“…Fe plays an important role in normal functioning of the central nervous system and in the oxidation of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to control body weight, which is very important factor in diabetes 12 . Fe is also needed in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like dopamine or epinephrine and serotonin 10 . The deficiency of Fe is responsible for various diseases such as anemia, adverse pregnancy outcomes, depression, poor resistance to infection and weakness 14 .…”

“…At the same time kidney, liver, heart, vascular and immune system are affected by cadmium. Brain damage, subtle abortion, reduced fertility of men because of sperm damage; reduced learning abilities of children and disruption of nervous systems are also the adverse effects of Cd 10 . The concentration of Cd is recorded 0.80 mg/Kg in this plant.…”

The presence of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates are essential for the growth of humans. The inorganic micronutrients like Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn etc. are also required for proper metabolic processes. The excess or deficiency of micronutrients may disturb the biochemical func tions of the human body. The aim of the present work is to study the elemental analysis of dried powder of Caesalpinia bonducella leaves. The leaves were collected from the Garbhagiri ranges in Pathardi of Ahmednagar in Maharashtra, India. The leaves were dried in shade and the powder was prepared. The further analysis was carried out by the process of di-acid digestion method (9:4 mixtures of HNO3 and HClO4) with the help of atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). In this elemental analysis study, the presence of Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd) and Zinc (Zn) was found. The Iron (Fe) was found at higher concentration 360 mg/kg followed by Manganese (Mn) 108 mg/kg and Zinc (Zn) 69 mg/kg. The concentration of different elements in this plant is the matter of interest from the point of view of their therapeutic value as well as the toxic nature of some elements.

“…As trace elements, some heavy metals (e.g. copper, selenium, zinc) are essential to maintaining the metabolism of the human body [7]. Recently anthropogenic activities affect the natural geological and biological distribution of heavy metals through pollution of air, water, and soil and are also responsible for altering the chemical forms of heavy metals released into the soil and environments [8,9].…”

Heavy metals to man through aquatic life occur with the consumption of affected fish which is detrimental to the human body, having toxic and carcinogenic effects. In Bangladesh, the practice of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture has become popular due to its great demand to people. This study aimed at determining levels of Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni in feed used for tilapia culture (N=18), in sediment (N=9) and water (N=9) of three culture pond of three different farms of Noakhali region in Bangladesh. Heavy metal concentration was detected by Atomic absorption spectroscopy. The average metal concentration in fishes of farm 1, farm 2 and farm 3 following trend Pb>Cr>Cu>Ni>Cd, Pb>Ni>Cr>Cu>Cd, and Pb>Ni>Cu>Cr>Cd, respectively. The level of selected heavy metals was below detection limit in a water sample. The order of heavy metal concentration in feed samples of each farm was decreased in the similar sequence of Cu>Cr>Ni>Pb>Cd. Heavy metal concentrations in the sediment of farm 1 was decreased in the order of Cu>Ni>Pb>Cr>Cd but metal concentrations in the sediment of farm 2 and farm 3 were decreased in the similar manner of Ni>Cu>Cr>Pb>Cd. The results show evidence of bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the fish with alarming levels that are higher than IAEA-407 limits, therefore, posing a potential risk for the consumer.
