determined in whole specimens. Higher mean values for every metal were observed in P. adspersus. In males, higher values were observed in P. elegans and P. serratus, whereas in P. adspersus, mean values are higher in females. Finally, mean concentrations of trace metals studied were higher, in general terms, in the two clearly polluted stations: Santa Cruz of Tenerife commercial harbour and its fishery dock dependency.
