“…Due to industrialization, pollutants have caused biogeochemical changes which might be a source of heavy metals in river water bodies, and these heavy metals affect the growth of the shell and can accumulate in it [ 38 ]. Al-Jaberi [ 10 ] reports that the content of heavy metals in C. fluminea shells has increased significantly. According to the results of Figure 2 , CCS made from the C. fluminea shell was embedded into PE film, and might be in direct contact with food.…”

“…However, Fang et al [ 9 ] mentions that the concentration of heavy metals in oysters are higher than that in mussels. In addition, Al-Jaberi [ 10 ] found a significant increase in the value of heavy metals (Ba, Zn, Pb, Ni, Co, Cr, Sr, Cu, Mn, and Fe) in the C. fluminea shell. This was really an important comment for this research, in that we needed to pay more attention to the heavy metal content, which must comply with the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) standard.…”

Bacteriostatic Effect of a Calcined Waste Clamshell-Activated Plastic Film for Food Packaging

The addition of calcined waste clamshells (CCS) into polyethylene (PE) plastic bags imparts antibacterial properties due to the presence of CaO. In this study, different proportions of calcined waste clamshells were added to PE to explore its bacteriostatic effects. The PE plastic bags with 9% and 11% of CCS exhibited antibacterial efficacy. Further, total aerobic viable count (TVC) values for raw fish fillet packaging in 9% and 11% CCS-PE plastic bags for five days were similar to the 0% CCS-PE plastic bag group after three days of incubation. In addition, the CCS-PE plastic bag demonstrated stability against solvents when examined using the metal migration test under heptane, ethanol, and acetic acid treatments. The results revealed that the CCS-PE bag retains its CaO bacteriostatic efficacy and that the addition of CCS powder to PE prolongs the shelf life of raw fish fillets, as well as mitigating safety concerns from metal leakage.

“…Избирательное накопление меди известно и для Corbicula fluminea (O. F. Müller, 1774), часто используемого в биомониторинге пресных вод [7,8]. Способность к аккумуляции Cu также обнаружена у другого азиатского пресноводного представителя рода, интродуцированного ныне во многие страны мира, -Corbicula fluminalis (O. F. Müller, 1774) [9].…”

The concentrations of seven heavy metals (HMs) in tissues of bivalve mollusks of the families Unionidae (genera Ensidens, Scabies, Kunashiria) and Cyrenidae (genus Corbicula) and from four natural lakes located on the eastern slope of Sikhote Alin (Primorskii krai, Russian Far East) and the Mekong River delta (Vietnam) were determined. It was established that the HM concentrations in the bivalve mollusks studied, inhabiting unpolluted water reservoirs, are specific for every family and do not depend on the geographical positions of the lakes. They decrease in the following order: Mn > Fe > Zn > Cu > Ni > Cd > Pb for Unionidae, and Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Ni ≥ Cd > Pb for Cyrenidae (Corbicula). It is likely that deviations from the revealed sequence are due to anthropogenic pollution of lakes with some metals or the occurrence of a natural geological anomaly.

Bactericidal and Fungistatic Properties of LDPE Modified with a Biocide Containing Metal Nanoparticles

et al. 2021

The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the combined action of metal nanoparticles (silver, copper, zinc oxide, iron oxide) would ensure the appropriate biocidal properties oflow-density polyethylene (LDPE) against pathogenic microorganisms. According to the research hypothesis, appropriately selected concentrations of the applied metal nanoparticles allow for a high level of biocidal activity of polymeric materials against both model and pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella pneumophila, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica) and fungi (Aspergillus brasiliensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Penicilium expansum), whilst ensuring the safety of use due to the lack of migration of particles to the surrounding environment. Studies have shown that adding 4% of a biocide containing Ag, Cu, ZnO, and Fe2O3 nanoparticles is the most optimal solution to reduce the number of S. aureus, S. enterica,and P. aeruginosa by over 99%. The lowest effectiveness was observed against L. pneumophila bacteria. As for E. coli, a higher biocide content did not significantly increase the antibacterial activity. The results showed a high efficiency of the applied biocide at a concentration of 2% against fungal strains. The high efficiency of the obtained biocidal results was influenced by the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles in the material and their low degree of agglomeration. Furthermore, a slight migration of components to the environment is the basis for further research in the field of the application of the developed materials in industry.
