“…The current study contrasts Khan et al [49], who reported the least quantity of Pb (0.65-1.38 mg kg−1) in a soil sample from the district of Sargodha. Another study conducted by Ahmad et al [50] also reported values lower than ours, such as 0.3 to 0.41mg/kg from the Sargodha district, but consistent with Habib et al [14]. They reported that fish muscle contained lead concentrations above the permissible limits.…”

“…Researchers reported that if food contaminated with Pb metal can cause serious health issues, then even if a person is exposed for a short period and minimum quantity, it can still cause some symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation, tiredness, headache, pain or tingling in the hands and feet and even memory loss [14,42]. Within our body, Pb is absorbed from food and deposited in blood, tissue and bones, from where it becomes a continual source of internal lead exposure [43].…”

“…During the production of fertilizers, varying amounts of different heavy metals are transferred to fertilizers, and these are later applied to the soil, which then enters the food chain [13]. Globally, pollution from heavy metals in water, air, soil, plants and aquatic species is a significant environmental problem because they enter the human food chain [14]. The presence of heavy metals in the environment poses a potential health risk because they are mutagenic, carcinogenic and reproductive toxicants.…”

“…Due to this, heavy metals in aquatic environments and their accumulation in aquatic animals are potentially harmful to human health [15]. Several studies have been conducted on heavy metal pollution in crops, fish species and habitats, including water and soil [13,14,16]. Organic fertilizers may also contain a different concentration of heavy metals applied to fishponds and soil.…”

Though manure has been used for centuries to enhance soil fertility and final agricultural yield, the overuse of fertilizers on the land can cause serious pollution issues, such as heavy metals and eutrophication, that can further lead to health problems. The current study aimed to assess the heavy metals in the most consumed crops (wheat and rice) and fish (common carp) and their risk to human health. Results revealed that there was an irregular trend of heavy metals in different sites of the study area; however, the general trend that was observed during the current research work was Pb>Cr>Cd>Mn in soil samples and crops, while in the case of fish muscle, the trend was Cr>Pb>Cd>Mn. Furthermore, after health index analysis, it was revealed that in some of the sites, the hazard index (HI) was above 1. Principal component analysis suggests a strong positive correlation of the heavy metals from the soil and water to the crops and fish muscles, respectively. Cd was highly bioaccumulated in the crops and fish muscles from different sites. There was an unusual increase in the metal concentration in the samples from the Sargodha. This result suggests a rapid increase in the metal concentration within the agricultural land and its products that can put human health at risk of developing multiple diseases related to the heavy metals, as indicated by the HI values. It is highly recommended that fertilizers should be used carefully so that human populations and animals can safely consume heavy-metal-free food.

Heavy metals are known for their toxic effects and lead to serious health problems. Fish is widely consumed, and the fish industry is rapidly growing. Heavy metals can accumulate in different parts of the fish from water, feed or sediment and can be further transferred to human consumers. The objective of the current study was to determine the concentrations of Cd and Pb in farmed fish tissues and fish feed. Fish tissues (head and fins, muscle and gills) in addition to feed samples were collected from two fish farms in Khartoum State. The levels of Cd and Pb were measured in the samples using Atomic Absorbance technique. Cd and Pb were detected in all samples examined, but their levels were below the acceptable limits set by FAO/WHO and EU. The muscle tissue was found to have the lowest concentration of both minerals (Cd 0.0092±0.001mg/g and Pb 0.203 ± 0.01 mg/g respectively) and the highest concentration was found in the fins (Cd 0.017± 0.001 and Pb 0.263 ± 0.011 mg/g respectively) .The levels in the feed were also found to be below the acceptable limits. Cd and Pb were detected in all samples studied, although the levels were below acceptable limits. Albeit that, the continuous and regular measurement is important to determine any potential sources that can increase their levels which further can affect the health of fish and humans.
