“…Moreover, some vegetables (Hu, Huang, Tian, Holm, & Zhang, 2017), meats (Yi, Tang, Yi, Yang, & Zhang, 2017), and fruits (Fang & Zhu, 2014) have a high heavy metal content. Heavy metal pollution also threatens TCMs and their products due to environmental contamination and various anthropogenic pollutants (Imtiaz et al., 2016).…”

Bupleuri Radix is a famous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and an important raw material in TCM patent prescriptions. It is widely used in several countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, and America. However, the impact of heavy metal transfer rules on TCMs remains unknown. In this study, a total of 45 paired original medicines (OMs), decoction pieces (DPs), and vinegar‐processed (VPs) samples were simultaneously determined via inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry after a microwave digestion. The concentrations of the elements were shown at three levels: (a) Al and Fe at the mg/g level; (b) Pb, Cu, Ba, Mn, Cr, and Ni at the mg/kg level; (c) Co, As, Cd, and Hg at μg/kg level. It is worth noting that the Cu levels were found to exceed the maximum concentration set by Chinese legislation (20.0 mg/kg). In addition, Mn, Ni, and Cu levels were higher in samples from the Gansu province than those from other provinces. The accumulation of the heavy metals decreased in the order of OMs > DPs > VPs; this was especially true for the Al and Fe levels. Furthermore, the results indicate that decocting the samples may reduce the intake of heavy metals. The element transfer ratios for decoctions were under 50% compared to herbal medicines and decreased in the order of Co > As > Mn > Hg > other metals. Our study strongly suggests that long‐term and regular monitoring for heavy metals in the plant is necessary.

“…Three main routes that generally influence the accumulation of metals in fish are from surface contact with the water, from respiratory systems, and through the food chain (Yi et al, 2017). Furthermore, the food chain is being able to register in their tissues metals concentrations even higher than those in the environment.…”

“…Furthermore, the food chain is being able to register in their tissues metals concentrations even higher than those in the environment. Life activities in fish such as breathing and the predatory behavior, are the examples of heavy metals accumulation through food chain (Yi et al, 2017). Fish which contaminated with heavy metals can pose potential health risks to both of the fish and hum an who consume them.…”

“…Consequently, the daily intake of fish from this area might not cause detrimental health hazards to the consumers; even though, further research should be conducted to ensure the local inhabitant's health (Yi et al, 2017). Top ten of Jakarta Bay fish that had been consumed were Mackerel, Milkfish, Frigate Tuna, Shrimp, Squid, Sea Pomfret, Green Mussels, Mackerel Scad, Croacker, and Mullets.…”

“…So then, through this way heavy metals can easily be transferred and accumulated in fish at different trophic levels by the food web. The higher the level of predators the more they contaminated with metals (Yi, Tang, Yi, Yang, & Zhang, 2017).…”

Aquatic environment of Jakarta Bay have already been highlighted due to its heavy metals contamination which may lead into food safety concern of fisheries products derived from this region. This research aimed to investigate bioaccumulation level of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and As) in fish and mussels from Jakarta Bay, as a human risk assessment of seafood consumption. Samples of mussels and fish were taken from Penjaringan, Tarumanegara, Cilincing, and Tanjung Pasir district. Bioaccumulation of heavy metals was analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma -Mass Spectrometry technique. Results of the study revealed that metals bioaccumulation in fisheries products were varied, with As (Arsenic) as the highest metal contaminant (0.68 mg/kg, dry weight). Furthermore, estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), total target hazard quotient (TTHQ), and safety limits prescribed by various agencies, showed that consumption of fisheries products from Jakarta Bay considered as relatively safe for human health in total of food ingestion rate of fish 57.34 g/day. These results are expected to serve as a baseline to construct preventive and palliative policies for food safety of fisheries products from Jakarta Bay.

An experimental investigation is conducted to explore the suitability of Lolium perenne L., diatomite, chalcedonite, dolomite, and limestone for the phytostabilization of Ni and Cu in contaminated soil. A controlled greenhouse study is conducted. The soil is enriched with rising dose of Cu and Ni, that is, (0, 150, 250, and 350 mg kg À1) and (0, 150, 300, and 450 mg kg À1 ), respectively. The phytostabilization potential of perennial ryegrass is evaluated using a bioaccumulation coefficient and translocation factor. Pseudo-total and available metal content (0.01 M CaCl 2 ) in soils and bioaccumulated content in plants are defined in laboratory experiments using spectrophotometry experimental technique. L. perenne is adequate in phytostabilization aided programs, simultaneously, diatomite, chalcedonite, dolomite, and limestone used as modifiers are effective in reducing the accessibility and mobility of metals in Cu-and Ni-polluted soils. The finding of the present study suggests that the studied element in the roots and above-ground parts of L. perenne differs significantly upon applying mineralbased modifications to the soil, synchronously the effect of increasing Cu and Ni levels. Application of dolomite and limestone to the soil cause the highest percentage of the above-ground biomass. Diatomite along with limestone cause a significant boost of Cu and Ni absorption in the roots. Limestone causes an increase in the contents of K, Na, and Ca, as well as a reduction in P in the above-ground parts of L. perenne. Limestone and chalcedonite leads to the highest decrease in available Cu and Ni.
