“…On the other hand, the results of some studies conducted in Germany, Jordan, Malaysia, the USA, and Turkey highlighted that the heavy metal concentration in their drinking water was lower than allowed and permissible limits (Alidadi et al, 2019) and higher than the standard limits from Pakistan (Ahmed et al, 2019;Habib et al, 2020;Islam et al, 2020;S. Khan et al, 2016), Nigeria (Maigari et al, 2016), India (Vetrimurugan et al, 2017), Ghana (Bortey-Sam et al, 2015), and Iran (Sadeghi et al, 2020).…”

This study investigated the contamination level and risk associated with toxic trace elements in springs’ water from Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Toxic trace elements, including Hg, As, and Zn, were analyzed by metalyzer, HM 2000 serial no. MY-011-006, while elements such as Cr, Al, B, Ni, Cu, Mn, and Fe were analyzed using Metalometer HM 2000 serial no. MM005-007, the United Kingdom. The mean concentrations of TTEs in water samples from Skardu were ordered as, Mn < Cu < Fe < Zn < Al < Cr < As < Ni < Hg, in Gilgit, Mn < Cu < Zn < Ni < B < Cr < Fe < As < Hg, in Ghizer Cu < Mn < Zn < Ni < Cr < Fe < As < Hg, while in Nagar the concentration of TTEs in water samples were ordered as Cu < Mn < Fe < Ni < Al < Cr < Zn < As < Hg. Results obtained from this study showed that the concentrations of As, Hg, Ni, Cr, Al, and Mn in some water samples were higher than the limits recommended by WHO and Pak-NDWQS. However, the chronic daily intake indices (CDIs) and health risk index (HRI) in all samples were found below the US-EPA standards. The correlation analysis revealed a positive association among different elements, which revealed that the sources of TTES in water samples were mainly geological strata and anthropogenic activities.

The present study aimed to assess the levels of 98 multi-class pharmaceuticals including cardiovascular drugs, antidepressants, hypnotics, antibiotics, and sulfonamides occurring in the muscle tissue of fish caught in the Baltic Sea. The following fish species were collected: perch (Perca fluviatilis); flounder (Platichthys flesus); turbot (Scophthalmus maximus); plaice (Pleuronectes platessa); cod (Gadus morhua callarias); bream (Abramis brama); crucian (Carassius carassius). Additionally, in the examined fish muscle the levels of heavy metals and trace elements were determined (As; Ag; Au; Ba; Cd; Co; Cr; Cu; Hg; Li; Mo; Ni; Pb; Sb; Se; Sn; Tl; V) as well as the levels of cholesterol and its 5 derivatives (7-ketocholesterol; 7α-hydroxycholesterol; 7β-hydroxycholesterol; 5β,6β-epoxy-cholesterol; 5α,6α-epoxycholesterol). In the performed studies 11 out of 98 examined pharmaceuticals were detected in fish muscle. The levels of pharmaceuticals in fish muscle varied depending on the species. In the tissues of bream and crucian, no pharmaceuticals were found. Mercury, lead and arsenic were detected in the muscles of all examined fish. Based on the hazard factor for Hg, Pb, Cd, Ni (target hazard quotient, THQ < 1), it was found that the consumption of the studied fish does not constitute a health risk. However, the THQ for As remained >1 indicated possible risk from those metals. In the examined fish muscle the total cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) level of oxysterols were, respectively: 6.90 (cod) μg/g–4.18 μg/g (perch), which corresponded to 0.7–1.5% of cholesterol. The main COPs evaluated were 7-ketocholesterol (0.78 ± 0.14–1.79 ± 0.06 μg/g), 7β-hydroxycholesterol (0.50 ± 0.04–3.20 ± 2.95 μg/g) and 5β,6β-epoxycholesterol (0.66 ± 0.03–1.53 ± 0.66 μg/g). The assessment of health hazards due to contaminations is necessary, which may help to introduce national legislation and global standards aimed at reducing or even eliminating the exposure to contaminants.

“…The muscle is essential to human nutrition and is an excellent instrument for health risk evaluation in heavy metal contamination. At the same time, the gills have an enormous surface area exposed to water and receive the proper quantity of metal ions (Sadeghi et al, 2020). Deficits or excesses of elements like (Zn) zinc and (Cu) copper can harm human health, but they are essential for the growth of specific biochemical processes of biological systems.…”

Bardawil Lake is a unique aquatic ecosystem that provides a habitat for various fish and other aquatic organisms. This study aimed to analyze the quality of fish species to make sure this lake, like the rest of the other Egyptian lakes, suffers from the deterioration of fish product quality due to the accumulation of some heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn) in various tissues from fish species that were caught from this lake. 35 fish samples were caught during spring, 2018; from seven different species: Mugil cephalus, Liza auratus, Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax, Siganus rivulatus, Anguilla angilla, and Solae Solea. The Association of Official Analytical Chemists methods using a spectrophotometer determined the biochemical composition. In contrast, atomic absorption spectrometry was employed to determine the heavy metals expressed by µg/g wet weight. Results exposed that the accumulation of essential micronutrient (Cu, Zn) content was higher than toxic elements (Cd & Pb) in muscles to Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd. Muscles < gills < liver in all metals except Pb muscles < liver < gills. The metals studied in the muscles were lower than those set by the WHO, and the EU standard. The carcinogenic risk with lower allowable limits of 1x10-6 to 1x10-4 in both normal and high consumption groups; target and total target hazard quotients (THQ & HI) in muscles were <1. The biochemical composition level was highest in the liver, except for protein, which was highest in muscle for all fish species. There is no evidence of harmful contaminants in the muscular tissue of the fish sampled from Bardawil Lake. However, customers should be aware that health concerns may be associated with eating too much fish
