“…In an aquatic ecosystem, heavy metals scavenged by fine particles lead to their accumulation in sediments. The contamination of heavy metals in water and sediments has produced significant adverse ecologic effects (Yi et al 2011;Islam et al 2014;Martin et al 2015;Islam et al 2015b, c;Ahmed et al 2015c). However, the level of the risks is very tough to measure accurately, due to the difficulty of biologic and chemical interactions that is hugely responsible for the alteration of the bioavailability of metals.…”

The present study was conducted to measure globally alarming of ten heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Al, Ni, Co, Zn and Mn) in surface water and sediment of the Old Brahmaputra River in Bangladesh. The observed order of heavy metal mean concentration in water and sediments is Al > Mn > Ni > Co > Cu > Pb > Zn > Cr > Cd > Hg in mg/l and Al > Mn > Zn > Ni > Pb > Cr > Cu > Co > Cd > Hg in mg/kg, respectively. The significant variations of Cr, Cu, Al and Ni were found in the water of all seasons (p < 0.05), while sediment showed Pb and Hg exhibited substantial changes in terms of seasons (p < 0.05). Principal component analysis and correlation matrix revealed that significant anthropogenic input of Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Al, Ni, Co, Zn and Mn in water and sediment. In case of water, very strong linear relationships exhibited in Ni versus Cu (0.911), Ni versus Al (0.910), Mn versus Co (0.882), Cr versus Al (0.877), Cu versus Cd (0.853), Ni versus Pb (0.850), Zn versus Cr (0.833), Ni versus Cd (0.828), Cu versus Cr (0.827), Al versus Cd (0.827) and Zn versus Co (0.804) at the significance level 0.05. In sediments, very strong linear relationships were noted in Zn versus Cr (0.889), Al versus Pb (0.848), Co versus Al (0.819) and Mn versus Co (0.806) at the significance level 0.05. The result discovered that water and sediment quality of the Old Brahmaputra River became contaminated due to the anthropogenic sources of industrial, domestic and irrigation discharges. This environmental monitoring and assessment research will be useful for the management and planning for the protection of this river.

“…Due to the unplanned rapid industrialization, heavy metal contamination has become a serious environmental problem in aquatic environment. The increasing heavy metal pollution have a significant adverse health effects for invertebrates, fish and humans as well as for plants (Yi et al, 2011;Islam et al, 2014;Ahmed et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2016). Daily about 0.4 millions m 3 of untreated industrial waste is being discharged into urban river water in Bangladesh (Arefin et al, 2016).…”

Water samples were collected from the Rupsha river of Khulna region to determine ionic contamination for irrigation purpose. The chemical analyses included pH, EC, TDS and ions. pH values of water samples were slightly alkaline in nature. Samples were rated as fresh water based on TDS values. Samples were high salinity and low alkalinity hazards expressing C3S1. Regarding SAR and SSP values, samples were excellent and good classes, respectively. Samples were free from RSC and were very hard class. Regarding PI values, samples were under class-II implying 75% maximum soil permeability. Ca, Mg, Na, Cu, Ni, Zn, HCO3, SO4 and PO4 levels in samples were within safe limit. Cd, Cr and Cl ions in water samples were above the permissible limit and were treated as water contaminants for irrigation. From the present findings, it is noted that the detected ions as water contaminants should be considered for irrigation usage toward food safety. J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 11(1-2): 145-151 2018

“…The maximum and minimum ADI of chromium were found as 0.546 mg/person/day in Basella alba and 0.089 mg/person/day in Cucumis sativus respectively. The presence of Cr in the diet is of great importance due to its active involvement in lipid metabolism and insulin function (Ahmed et al, 2015). But chronic exposure to Cr may result in liver, kidney and lung damage (Zayed and Terry, 2003).…”

This study assesses the levels of heavy metals in vegetables (Cucumis sativus, Solanum lycopersicum, Ipomoea aquatica, Amaranthus cruentus, Basella alba, Brassica oleracea, Musa acuminata) collected from Kawran Bazar vegetable market located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Also, it examines potential health risks from the consumption of these vegetables. The samples were randomly collected, processed and analyzed for heavy metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Among the vegetables Basella alba had the highest heavy metal content followed by Cucumis sativus, Amaranthus cruentus, Solanum lycopersicum, Brassica oleracea, Musa acuminate and Ipomoea aquatica. The average daily intake for Cr (0.245 mg/person/day) was above the permissible maximum tolerable daily intake of 0.20 mg/person/day endorsed by WHO/FAO (2013). The hazard quotient (HQ) values for Cd in Basella alba (4.400) and Brassica oleracea (1.333), for Cr in Ipomoea aquatica (1.756), Amaranthus cruentus (1.655), Basella alba (3.033) and Musa acuminate (1.333) as well as the hazard indices (HI) for I. aquatica (2.537), A. cruentus (2.791), B.alba (8.883), B. oleracea (2.295), M. acuminate (2.999) exceeded unity, signifying presence of health risks from consumption of the vegetables. This study recommends regular monitoring of heavy metals in vegetables and foodstuffs to prevent excessive accrual in food chain.
