“…Human health risk assessment due to metal exposure is widely used to assess the potential risk of water pollution (Hassouna et al, 2019;Liu & Ma 2020), fish (Goher et al, 2015;Talab et al, 2016), and sediment (Arisekar et al, 2020;Armah & Gyeabour, 2013). The risk to humans due to the polluted sediment occurs by dermal absorption and accidental ingestion (Luo et al, 2012).…”

“…Alternatively, the quality and pollution indices are widely used to evaluate the quality status and contamination of water (Goher et al, 2014a;El Sayed et al, 2020;Liu & Ma, 2020) and sediments (Abd El-Aal et al, 2020;Arisekar et al, 2020;Imam et al, 2020) to determine the potential risk that may be posed to humans.…”

“…Anthropogenic stressors such as intensification of water use, overexploitation of hydrobiological resources, nutrient inputs, hydrological stress, dumping of agricultural, urban and industrial waste, in addition to natural stressors, are generating negative effects on these ecosystems 1 , 2 . Contamination of aquatic ecosystems by heavy metals, such as Cd, Pb, Hg and Ni, is a widespread concern due to their toxicity, persistence, non-degradability and tendency to accumulate in their various compartments 3 – 5 . In sediments, microbiota play a fundamental role in the biogeochemical transformations of nutrients and contaminants, and mediate the uptake, accumulation, release and transfer of heavy metals 6 – 9 .…”

The cumulative effects of anthropogenic stress on freshwater ecosystems are becoming increasingly evident and worrisome. In lake sediments contaminated by heavy metals, the composition and structure of microbial communities can change and affect nutrient transformation and biogeochemical cycling of sediments. In this study, bacterial and archaeal communities of lake sediments under fish pressure contaminated with heavy metals were investigated by the Illumina MiSeq platform. Despite the similar content of most of the heavy metals in the lagoon sediments, we found that their microbial communities were different in diversity and composition. This difference would be determined by the resilience or tolerance of the microbial communities to the heavy metal enrichment gradient. Thirty-two different phyla and 66 different microbial classes were identified in sediment from the three lagoons studied. The highest percentages of contribution in the differentiation of microbial communities were presented by the classes Alphaproteobacteria (19.08%), Cyanophyceae (14.96%), Betaproteobacteria (9.01%) y Actinobacteria (7.55%). The bacteria that predominated in sediments with high levels of Cd and As were Deltaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Coriobacteriia, Nitrososphaeria and Acidobacteria (Pomacocha), Alphaproteobacteria, Chitinophagia, Nitrospira and Clostridia (Tipicocha) and Betaproteobacteria (Tranca Grande). Finally, the results allow us to expand the current knowledge of microbial diversity in lake sediments contaminated with heavy metals and to identify bioindicators taxa of environmental quality that can be used in the monitoring and control of heavy metal contamination.

“…Many studies are conducted to investigate the migration of contaminants from the environment to food, and finally to human beings. For example, it is reported that heavy metals in the aquatic environment can migrate into fishes via bioaccumulation and bioconcentration (Baki et al 2018 ; Korkmaz et al 2019 ; Arisekar et al 2020 ). When these polluted fishes are consumed, the heavy metals will migrate into human bodies (Saha et al 2016 ; Gholamhosseini et al 2021 ).…”

Environment protection and food safety are two critical issues in the world. In this review, a novel approach which integrates statistical study and subjective discussion was adopted to review recent advances on environment and food safety. Firstly, a scientometric-based statistical study was conducted based on 4904 publications collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. It was found that the research on environment and food safety was growing steadily from 2001 to 2020. Interestingly, the statistical analysis of most-cited papers, titles, abstracts, keywords, and research areas revealed that the research on environment and food safety was diverse and multidisciplinary. In addition to the scientometric study, strategies to protect environment and ensure food safety were critically discussed, followed by a discussion on the emerging research topics, including emerging contaminates (e.g., microplastics), rapid detection of contaminants (e.g., biosensors), and environment friendly food packaging materials (e.g., biodegradable polymers). Finally, current challenges and future research directions were proposed. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11356-021-16069-6.
