“…Cadmium content were varied from 0.001 -0.012 mg/kg (dry weight).The finding of Cd bioaccumulation was similar with other results for some of the fish such as Mackerel, Milkfish and Shrimp (Arulkumar et al, 2017;Agusa et al, 2007). Meanwhile, the cadmium content of Mullet in this study relatively lower compared to study conducted by Bastami et al (2015), that reported to have range from 0.41 to 3.31 mg/kg (dry weight).…”

“…Moreover, Pb was found in the range of 0-0.161 mg/kg (dry weight). This result was much smaller compared with other studies that varied from 0.10 -14.16 mg/kg (dry weight) (Arulkumar et al, 2017;Bastami et al, 2015;Agusa et al, 2007). Based on the result, milkfish had the highest content of Pb, it related with the location of milkfish pond that closely to the land which highly contaminated with Pb in the form of transportation disposal (Susiyeti, 2010).…”

“…Generally, cadmium exposure to human population occurs mainly through two sources, the oral route through water and food, also through the inhalation (Castro-González & Méndez-Armenta, 2008). Cd is a non-essential toxic metal and has no biological activity in humans, but through food chain magnification, they will be also highly risked on Cd poisoning (Arulkumar et al, 2017;Velusamy, Satheesh Kumar, Ram, & Chinnadurai, 2014). Moreover, Pb was found in the range of 0-0.161 mg/kg (dry weight).…”

Aquatic environment of Jakarta Bay have already been highlighted due to its heavy metals contamination which may lead into food safety concern of fisheries products derived from this region. This research aimed to investigate bioaccumulation level of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and As) in fish and mussels from Jakarta Bay, as a human risk assessment of seafood consumption. Samples of mussels and fish were taken from Penjaringan, Tarumanegara, Cilincing, and Tanjung Pasir district. Bioaccumulation of heavy metals was analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma -Mass Spectrometry technique. Results of the study revealed that metals bioaccumulation in fisheries products were varied, with As (Arsenic) as the highest metal contaminant (0.68 mg/kg, dry weight). Furthermore, estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), total target hazard quotient (TTHQ), and safety limits prescribed by various agencies, showed that consumption of fisheries products from Jakarta Bay considered as relatively safe for human health in total of food ingestion rate of fish 57.34 g/day. These results are expected to serve as a baseline to construct preventive and palliative policies for food safety of fisheries products from Jakarta Bay.

“…Studies have shown that Lead has been implicated in health challenges such as fatigue, irritability, myalgia, coma, kidney, liver and brain damage seizures, encephalopathy, nervous system dysfunction and development of cancer while Cadmium is known to have caused the Itai-Itai disease in Japan as well as bone disease, anosmia, yellow discolouration of teeth and loss of olfaction abilities [9].…”

This research determined the concentration of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) in roasted corn (Zea mays), roasted plantain (Musa paradisiaca) and barbecue from roadside close to industrial and automobile emission in some selected parts of Lagos and Ota, South-West Nigeria. They were analysed after digestion by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Lead had the highest concentration in all the food type analyzed and was higher than FAO permissible limit (0.3 mg/kg) in about 92% of the samples analyzed. It was also found to be higher in the samples from Lagos than those from Ota. While Cadmium had relatively lower concentration compared with Lead in all the food samples but about 25% of the samples analyzed had higher concentration than the FAO permissible limit (0.5 mg/kg). The results showed that the order of the concentration of Lead in the food samples was corn>barbecue>plantain, while the order of the Cadmium concentration in the food samples was in the order corn>plantain>barbecue. Continual consumption of roasted corn, roasted plantain and barbecue close to highway and industrial emission may therefore constitute a source of exposure to these heavy metals.

The present study focused on different brands of chewing food products which containing some toxic metals (TMs) and essential metals and these samples were analyzed to determine the levels of some toxic metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr and Mn) and essential metals (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na and Zn). The samples of gutka (100), sweet supari (63), sweet paan (16) and paan masala (21) were randomly collected from different shops of Karachi, Pakistan. The validity of conventional wet acid digestion method (CAD) was assessed by analyzing two certified reference materials (CRM) Virgina tobacco leaf (CTA-VTL-2) and Bovine liver (1577b) and standard addition recovery test. The limit of detections (LODs, n=10) of the method were found to be 0.144, 14.4, 8.89, 2.76, 4.06, 15.3 and 2.99, 22.9, 9.97, 4.54, 1.89, 1.76 µg L -1 for Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni and Pb, respectively. The CAD method was successfully applied to real samples for the determination of toxic and essential metals.
