Today’s most serious threat of world is the water pollution. This is because it impacts flora and fauna of our earth. It is impacting human health in various ways. Pollutants which mainly impact human health are inorganic and organic pollutant as most of them are non-biodegradable and accumulate in the living organism for long time. Due to prolong accumulation, these pollutants exert more hazardous effect compare to biodegradable substances. Major source of contamination of water can be summarized as the dumping of waste in water bodies, excessive use of agricultural chemicals like pesticides, insecticides etc. Today we are facing crucial challenge to consume this polluted water and continues consumption causes potential threat as many of these pollutants are carcinogenic in nature. Today’s lifestyle already facing many health issues and water pollution adding more issues as cancer is prolong chronic disease. Although the issue is worldwide yet we can’t ignore high exposer in developing countries as these countries are seeking for more and more industrialization with less or moderate medical facilities as exposure with carcinogens requires persisting strategy for control of cancer. Thus, we aim to review the wide spread carcinogenic pollutants along with their origin and health risks associated with them. We also provided experimental results of detection of metal ions in ground water of Bhatinda region by using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique.

“…Poultry in locations afflicted by arsenic exposure are exposed to hazardous levels of the deadly metal, much like animals in general [35]. Sources of arsenic pollution include feed ingredients, contaminated drinking water, vegetables, grasses, plants, and air emissions; the first four are the primary sources of arsenic [36].…”

It has been shown that the most hazardous heavy metals that are constantly emitted into the environment are arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg). These metals can be found in both naturally occurring and artificially produced fertilizers, industrial processes, and waste disposal. Due to ongoing exposure to heavy metals, bioaccumulation of As, Pb, Cd, and Hg takes place in a variety of organs in chickens, primarily the kidneys, liver, reproductive organs, and lungs. Chemical, biological, or physical risks can be connected to animal feed. Poultry feed contamination can come from negligent or intentional handling, storage, and transportation practices. Because of the increased concentration of these heavy metals in these tissues—primarily the brain, liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs—chronic exposure to low doses of As, Pb, Cd, and Hg can alter the microscopic structure of these tissues. This puts human health at risk when consuming chicken or poultry. Risks to food safety should be carefully considered in order to reduce unfavorable side effects in both people and animals. Governments should therefore implement stringent measures to prevent any harmful contamination that could endanger public health. This review presents a discussion of bioaccumulation of As, Cd, Pb, and Hg in poultry with the associated problem of consumption of poultry and human health.

“…As is a source of toxicity and is typically present in fluids used to spray animals to control ectoparasites ( 3 , 79 ). Feed ingredients, contaminated drinking water, vegetables, grasses, plants, and atmospheric emissions are sources of As contamination ( 80 ), with the first four mentioned being the main sources of As ( 81 ).…”

Arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) have been recognized as most toxic heavy metals that are continuously released into the environment, both from natural sources and from anthropogenic production of fertilizers, industrial activities, and waste disposal. Therefore, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb are found in increasing concentrations in bodies of water, fodder, feed, and in the tissues of livestock, including poultry, in the surroundings of industrial areas, leading to metabolic, structural, and functional abnormalities in various organs in all animals. In poultry, bioaccumulation of As, Pb, Cd, and Hg occurs in many organs (mainly in the kidneys, liver, reproductive organs, and lungs) as a result of continuous exposure to heavy metals. Consumption of Cd lowers the efficiency of feed conversion, egg production, and growth in poultry. Chronic exposure to As, Pb, Cd, and Hg at low doses can change the microscopic structure of tissues (mainly in the brain, liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs) as a result of the increased content of these heavy metals in these tissues. Histopathological changes occurring in the kidneys, liver, and reproductive organs are reflected in their negative impact on enzyme activity and serum biochemical parameters. Metal toxicity is determined by route of exposure, length of exposure, and absorbed dosage, whether chronic and acute. This review presents a discussion of bioaccumulation of As, Cd, Pb, and Hg in poultry and the associated histopathological changes and toxic concentrations in different tissues.
