“…It should be considered that even when the detected content of Cd is below that determined by some standards and that reported by various authors, there is evidence that small amounts consumed chronically can represent a health problem in long-term consumers (Castro-Gonz alez et al, 2019). Because of the half-life of this metal is 17-30 years (Nava-Ruíz and M endez-Armenta, 2011;Genchi et al, 2020), it gives it the quality of being highly cumulative, in addition to being considered the cause of pathological disorders in the kidneys, bone and respiratory systems, and it is classified as carcinogenic to humans (WHO, 2020;Amegah et al, 2021).…”

The aim of this work was to determine the content of lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), strontium (Sr) and thallio (Tl) in blood, milk and urine from cows fed forage irrigated with sewage water and cultivated in the vicinity of the Popocat epetl volcano and determine the rate of transfer of these elements from blood to milk and urine. Digestion was performed in a microwave oven (CEM-MarsX). The determination was made using an ICP -OES. The Cd in the blood was significantly higher than in milk and urine. The Cr in the blood was higher than in the urine. In milk the content of Pb and Cu was significantly higher than in blood. Sr and Tl concentration in the urine was higher than that detected in milk and blood and Pb in blood. Milk transfer Index revealed a significant difference in relation to the TI values found in the urine and only in the case of Cu in milk was TI > 1. In urine, the values found of Sr and Tl were higher than milk TI. It is concluded that when metals are ingested by cows in fodder, they are easily transferred to milk and urine through the blood. Presence of heavy metals in the different matrices determines the degree of environmental and trofic chain contamination with which we can consider the cow a biomarker.

“…The potential health risk, including non-cancer health risk and target cancer risk via drinking tea infusion for adults, were assessed as reported by Castro-González et al (2019) and Bortey-Sam et al (2015). The non-cancer health risk was performed by calculating the target hazard quotient (THQ), by dividing the chronic daily intake (CDI) with the oral reference dose (RfD) (Equation 1, Equation 2).…”

“…Aside from non-carcinogenic health risks, some heavy metal elements, such as Cr and Cd, are also carcinogenic. Pb is probably carcinogenic (Castro-González et al, 2019). The cancer slope factors of Cr, Cd, and Pb are shown in Table 1.…”

Dietary risk assessment of fluoride, lead, chromium, and cadmium through consumption of Tieguanyin tea and white tea

Food and beverage consumption is the most possible route of human exposure to undesirable elements. Tieguanyin tea and white tea are widely-consumed beverage, which may be contaminated by fluoride (F), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd). For this study, the contamination levels and dietary exposure risks of these elements were studied from 72 Tieguanyin tea samples and 40 white tea samples from Fujian Province, China. The average concentrations of these elements decreased in order from F, Pb, Cr to Cd in Tieguanyin tea, while white tea in order from F, Cr, Pb to Cd. Metal-to-metal correlation indicated a weak positive correlation between Pb/Cd pairs (Tieguanyin tea) and Pb/Cr pairs (white tea). A weak negative correlation pair was found for Cr/Cd in Tieguanyin tea. The hazard index levels were below one, suggesting that there was no significant noncarcinogenic health risk to tea drinking consumers under the current dietary intake. The total cancer risk values of Pb, Cd, and Cr via the consumption of Tieguanyin tea and white tea were 4.01×10 -5 and 7.64×10 -6 , fell into the acceptable range of 10 -6~1 0 -4 . It demonstrated that the cancer risk for consumers via drinking Tieguanyin tea and white tea was acceptable.

“…Additionally, the discharge of mine tailings and industrial and domestic runoff into water sources used for irrigation, the proximity of roads from engine combustion, and the use of phosphorus fertilizers and pesticides containing phosphate rock high in Cd, are sources of milk contamination [33,35,36].…”

The dairy basin of the Mantaro River located in the centre of Peru faces serious anthropogenic disturbances as it receives emissions and discharges from the metallurgical mining activity located in the headwaters of the basin and milk contaminated with lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) endangers the environmental and human health, especially children. To measure the concentrations of Pb and Cd in milk and the dangers of their consumption in the Peruvian population, 40 milk samples were collected and quantified by atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean concentration of Pb in milk was 15 ± 2.6 µg/kg, which represented 75% of the Maximum Limit (ML), and that of Cd was 505 ± 123 µg/kg, which exceeded the ML by more than 194 times. The estimated weekly intake of Pb for people aged 2–85 years was below the Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake (PTWI) references, determining risk coefficients (CRD) < 1. Weekly Cd intake was much higher than the PTWIs and CRDs were between 14 and 34, indicating that consumers would experience carcinogenic health effects, with children being at higher risk than adults, therefore, milk from the area is not safe for consumption. Cd would be transferred mainly through the soil (water)-grass-milk pathway, due to its presence in irrigation water and in fertilizers that contain Cd. The main pathway for Pb entry would be air-soil (water)-milk grass, from the fine particles emitted into the air by the mining-metallurgical activity, developed approximately 90 km from the study area.
