Human risk assessment of toxic elements (As, Cd, Hg, Pb) in marine fish from the Amazon

Bioaccumulation of metals and genotoxic effects in females of Colomesus asellus collected in an Amazon River estuary, Amapá, Brazil

“…Thus, Amazonian fish species are increasingly vulnerable to the exposure of different types of pollutants, especially toxic metals. Increased release of toxic metals in water bodies is mainly related to the expansion of agricultural and livestock areas, installation of hydroelectric plants, and mineral extraction (Viana et al, 2020, Araújo-Flores et al, 2021, Souza-Araujo et al, 2022, Nascimento et al, 2022. In addition, many agrochemicals have toxic metals in their composition, either as components or as contaminants, and these toxic residues do reach water resources (Ribeiro et al, 2017).…”

Covalently Functionalized Cellulose Nanoparticles for Simultaneous Enrichment of Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) Ions

“…Metals are released directly into the water or indirectly by soil and are frequently invisible [ 8 , 9 ]. Although some metals are necessary as nutrients, many of them have some degree of toxicity and have an adverse effect on the ecosystem [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Several natural phenomena and mostly anthropogenic actions, such as ore mining and processing, fossil fuel combustion and chemical industries, are the major sources of their exposure to humans [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Covalently linked mercaptoacetic acid on ZrO2 coupled cellulose nanofibers for solid phase extraction of Hg(ii): experimental and DFT studies

“…Data on the presence of contamination and accumulation rates across a variety of sea foods (sh and sea weeds) might provide crucial insights into the potential human health consequences. [8][9][10] Mercury poisoning may induce two disorders: Hunter-Russell syndrome and Minamata sickness. "Kawasaki" illness, which is similar to pink sickness and thought to be immunologically mediated, may also be caused by mercury vapor.…”
