“…The presence of Cr along with other metals was reported to increase the glycogen level in different organs indicating the stress due to the metal exposure (Javed and Usmani 2011 ). Equivalent concentration of Cr found in Buriganga river were reported to cause DNA damage and also induce micronucleus in air breathing catfish (Ahmed et al 2013 ).…”

Human health risks from heavy metals in fish of Buriganga river, Bangladesh

et al. 2016

Heavy metals are known to cause deleterious effects on human health through food chain. Human health risks were evaluated from consumption of heavy metal contaminated fish from Buriganga River in Bangladesh. Whole body of five fish species (Puntius ticto, Puntius sophore, Puntius chola, Labeo rohita and Glossogobius giuris) were analyzed which contained various concentrations of Cd, As, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn, Se, Cu, Mo, Mn, Sb, Ba, V and Ag. Concentrations of Mn, Zn, Se and Pb in all fish species were above the Food Safety Guideline (FSG) by WHO/FAO. Assessment of noncarcinogenic health hazard by target hazard quotient (THQ) indicated no concern from consumption of these fish except for Mn. However, all metals together may affect human health as revealed by hazard index (HI). The target cancer risk (TR) values suggested carcinogenic risk from Ni and As. Taken together it can be concluded that there is potential human health risk in consuming fish from river Buriganga.

“…The LC 50 s determined in the present study (Table 2) compare with corresponding values found in the literature for other fish species. For example, potassium dichromate 96 h-LC 50 s of 35.7 mg/l and 375.8 mg/l were calculated for the freshwater stinging catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Ahmed et al, 2013), and the common carp Cyprinus carpio (Kumar et al, 2013), respectively, whereas the 96 h-LC50 of Cr(VI) to the zebrafish (Danio rerio) was 39.4 mg/l (Domingues et al, 2010). The effects of Cr(VI) on the predatory performance and selected subindividual biomarkers of early P. microps juveniles are shown in Table 3.…”

“…Chromium is an ubiquitous environmental contaminant that is toxic to the biota (Ahmed et al, 2013;Domingues et al, 2010;Mishra and Mohanty, 2012;Sadeghi et al, 2014) and humans (Wu and Liu, 2014) at ecologically relevant concentrations. It may be accumulated in different tissues (Fatima et al, 2014), and some of its species (e.g.…”

“…Anthropogenic sources of chromium emission in the surface waters are from municipal wastes, laundry chemicals, paints, leather, road runoff, agricultural runoff etc., Dixit and Tiwari (2008). Ingestion of Cr or taking it through gills and its accumulation in fish tissues and liver may occur at higher temperatures in fish (Ahmed et al, 2013). Aggarwal et al (2000) in their study found that an increase in effluent leads to increase in the heavy metal concentration in water bodies.…”

The study aimed to assess the influence of heavy metal pollution in river Sutlej around the industrial city of Ludhiana. Samples of water, sediment and commercially important selected fish species were collected before (S-1) and after (S-2) the confluence of Buddah Nallah in river Sutlej for the estimation of heavy matals using Atomic Absorption Mass Spectrometer, equipped with transverse graphite furnace tube for electro thermal determination of lead, copper, chromium and zinc. The water, sediment and fish samples collected from the site, S-2 showed higher concentration of heavy metals compared site S-1. All the metals studied were found within the permissible limit of different National and International agencies, except for the lead which was found above the permissible limit in fish, Wallago attu. The results reveal that river Sutlej around Ludhiana city is under severe threat of pollution due to the discharge of industrial effluents from the Buddha Nallah.
