“…Similar to our findings, Similar to our findings, Co was reported to be at high and moderate levels in Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias lazera, and Cyprinus carpio from freshwater fish farm in Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia (Aljabryn, 2013). In addition, high levels of Co were also reported in the muscles of Euryglossa orientalis (3.21 mg/kg) and Otolithes ruber (1.94 mg/kg) from Arvand River, Iran (Sheikhzadeh & Hamidian, 2021). On the other hand, Co was not detected in the fish samples obtained from Ataturk Dam Lake, Turkey (Karadede et al, 2004).…”

“…The levels of Ni in E. summana and P. argenteus, S. commerson, and L. nebulosus were significantly higher in fall compared with winterseason, while in P. pessuliferus it was significantly higher in winter compared with fall season at P ≤ 0.05 level. Previously, high levels of Ni were detected in the liver (286.4 mg/kg wet weight basis) and muscle (11.46 mg/kg wet weight basis) tissues of Johnius belangerii from Khark Island and Musa Estuary, Iran, respectively (Sheikhzadeh & Hamidian, 2021). In addition, high levels (6.33-10.74 mg/kg DW) of Ni were also reported in muscles of Clarias lazera, while moderate levels (3.42-4.15 mg/kg DW) were found Cyprinus carpio and Oreochromis niloticus from a freshwater fish farm in Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia (Aljabryn, 2013).…”

“…Being a part of vitamin B12, Co represents one of the essential heavy metals with high health benefits, which acts as a regulator of blood pressure and is vital for the thyroid gland's proper functioning. However, excessive intake and accumulation of Co in the human body may cause congestive heart failure, anemia, polycythemia, overproduction of erythrocytes, and pulmonary fibrosis (Sheikhzadeh & Hamidian, 2021).…”

“…However, the recorded Cu levels were lower than the maximum allowable limit of 20 mg/kg reported by Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (1995). Copper is an important trace element with various roles in metabolisms and hemoglobin synthesis because it is the main component of the same important enzymes (Sheikhzadeh & Hamidian, 2021). However, the consumption of excess amounts of copper, which is found in high concentrations in seafood, has high health concerns as it may cause damage to the kidney and liver (Yap et al, 2016).…”

Seven major commercially important marine fisheries species, Fenneropenaeus indicus, Chaceon quinquedens, Lethrinus nebulosus, Scomberomorus commerson, Plectropomus pessuliferus, Pampus argenteus, and Epinephelus summana were seasonally sampled from Jeddah main local fisheries market, Saudi Arabia. The heavy metals, namely arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) were assessed. Except for arsenic, the results indicated that the levels of tested heavy elements were within the standard limits. The levels of arsenic were high in F. indicus, C. quinquedens, L. nebulosus, P. pessuliferus and E. summana. In addition, Pb showed higher mean levels of 0.89 ± 0.14 mg/kg and 5.05 ± 0.86 mg/kg in S. commerson and P. pessuliferus, respectively, compared to the permissible standard limits. Cd was not found in most samples, except for F. indicus and C. quinquedens where its detected levels exceeded the acceptable standards. Our results may prove the significant roles of seasonal impacts and species variations in the acquisition mechanisms of heavy metals in marine environments. Therefore, the application of a detection program for cumulative residual levels of heavy metals in marine fisheries products is recommended before marketing to ensure the safety of these products.

“…The boundary of children's strangeness to nature is so great that fewer children can be caught playing dirt, playing water, playing sand, catching butterfl ies, chasing ants and bees, or even getting caught by a tree when climbing a tree [1][2][3][4]. The silent and overwhelmed children of the modern world, whose computer games fi lled their minds, are the children of the same generation who knew the game at the heart of nature and with a lot of noise [5][6][7].…”

Why Should Children Become Familiar with Nature

Until a few years ago, the world of Iranian children was often full of movement, mobility, and experience of nature, a real world in which nature and its landmarks, including soil, water, wind, living beings and tangible trees, and not limited to virtual image frames where even the possibility of experiencing and obtaining a simple and lasting memory such as playing soil is impossible and unattainable. Today, however, the vacancy of many childish games and mischievousness can be easily felt in green and open public spaces. Today's children look more strange and alienated in the face of nature than landlords. It is a fact that Iranian children are more familiar with their country's valuable animal and plant species such as gorasay, siberian dorrena, Asian cheetah, emperor salamander and manus boro alum, and animals such as zebras, African lions and elephants, polar bears, penguins and pandas. Who is this negligence from the other side? Why do not children spend as they should and perhaps in nature? Are limited and closed apartment spaces and the preference of computer games to group uplifting physical activities our children's choice? In this paper we review the importance of acquainting children with nature, with a focus on Iran.

The consumption of contaminated finfish from the polluted river channel of Turag‐Tongi‐Balu, Kamarpara site, Dhaka poses significant health hazards to humans. We used mass spectrometry on chemically digested liquid samples from five fish species from Turag‐Tongi‐Balu to estimate the concentrations of 10 elements (Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Fe, and Pb). Except M. vittatus, the mean concentrations of Cd, Mn, Pb, and Se exceeded the Food Safety Guideline (FSG) value in all fish species. Among the species studied, L. rohita, C. punctata, C. batrachus, H. fossilis, and M. vittatus exhibited higher Mn concentrations surpassing the FSG threshold, thus elevating the non‐carcinogenic risk across all species. There were statistically significant differences (p < .05) in the mean concentrations of heavy metals among fish species. The Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) value of Mn poses a significant non‐carcinogenic risk to human health, while the hazard of other metals is negligible. Except for M. vittus, the Hazard Index value (HI ≥ 1) revealed the risk that all metals exceed the limit and pose a threat to human health. Cd, As, and Ni metals pose a significant carcinogenic risk to human health from the consumption of fish samples, which is a particularly alarming target cancer risk (TCR). In conclusion, regular dietary consumption of fish from this polluted ecosystem of the Turag‐Tongi‐Balu River channel's Kamarpara site poses a significant health risk and is indicated as cancer. This study emphasizes the significance of monitoring heavy metal contamination in finfish and minimizing the risk to human health with effective measures.
