“…Keshavarzi et al (2018) described a range level of Cd (1.37-3.14 mg/kg) in Anodontostoma chacunda, and Cynoglossurs arel from the Musa estuary Mahshahr harbor, Iran (Persian Gulf). Saadatmand et al (2022) found the level of Cu (8.62 mg/kg) in Siganus javus from the Persian Gulf. All these studies showed the possibility of heavy metal contamination in marine sh.…”

Due to the presence of metalloids and toxic metals such as cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc in sh tissue, it may endanger health considering the countless bene ts of consuming sh, which can harm the human body if consumed in toxic amounts. Therefore, it is vital to monitor the concentration of metals in sh meat to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and, protect the consumer. We considered the levels of Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd in 60 marine sh samples (3 species) collected from coastal areas of the northwestern coast of the Persian Gulf and estimated their health risk. Mean concentrations of Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd were 1.88±0.07, 27.16±8.11, 11.55±4.12, 14±0.06, and 0.19 ± 0.03 µg/g wet weight. Estimated average daily intakes (EDIs) for adults and children of Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb,51 and 0.09-0.42 μg/kg bw/day. Considering that there are different levels of certain elements in marine sh in the Persian Gulf, this study provides suggestions for risk management and a scienti c basis for food safety assessment.

“…Industrial activities such as oil and gas production, petrochemical plants, power plants, and shipyards are among the primary sources of PTEs in this region [9,10]. These industries may release PTEs such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn into surrounding water bodies via direct effluent discharge or atmospheric deposition [11]. Furthermore, crude oil and natural gas deposits may contain PTEs such as Pb, Cd, and Cu, which can be mobilized during drilling, transportation, and refining processes [12].…”

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of sediment texture along with geochemical variation, potential sources, and ecological risk assessment of major elements and trace metals in the bottom sediments of Iranian territorial waters situated in the northeast Persian Gulf. To achieve this, diverse laboratory methods, GIS techniques, statistical analyses, and index analysis approaches were employed. Over 50% of the sediment particles are mud, while one-third are sand-sized particles, primarily composed of skeletal fragments. The sediment’s elements concentrations were ranked in descending order as Ca > Al > Fe > Sr > Mn > Ba > Cr > Ni > V > Zn > Cu > Pb > As > Co > Mo > Cd. Cluster analysis revealed strong correlations among Al-Ni-Cr-V, Cd-Cu-Zn-Pb, Ba-Fe, silt-clay, and Ca-Sr. Calcium and strontium showed extremely severe enrichment due to high content of carbonate matter. Arsenic and Mo were significantly enriched, while Ba, V, Co, Zn, and Cu demonstrated moderate enrichment. Nevertheless, all the sampling stations were classified as having zero to very low levels of contamination, indicating a low potential ecological risk. Arsenic emerged as the primary contributor to the ecological risk index. Notably, no strong correlation was found between As, Mo, and other elements, indicating that As and Mo likely originate from distinct sources.
