“…These calculations are based on the assumption that the ingested dose is equal to the absorbed dose (USEPA 1989). The EDI depends on the metal concentrations in the edible macrophyte species, the daily consumption amount, and the average body weight of consumers (Song et where C m = concentration of metal in the edible plant, IR = ingestion rate, which is assumed to be 0.1 kg/day per adult, and BW = body weight of consumer, assumed to be 70 kg for an adult (Alhashemi et al 2012;Janadeleh and Kameli 2017). The THQ is an estimate of the non-carcinogenic risk level due to metal exposure (Javed and Usmani 2016; Elhaddad et al 2022).…”

“…Aquatic plants and macrophytes take up and accumulate most of these contaminants through their roots and shoots due to their fast growth and high biomass (Bonanno and Lo Giudice 2010; Matache et al 201; Singh et al 2017). Although this helps in the puri cation of the water by lowering the concentrations of the pollutants in the water column (Janadeleh and Kameli 2017), but exposure to these edible macrophytes can cause many detrimental health effects on environmental biota. Aquatic plants have also been used as indicators of pollution in many cases to assess wetland pollution (Zayed et al 1998;Zhu et al 1999;Kamal et al 2004;Souza et al 2013).…”

A comprehensive assessment was conducted to evaluate the accumulation of selected heavy metals and nutrients in 10 dominant macrophyte species growing in the Loktak Lake, a Ramsar site, and to assess the potential health risks associated with the consumption of the edible plants. The concentrations of nutrients such as total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and heavy metals such as copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) were measured, and found to be present in the order of plant > sediment > water. The bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) revealed high e ciency of most plants to accumulate heavy metals and nutrients in their tissues from the lake water and sediments, indicating their potential to be used as phytoremediators. Translocation factors (TFs) were also estimated to determine the e ciency of the plants to translocate elements from root to shoot. Colocasia esculenta and Polygonum perfoliatum were found to exhibit the highest BAF and TF values for most of the parameters. Target hazard quotients (THQs) revealed potential health risk associated with one or more heavy metals in the plants, except for Zn whose THQ values were below the level of concern in all the edible plant species. The hazard index (HI) signifying potential non-carcinogenic health risk from the combined effects of all the heavy metals was found to be highest for Polygonum perfoliatum, indicating a potentially higher risk to health if this edible macrophyte is regularly consumed in higher quantities and may pose long-term health effects to the exposed population.

“…Expansion of industrial activities and urbanization contaminate the ecosystem with a huge load of pollutants. Metals are one of the main threats to wildlife and human health as well, especially their ability to be biomagnified through the food chain (Janadeleh and Kameli, 2017;Ali and Khan, 2019). Lead (Pb) is present naturally in the Earth's crust in small amounts, but its distribution increased in the environment due to anthropogenic activities, industrial expansion, and urbanization (Levin et al, 2008).…”

Anthropogenic contamination is spreading through every environment on the planet that affects the whole biota. Negative effects have been observed recently in a number of taxa, including birds. Birds are crucial as bioindicators as one of the best studied groups of organisms because they are noticeable, relatively simple to observe, and the subject of public interest and concern. Therefore, evaluation of lead (Pb) levels in the liver, muscle, kidney, and feathers of laughing dove (Streptopelia senegalensis), Egyptian barn swallow (Hirundo rustica savignii), and house sparrow (Passer domesticus niloticus) was done. These bird species, which live in the coastal region of Damietta, have various feeding routines, habitat preferences, and mating strategies. In both the breeding and nonbreeding seasons, these wild birds were collected. Measurement of the levels of lead (Pb) in their liver, kidney, muscle, and feathers were evaluated. The results showed that females of laughing doves and barn swallows had significantly higher Pb concentrations than males, while males of house sparrows accumulated significantly higher Pb concentrations than females. This could be attributed to the active food search in both female laughing doves and swallows, and male sparrows. House sparrows, with the widest range of distribution near main roads, showed the highest concentration of Pb, especially in the liver, kidney, and feather than laughing doves and swallows, which prefer the wild rural areas. Histological examination of the gonads revealed unhealthy testes and ovaries. The ovarian tissue was less impacted than the testicular tissue, especially during the nonbreeding season. Compared to the dove and swallow, the sparrow's gonadal architectural histopathological findings were more noticeable. It seems that testes are more affected and more related to the results of lead measurements, and can be used as a bioindicator for heavy metal pollution. The findings offer also some proof of the house sparrow's potential as a biomonitor for urban heavy metal pollution. This research emphasises the significance of using biomonitors from various habitat types and feeding guilds.
