“…The mean As level attained in both species ( Table 7 ) was consistently lower than the concentration in the crustacean, Squilla mantis ( Bonsignore et al., 2018 ). Similarly, the mean As level (mg kg −1 ww) found in F. virilis (1.06), and P. a. acutus (0.78) were lower than the average levels (34.6 ± 12.2 mg kg −1 ) achieved in the crustacean Parapenaeus longirostris ( Traina et al., 2019 ) and shrimp, Penaeus semisulcatus muscle (1.40 μg g −1 ; Shalini et al., 2020 ), and two crayfish species (2.6–13.9 μg g −1 ; Hull et al., 2021 ). Nevertheless, the As content in the species (this study) were more than ten-fold lower than the maximal found in Astacus leptodactylus ( Varol and Sünbül, 2017 ), the average concentration reported for P. longirostris ( Traina et al., 2019 ), and below the iAs limit (2 ppm; FSANZ, 2013 ).…”

“…THQ values (this study), being below 1, followed the same trend as those of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, As, and Cr exposure from cultured P. clarkia ( Xiong et al., 2020 ). Further, insignificant non-cancer health risk due to As exposure in the adult population was observed in crayfish ( Pacifastacus leniusculus; P. clarkii ) from three lakes in the Puget Sound lowland region (WA, USA; Hull et al., 2021 ).…”

Farmed crustaceans are an important component in addressing the rising animal protein demand. The present study determined the concentrations of fourteen elements (Ag, As, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Sn, Pb, and Zn) in the edible abdominal muscle of cultured freshwater crayfish species ( Faxonius virilis; Procambarus acutus acutus ) from Missouri. Also, this paper describes the dietary intake and the human health risks from the consumption of crayfish muscle in the adult population. Overall, 172 animals were captured between February 2017 and January 2018 for assessment. Concentrations of metals (Ag, Be, Cd, Cu, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, Mo, and Zn) and metalloid (As) in the muscle tissue were determined after microwave-assisted acid digestion by ICP - OES. Health indices (EDI/EWI: estimated daily/weekly intakes; THQ: target hazard quotient; TTHQ: total target hazard quotient; ILCR: incremental lifetime cancer risk; and ∑ILCR: cumulative lifetime cancer risk) were calculated and compared to thresholds. Of all samples, the highest concentrations (mg kg −1 wet weight) of metal(loid)s in muscle were Ag (0.11), As (3.15), Be (0.21), Cd (0.11), Co (0.32), Cr (1.22), Cu (107), Fe (23.0), Mn (8.54), Mo (0.62), Ni (2.65), Pb (1.76), Sn (5.91), and Zn (19.2). In both species, the average As, Cd, and Zn concentrations were below the legal limits. However, the levels of Cu, Pb, and As, in some samples, were in exceedance of the maximum levels. In both species, a significant correlation (p < 0.05) was observed between the carapace length (CL) and animal body weight (BW). In P. acutus , CL, BW, and animal total length were homogenous (p > 0.05) among the sexes. Non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test results indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) in the levels of As, Be, and Zn in F. virilis , and Be and Cr in P. a. acutus among the genders. Significant inter-species differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the levels of Be, Ni, and Pb and the growth factors. The EDI/EWI values were below the permissible limits. THQ and TTHQ values, being below 1.0, indicated no probabilistic health risk. Regarding carcinogenic risk, only As and Ni indicated cancer risk (ILCR >10 −5 and ∑ILCR >10 −5 ) to the adult population. High metals/metalloid exposure from crayfish muscle consumption posed potential health hazards to the adult population.

“…The mean concentration of micro nutrient boron (B) in wild honey samples was 18.98 ± 14.98 μg/kg and whereas in apiary honey samples the mean concentration was 40.75 ± 56.28 μg/kg (Table 4). Arsenic (As) is a potential mobile toxic element which biomagnifies through food chain and causes several symptoms like acute poisoning, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and neuro-developmental disorders [81,82]. The highest and lowest concentration in wild honey samples was 227.771 μg/ kg (Bidya Range-HW1) and < BDL (below detection level) with mean concentration of 77.17 Cobalt (Co) is a metal constituent of vitamin B12, whose excessive exposure causes several clinical syndromes like cardiovascular and respiratory impairment and neurological and endocrine deficits [86,87].…”

Honey is a natural substance produced by honeybees from the nectar or secretion of flowering plants. Along with the botanical and geographical origin, several environmental factors also play a major role in determining the characteristics of honey. The aim of this study is to determine and compare the elemental concentration of various macro and trace elements in apiary and wild honeys collected from different parts of Indian Sundarbans. The elemental analysis was performed in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy preceded by microwave digestion method. The concentrations of 19 elements (Ag,

Poison in the water: Arsenic's silent assault on fish health

Arsenic occurs across the world in freshwater and marine environments, menacing the survival of aquatic organisms. Organic and inorganic forms of this substance can be found, in which the inorganic form is more hazardous than the organic form. Most aquatic bodies contain inorganic arsenic species, but organic species are believed to be the dominant form of arsenic in the majority of fish. Natural and anthropogenic both are the sources of water contamination with arsenic. Its bioaccumulation and transfer from one trophic level to another in the aquatic food chain make arsenic a vital environmental issue. Continuous exposure to low concentrations of arsenic in aquatic organisms including fish leads to its bioaccumulation, which may affect organisms of higher trophic levels including large fishes or humans. Humans can be exposed to arsenic through the consumption of fish contaminated with arsenic. Hence, the present review facilitates our understanding about sources of arsenic, its bioaccumulation, food chain transfer, and its effect on the fish health. Also, “Poison in the Water: Arsenic's Silent Assault on Fish Health” serves as a wake‐up call to recognize the pressing need to address arsenic contamination in water bodies. By understanding its devastating impact on fish health, we can strive to implement sustainable practices and policies that safeguard our precious aquatic environments and ensure the well‐being of both wildlife and human communities that depend on them.
