Characteristic levels of some pesticides and heavy metals in imported fish

Composition and Daily Intakes of Some Trace Metals from Canned Beers in Nigeria

“…Pb can cause renal failure and kidney damage, damage to haemoglobin production, and to the nervous and gastric systems. Other metals (Cr, Zn and Cu) can cause nephritis, anuria and extension of lesions in the kidney 1 . Ingestion of Ni may exacerbate contact dermatitis/eczema in pre-sensitized individuals.…”

Characteristic Levels of Some Heavy Metals from Brazilian Canned Sardines (Sardinella brasiliensis)

“…In 1996, Brazil commercialized 97 000 t of sardines (Sardinella brasiliensis), approximately 45% of the total Brazilian production of canned "sh (Ibama, 1991). Some metals, such as cadmium and lead in any concentration, can damage the kidneys and may cause symptoms of chronic toxicity, including impaired kidney function, poor reproductive capacity, hypertension, tumors and hepatic dysfunction (Abou-Arab et al, 1996). On the other hand, chromium, copper, iron, zinc and manganese are essential for human health.…”

Predicting arsenic and heavy metals contamination in groundwater resources of Ghahavand plain based on an artificial neural network optimized by imperialist competitive algorithm

“…Critical doses of this element can cause adverse health effects such as fatigue, hair loss, inflammation of brain tissues, panic attacks, premenstrual syndrome, anorexia, allergies, liver and kidney dysfunction, and also cancer (12). Poor reproductive capacity, blood pressure, impaired organ function, tumors, and hepatic abnormalities are known symptoms of chronic exposure to lead (13). Lead can also affect brain activity by interfering with synaptogenesis and neurotransmitter release.…”
