Se cuantificaron las concentraciones de Hg, Zn, Cd, Pb y Cu en el músculo de cuatro especies de pescado en función de los métodos de cocción; identificando riesgos potenciales a la salud de las poblaciones de La Mojana. Mediante amalgamación y espectroscopias de absorción atómica, de llama y en horno de grafito. Los metales más acumulados fueron Zn y Cu. La especie Cyphocharax magdalenae mostró las mayores concentraciones medias de Zn (8,79 ± 1,70 µg/g-1), Prochilodus magdalenae acumuló más Cd (0,067 ± 0,082µg/g-1) y Pb (0, 621 ± 0,577 µg/g-1), Caquetaia kraussii y Sorubim cuspicaudus presentaron las mayores concentraciones medias de Hg (0,388 ± 0,519 µg/g-1) y Cu (5,55 ± 5,49 µg/g-1). Los métodos de cocción guisado y frito para Hg y Zn en S. cuspicaudus, C. magdalenae y P. magdalenae mostraron diferencias significativas en las concentraciones finales. El análisis multivariable de PCA y CA jerárquico en los métodos de cocción sugiere dos grandes agrupaciones en el comportamiento y patrones de acumulación de metales: Hg y subgrupos (Cd-Pb) - (Cu-Zn). Los índices HI para el conjunto de métodos de cocción y especies mostraron un alto riesgo para la salud de la población debido a la exposición a Hg, Cd, Zn, Pb y Cu, por consumo de las especies estudiadas.

“…Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are among the groups of elements that have no recognized biological function in living organisms and are established to be toxic even at low levels [1]. These metals are broadly spread in the aquatic environment, typically from human activities, although as components of the earth's crust, they may also occur naturally at very low concentrations [2].…”

This study evaluated levels and seasonal patterns of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in sediment, water, and mudskippers (Periophthalmus argentilineatus) from urban rivers in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The samples were seasonally collected from 15 locations, treated as appropriate, and analyzed instrumentally. The study intended to establish contamination levels, identify hotspots, and assess ecological and human health risks. The results indicated that Cd concentrations were lower than Pb in all the sample matrices. In water samples, Pb levels (0.7 to 24.0 mg/L, n = 30, mean = 7.2 ± 6.5) were higher than both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Tanzanian Bureau of Standards limits, whereas Cd was below the detection limit. In sediment samples, both the Pb concentrations (9.0 to 159.3 mg/kg, n = 30, mean = 44.7 ± 36.6) and the Cd concentrations (0.03 to 0.82 mg/kg, n = 30, mean = 0.24 ± 0.14) exceeded sediment quality guidelines for the protection of aquatic life. The mudskipper samples contained levels below the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and WHO maximum permissible limits. This indicated that they were safe for human consumption. Metal concentrations in water and sediments were lower during the dry season than in the wet season, probably owing to contaminated runoff from land-use practices during the wet season, whereas the mudskipper samples showed the opposite pattern. Determination of the potential contamination index (PCI) in samples enabled the identification of two hotspots that may need intervention. Evaluation of chronic daily intake (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ), and hazard index (HI) implied minimal health risks. Contamination of the rivers by these toxic metals, be it in low concentrations, is an issue of concern.

“…In Brazil, heavy metal pollution is not limited to the Amazon region. Some human and animal populations from Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost Brazilian state, show high levels of heavy metals, potentially due to the inappropriate use of pesticides in this region economically dependent on cash crop plantations [ [40] , [41] , [42] ]. Also, the presence of heavy metals in Brazilian metropolises [ 43 ] and beaches [ 44 ] threatens humans and ecosystems.…”

“…Also, the presence of heavy metals in Brazilian metropolises [ 43 ] and beaches [ 44 ] threatens humans and ecosystems. These pieces of evidence show that problems caused by heavy metal contamination affect different Brazilian biomes in addition to the Amazon Forest, including Atlantic Forest and Pampa biomes [ 42 , 43 ].…”
