“…Without considering the nutrient elements (Zn and Cu), Pb (accounts for nearly 50% of the total target hazard quotient) was the major contributor of non-carcinogenic risk to the inhabitant in fish muscle. This conclusion shows a consistency with the results in previous studies [ 14 , 44 , 54 ].…”

Heavy metals and metalloid distribution in different organs and health risk assessment for edible tissues of fish captured from Honghu Lake

et al. 2017

Honghu Lake is the seventh largest freshwater lake in China, and fishery is one of the most important economic sources for local inhabitants. Toxic metal concentrations in muscle of all analyzed fish species captured from Honghu Lake were generally below China standards, except Cr in crucian carp. The average concentrations were decreased in the following order, Zn (14.65 mg/kg) > Cr (1.25 mg/kg) > Cu (0.5994 mg/kg) > Pb (0.0884 mg/kg) > Cd (0.0069 mg/kg) > As (0.0007 mg/kg). There was no significant health risk in consuming fish captured from Honghu Lake, based on the analysis results of target hazard quotient (THQ), carcinogenic risk (CR), and estimated weekly intake (EWI). Mixed edible fish tissues consuming brought higher carcinogenic risks than muscle consuming. Pb was regarded as the major contributor of potential non-carcinogenic risk, while As of the potential carcinogenic risk. THQ set the most stringent allowed values of the average consuming amount of fish muscle at 1,316 g/d, while CR set the value of mixed fish tissues at 525 g/d.

“…The Cu concentrations in the oyster of all ports were found to be higher than the USEPA (provisional tolerable intake) 53 standard (0.05 mg/kg) and FAO standard quality guidelines for bivalve mollusks (20 mg/kg) 51 . The highest concentration of Cu was detected at port Yamba (61 mg/kg), which is significantly above the standards and is identified as unsafe food 54 . Cu enrichment in the oysters at port Botany, Kembla, Newcastle and Yamba comparing to their background sites advocates the impacts of port activities which are associated with trade of coal, steel products, crude oil, fossil fuels, chemicals, fertilizers, mineral sands, preservative chemicals from wood chips and storage of hazardous products in the port vicinity 37 .…”

In this study Sydney rock oysters (S. glomerata) from six major sea ports of NSW, Australia were used as bioindicators to assess the distribution and levels of trace element accumulation in the ports. Substantial enrichment of Cu, Pb and Zn in the oysters of the sea ports were detected when compared to their background samples and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) provisional tolerable intake standard. Enrichment of As, Al, Fe, Mn, Br, Sr were also found in the oysters at the port areas. The bioconcentration ratios of the trace elements illustrated significant Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Mn, Al, Pb and Cr accumulation in S. glomerate. The biota sediment accumulation factor suggested Cu, Mn and Zn accumulation at two of the ports (Port Yamba and Botany), indicating availability of these metals in the oysters as strong metal accumulators. In addition, integrated metal contamination illustrated notable Fe, Zn, Cu and Al contamination at port environment, whereas cluster analysis portrayed interconnection between the contaminants and the study sites.

“…Rajid species are oviparous and the embryonic development occurs in egg case laid by females, consequently the origin of pre-natal abnormalities would be related to mutation or other developmental irregularities, and the role of unfavourable conditions such as large exposure to pollutants cannot be totally ruled out (Ribeiro-Prado et al 2008). The study area, Izmir Bay and its vicinity, has large harbours, ship dismantling areas (i.e., Aliaga coast), and Gediz River delta, therefore, a significant enrichment in trace metals in sediments is regularly reported (Kucuksezgin et al 2006, Kucuksezgin 2009, Pazi et al 2017. Additionally, trace metals can decrease the collagen synthesis, cause protoplasmic poisoning, and change the integrity of bones (Iguchi andSano 1982, Jawad et al 2017).…”
