“…In addition, the accumulation of trace metals in common freshwater fish species (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and the potential health risk due to frequent consumption by a human are reported in a recent study (Maruf et al 2021). Although the concentration of heavy metals was below the hazard level in the studied fish species, prolonged consumption of contaminated fish may lead to widespread chronic carcinogenesis and other health complexities (Hasan et al 2020). In contrast, a hazardous concentration of copper was detected in giant freshwater prawns from the Buriganga River in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh (Ahmed et al 2015a).…”

“…As a result, almost all freshwater rivers are polluted with heavy metals from industrial effluents (Kibria et al 2016). Among the studied rivers, Buriganga, a major river near Dhaka, was heavily polluted with heavy metals, followed by other urban rivers (e.g., Dhaleshwari River), while tracing elements accumulated in vegetables through irrigation with contaminated river water (Ratul et al 2018;Hasan et al 2020). Similarly, the variability of the water quality of other major rivers including transboundary streams of such as the Ganges for Indian subcontinents, and Halda for Bangladesh were also dominated by the abundance of toxic heavy metals Islam et al 2020;Haque et al 2020).…”

River water is very much important for domestic, agriculture and industrial use in Bangladesh which is in critical condition from long time based on research data. During last 40 years, extreme pollution events occurred in peripheral rivers surrounding Dhaka city and Karnaphuli River in Chittagong city. Present data showed that other urban rivers are also in critical condition especially Korotoa, Teesta, Rupsha, Pashur and Padma. The pollutants flowing with water made a severe pollution in downstream areas of rivers. Metals concentrations in river water was found to be higher in dry season. Dissolve oxygen (DO) was nearly zero in Buriganga River and several points in Turag, Balu, Sitalakhya and Karnaphuli River. NO 3 - , NO 2 - and PO 4 3- pollution occurred in different rivers. Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, Ni, Mn, As and Cr concentration was above drinking water standard in most of the river and some metals was even above irrigation standard in water from several rivers. Sediment data showed very much higher metal concentrations in most of the rivers especially peripheral rivers in Dhaka and Karnaphuli, Korotoa, Teesta, Rupsha and Meghna River. Metal concentrations in sediment was above US EPA threshold value in most of the rivers. Metal concentrations in fish and agricultural crops showed that bioaccumulations of metals had occurred. The concentration of metals showed the trend like: water

“…Accuracy and precision of the constructed calibration curves were checked by analyzing the spectrum of DORM-2 (National Research Council, Canada) dogfish muscle (prepared and analyzed as for the real samples) following the procedure reported in Hasan et al 15 . The precision was found to be 3-5%, accuracy of < 5%, and recovery percentage of the standard reference materials in the range 94-106% (Table 1).…”

As a cheap source of high-quality protein, healthy fats and essential nutrients, dried fish is a common item in the daily diet of the Bangladesh populace. In this study, ten types of widely consumed dried fish (H. neherius, T. lepturu, P.chinensis, P. affinis, A. mola, P. microdon, I. megaloptera, C. dussumieri, L. calcarifer, and G. chapra) were analyzed for Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb, Hg, Pb, Ni and As by using an Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique. The concentration of the studied metals was found in the order Fe > Zn > Hg > Cu > Se > Cr > Mn > Co > Rb > Pb, while As and Ni were below the limit of detection. All fish species showed moderate to high pollution, where the species H. Neherius and P. Chinensis are the most and least polluted ones, respectively. The probable source of contamination is the leaching from the drying pans into the fish samples, atmospheric deposition, anthropogenic contamination, etc. of the water body where these fish were harvested. The calculated hazard index for the general population was below the maximum limiting value (i.e., < 1) except for Hg to children. The carcinogenic risk showed values lower than the acceptable limit for cancer risks (10–6 to 10–4). Periodic monitoring of trace metals in the aquatic organisms along with fish is recommended to avoid any unexpected health hazards caused by the toxic heavy metals via fish consumption.
