“…The levels of Hg reported in SS1 (0.189 mg/ L) and SS2 (0.369 mg/L) are much higher than the recommended limits by Drinking Water. [14], the level of accumulation in different organs of the fish is attributed to differences in physiological role of each organ, and factors such as regulatory ability, behaviour and feeding habits. The five metals (Pb, Cd, As, Cr and Hg) are some of the most toxic heavy metals.…”

The goal of this study is to assess the concentrations of selected heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Cr, Hg) in the water and fish of the artificial lakes in Heipang (Latitude 9o 41' N and Longitude 8o 51' E) and Rayfield (Latitude 9o 50' N and Longitude 8o 55' E). Two methods namely: Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (EDXRF) were used to determine the level of heavy metals in Tilapia zilli from the lake at Heipang and Clarias gariepinus from the lake at Rayfield. Determination of heavy metals in water was carried using AAS. The result show that Pb, As and Hg were above the limit of Nigerian Standard for drinking water quality. Percentage composition of heavy metals in the fish organs were muscle 40.6 %, intestine 35.4 % and gills 20.0 for Tilapia zilli, while Clarias gariepinus contained muscle 39.8 %, gills 33.5 % and intestine 26.7 %. The study revealed the bioaccumulation factors of 339, 302, 20.0, 2.30 and 0.320 for Cr, Cd, As, Hg and Pb respectively in Clarias gariepinus. While Tilapia zilli had 142, 137, 1.70, 1.03 and 0.690 for Cr, Cd, As, Hg and Pb, respectively. This study concludes that the two lakes were contaminated with Pb.

“…They are found even in the biological systems of most people. Factors that determine their toxicity include chemical species, dose, and route of exposure; also, the nutritional status, genetics, age, and gender of exposed individuals [14]. Heavy metals with most carcinogenic effects are Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd, and As.…”

“…Research has shown that the extent of accumulation of heavy metals in fish is dependent on the metal types, fish species, and the tissues respectively (Korkmaz Görür et al 2012;Petrović et al 2013). Water chemistry (Driscoll et al 1994) directly affects the accumulation of heavy metal in fish.…”

Metal accumulation in fish is a global public health concern, because the consumption of contaminated fish accounts for the primary exposure of humans to toxic metals. In this study, the concentrations of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) in Crucian carp (Carassius auratus),Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco), and Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) from Nansi Lake of China were evaluated, and compared with the corresponding historical values in 2001 when the government started to govern water environment effectively. Bioaccumulation of heavy metal was highest in P.fulvidraco, followed by C.auratus and H.nobilis. The concentrations of Pb, As, Cd were much lower than the historical values, but Hg concentration was higher, suggesting that heavy metal pollution problem in fish from Nansi Lake still exists. Health hazard assessment showed no health risk from exposure to Pb, As, Cd, and Hg by consuming fish from this lake.

“…Metal contamination has become a worldwide problem (Dadar et al 2014;Jankovská et al 2010;Magdaleno et al 2014;Petrović et al 2013). Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant ranked eighth among the top 20 hazardous substances priority list (Klaassen et al 2009), and human activity has markedly increased the distribution of Cd in the global environment.…”

Can the Hyperaccumulating Plant Arabidopsis halleri in Feed Influence a Given Consumer Organism (Rattus norvegicus var. alba)?

Zinc and cadmium concentrations in rat (Rattus norvegicus var. alba) tissues were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Rats were fed the zinc and cadmium hyperaccumulating plant, Arabidopsis halleri. When compared to the control group, a Cd increase in all tissues (liver, kidneys, small intestine, spleen, testes, muscle), with the exception of bone tissue was observed. In comparison to the control group, the kidneys, liver and small intestine contained 375, 162, and 80 times more Cd, respectively. Differences between zinc concentrations in rats fed with A. halleri and those of the control group were significant only in the small intestine and kidney tissues. Results suggest using the hyperaccumulating plant A. halleri as a feed stresses the consumer organism not through its Zn content, but through its Cd content.
