“…Cd has been reported to be nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic, and Pb intoxication could cause convulsion, encephalopathy, and hypertension (Iweala et al, 2014). Heavy metals are also known disruptor of lipid homeostasis and the antioxidant system: for instance, Cd in crab (Yang et al, 2013), Pb and As in rats (Ademuyiwa et al, 2010), and Cd and Pb in snail and fish (Banaee and Taheri, 2019; Sarah et al, 2019). This study, therefore, investigated the heavy metal levels, the lipid metabolism, and oxidative status indices of snails handpicked around cement factory vicinities in Ogun State, Nigeria.…”

“…In a study by Malekirad et al (2019), it was shown that the long-term exposure to dust from cement factories might induce oxidative stress and neurological impairment in the workers. Furthermore, Bannae and Taheri (2019) observed that snails exposed to sewage containing heavy metals had significantly reduced total antioxidant capacity and increased lipid peroxidation with elevated activities of LDH, alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST). In a similar study to ours, evaluation of soil around Ashaka cement factory PLC, in Northern Nigeria, Kolo et al (2018) found chromium, Pb, and nickel levels to be remarkably high.…”

Some snails ( Achatina spp) can be used as a biosensor of heavy metal poisoning. This study thus estimated some heavy metal levels, antioxidant markers, and lipid profiles of snails handpicked around cement factory vicinities in Ogun State, Nigeria. Snails and soil samples were collected from Oke, Ewekoro, Papalanto, and Mowodani Imeko-Afon (control site). Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) levels were estimated in the soil, snail foot, hemolymph, and shell using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Triacylglycerol (TAG), phospholipids (PHOL), cholesterol (CHOL), malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, as well as glutathione- S-transferase (GST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and arylesterase (AR) activities in the hemolymph, were estimated spectrophotometrically. The snails collected from the Oke site had the highest foot Pb (274.66 ± 13.50 mg/g tissue), CHOL, TAG, PHOL levels, and GST activity when compared with other sites. Snails collected from Papa had the highest Cd levels (1.79 ± 0.74 mg/kg), As (1206 ± 18.87 mg/g tissue) in the foot, and LDH activity, while Ewekoro snails had highest MDA levels and AR activities but the lowest GSH levels. Additionally, there were negative correlations between the heavy metal levels and the activities of GST and AR as well as GSH levels, while positively correlating with LDH activity and MDA level. Workers and the general public around cement factories are at a greater risk of heavy metal-induced pathologies. More so, consumption of snails around these sites may be deleterious to health.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the heavy metal pollution and the factors causing this pollution in the water and sediment of the Bartın River during rainy and dry periods. Concentrations of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, As and some other metals in water and sediment samples collected from 4 different points during rainy and dry periods were investigated. It has been determined that both natural sources (soil erosion) and anthropogenic sources (runoff in urban and agricultural areas) affect metal concentrations in water and sediment during the rainy period. Heavy metal accumulation was less at the point with the least water depth (≈ 2 m). Higher concentrations were determined at the point where soil transport was highest during the rainy period. Since EF values of As, Pb, Zn and Li were greater than two in both periods, it was determined that they were affected by anthropogenic sources (wastewater discharges, agricultural and urban activities). EF values less than one showed that Co, Cr, Ba, Ni, Mn were related to lithogenic actions and riverbank runoff. Non-carcinogenic effects caused by metals did not pose a risk to adults and children.

“…Heavy metals exert a wide range of toxic effects in humans, aquatic and terrestrial life [12]. Different strategies have been developed to study the degree of contamination of an area, such as the use of organisms called sentinels (oysters, clams) that due to their feeding habits, their little or no mobility, their little capacity to regulate the concentrations of ions in the internal fluids and their high tolerance to the metal ions absorbed above the metabolic requirements [16], make them ideal for studies of contamination by heavy metals; likewise, studies on fish have been of considerable interest to understand the toxic effects and because they are an important source of nutrients for humans and have the potential to bioaccumulate heavy metals in their tissues [17][18]. Food contamination can come from different sources: from contamination of the aquatic environment, during harvesting, transportation, handling or packaging.…”

Heavy Metals - Their Environmental Impacts and Mitigation

In this chapter, a little of the history of Carmen City, Mexico is addressed; this island is immersed in a Protected Natural Area and in the “Campeche Sound” an oil extraction site. Fishing natural resources were for many years the pillar of the development of the area; the most commercially important species are still shrimp, oysters and scales. Nowadays, although the volumes of capture have decreased considerably, different species of high commercial value are still extracted. The considerable development of the oil industry has brought with its economic development and a better quality of life for its inhabitants; however, the ravages of pollution, rapid population growth, and deforestation have been the unwanted factor. This chapter addresses the effects of heavy metals on human health through a risk analysis, based on the criteria of the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) that was carried out for different commercial species based on carcinogenic factors and not carcinogenic; the results show that the risk from consumption of these species is “potentially dangerous” for human health, especially in those species that, due to their eating habits (mollusks, bivalves, clams) tend to bio-accumulate heavy metals, such as cadmium, which it has been considered by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a risk factor; for this reason, the importance of periodically evaluating and monitoring oyster extraction banks, clams and, in general, all fishery products. Mexican legislation and various international legislations dictate the maximum permissible and tolerable levels of heavy metals in fishery products; the organisms considered in this study exceeded the permissible limits in copper and nickel, which represents a risk for human consumption.
