Summary: This study determined the levels of selenium, fatty acids (DHA + EPA), and mercury in various fishery products and found that selenium intake was below recommended values, while mercury intake was below the reference dose. By considering multiple factors, the risk for consumers was found to be below one percent, indicating that fishery products are still healthy food items.

Summary: Although the bioaccumulation of metals in bivalves from the Gulf of California has been reported, there is still limited understanding of the risks associated with their consumption. This study investigated the species-specific and regional accumulation of metals in bivalves, evaluated the human health risks, and established the maximum allowable consumption rates. The results indicate that consuming bivalves from the Gulf of California is safe for human health.

Summary: In this study, concentrations of aluminium, cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, and zinc in muscle and liver tissues of Siganus javus captured in Negombo estuary in the Indo-Pacific region were evaluated. The results showed that zinc was the most abundant metal in both tissues. Potential health risks associated with dietary exposure to these metals were assessed, and it was found that cadmium and lead posed non-cancer health risks to heavy consumers. Additionally, moderate consumption of cadmium was associated with carcinogenic health risks.

Summary: This paragraph illustrates the basic requirements of the European Union regarding appropriate water quality for fish habitat and the parameters, analysis methods, and frequencies to be controlled. Through a case study in the Podhale region of southern Poland, the impact of geothermal water discharge on river water quality and the quality of salmonid fish life was evaluated, leading to the development of a Fish Water Pollution Index.

Summary: The consumption of contaminated finfish from the polluted river of Turag-Tongi-Balu, Kamarpara site, Dhaka poses significant health hazards to humans, with the concentrations of Cd, Mn, Pb, and Se exceeding the Food Safety Guideline value in most fish species. The high Mn concentrations in certain fish species elevate the non-carcinogenic risk, and there are statistically significant differences in heavy metal concentrations among fish species. The regular dietary consumption of fish from this polluted ecosystem poses a significant health risk and is indicated as cancer, emphasizing the importance of monitoring heavy metal contamination and minimizing the risk to human health.

Summary: In recent decades, increased contamination intake and habitat destruction have caused significant changes in aquatic ecosystems. The accumulation of environmental contaminants in aquatic organisms has disrupted the antioxidant/prooxidant balance in fish. This study evaluated the levels of organic, inorganic, and microbiological pollutants in four leisure lakes in Bucharest, Romania, to compare their impact on hepatopancreas and gill metabolism and antioxidant defense.

Summary: The study focused on the impact of metal contamination on Dules auriga, a native Brazilian fish species, in Ilha Grande Bay. Results indicated that environmental Mn and Fe concentrations may influence fish growth, while Cu may also affect growth. Correlations were found between Cd, Mn, and Zn, with Cd being a toxic element and Mn and Zn being essential elements.

Summary: Copper smelting in Penga Penga has caused soil contamination with trace metals, leading to trace metal ingestion among residents and difficulties in planting trees. Despite this, planting trees in former household dumps or using amendments has allowed fruit provision in some residences. A survey was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the planting processes on trace metal content in fruits and leaves of Mangifera indica L. and Syzygium guineense (Willd) DC. Results showed higher metal concentrations in Penga Penga's rhizosphere, with a higher percentage of samples exceeding FAO and WHO thresholds compared to Kalebuka. However, the bioconcentration factor values were below 1, indicating the effectiveness of the process in reducing metal translocation to leaves and fruits. Safe weekly consumption limits were also determined for each species. These findings provide valuable insights for scaling up tree planting in Penga Penga.

Summary: The increasing global demand for electric and electronic equipment has led to an increase in heavy metal pollution, affecting fish in African waters. Tuna species from African waters, such as Thunnus alalunga, have higher concentrations of heavy metals, especially Hg, compared to those caught in other areas. The study highlights the need to address research priorities to improve the social and environmental sustainability of EEE metal manufacture in Africa.

Summary: Abandoned mine wastes in San Felipe de Jesus, Mexico, have polluted the surrounding soil and pose a threat to both livestock and human health. Through a survey of 900 hectares of agricultural land, we assessed and mapped the concentrations of toxic elements in the topsoil to identify areas of severe pollution, determine potential sources, and evaluate the need for remediation.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze the levels of heavy metals in fish from the Yangtze River and their implications for human health. Six different fish species were collected and their muscle tissues were digested using standard protocols. The concentrations of lead, cadmium, zinc, aluminum, cobalt, manganese, chromium, and copper were analyzed. The results showed that zinc had the highest mean concentration in one of the fish species, followed by manganese, copper, lead, chromium, cadmium, and nickel. Health risk assessments indicated that children are particularly at risk for lead, cadmium, and cobalt when consuming these fish species.

Summary: The present study investigated the accumulation pattern of seven heavy metals in 13 tropical marine fishes collected from three major fish landings in Tamil Nadu. The study found significant variations in the accumulation pattern between different species and landing centers. The metal concentrations were influenced by species-specific factors, feeding behavior, swimming pattern, age, and geographical distribution.
