“…It is a heavy metal that is both naturally present and released as part of industrial pollution ( 172 ). Typically, it is found in minerals along with other elements like chlorine (cadmium chloride) ( 173 – 175 ), oxygen (cadmium oxide), or sulfur (cadmium sulfide, cadmium sulfate) ( 176 ). Although it is unknown how it operates biologically in either animals or people, it resembles the effects of other divalent metals that are crucial for a variety of biological processes ( 177 , 178 ).…”

Toxicity with heavy metals has proven to be a significant hazard with several health problems linked to it. Heavy metals bioaccumulate in living organisms, pollute the food chain, and possibly threaten the health of animals. Many industries, fertilizers, traffic, automobile, paint, groundwater, and animal feed are sources of contamination of heavy metals. Few metals, such as aluminum (Al), may be eliminated by the elimination processes, but other metals like lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Ca) accumulate in the body and food chain, leading to chronic toxicity in animals. Even if these metals have no biological purpose, their toxic effects are still present in some form that is damaging to the animal body and its appropriate functioning. Cadmium (Cd) and Pb have negative impacts on a number of physiological and biochemical processes when exposed to sub-lethal doses. The nephrotoxic effects of Pb, As, and Cd are well known, and high amounts of naturally occurring environmental metals as well as occupational populations with high exposures have an adverse relationship between kidney damage and toxic metal exposure. Metal toxicity is determined by the absorbed dosage, the route of exposure, and the duration of exposure, whether acute or chronic. This can lead to numerous disorders and can also result in excessive damage due to oxidative stress generated by free radical production. Heavy metals concentration can be decreased through various procedures including bioremediation, pyrolysis, phytoremediation, rhizofiltration, biochar, and thermal process. This review discusses few heavy metals, their toxicity mechanisms, and their health impacts on cattle with special emphasis on the kidneys.

“…The growing application of MNPs has led to an increasing release of these materials into the environment, threatening human life and other living organisms. Therefore, its potential toxicity to environmental health has received more attention [11]. It is worth noting that NPs are considered more toxic to the living body compared to large particles of the same chemical substance [12].…”

Nanotechnology has witnessed a revolution in our current era and has penetrating into consumer industries, biomedical and electronic fields, and environmental treatments, due to the chemical-physical properties of nanoparticles, especially metal ones, and the advantage of large surface area to volume. Thus, the growing consumption of these minutes has increased the exposure of living organisms to potential risks associated with their toxicity, especially vital organs as liver. The present review summarizes the potential hepatotoxicity in vivo (rat model) of experimentally exposed metal nanoparticles or their oxides. Most of the literature indicates that the induced hepatotoxicity is due to oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, and disturbance of liver function depending on the concentrations and method of exposure to these nanoparticles. Therefore, the toxic potential must be taken into account and the damage that may be caused to other vital organs in the body must be constantly evaluated in order to reach safe use of these nanoparticles.
