“…However, the amount of nano-TiO 2 being released into the ecosystem is increasing (Robichaud et al, 2009), and the bioaccumulation and potential impact of NPs deserve attention. Previous reports revealed that Pb causes changes to N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) complexes, AChE, ACh and spine density of brain development in rat hippocampus and the significant histopathological changes in fish tissue (Guilarte and McGlothan, 2003;Reddy et al, 2007;Ahmed et al, 2014;Hu et al, 2014). A low dose Pb can similarly decrease the expression of NMDAR to inhibit the synapse development (Nihei et al, 2000).…”

“…Lead is a major heavy metal that has been used for over 8000 years to produce glass, pigments, make-up, wine, antiknock fuel additives, electronic components and batteries as well as for water transport and cooking (Ahmed et al, 2014). Additional Pb pollution has been derived from agricultural, urban and industrial wastes (Environmental Protection Agency, 2009).…”

“…In addition, the altered TH levels may cause several developmental defects, particularly to the central nervous system (CNS). There were also some results had demonstrated lead could cause an damage to the CNS (Guilarte and McGlothan, 2003;Reddy et al, 2007;Ahmed et al, 2014;Hu et al, 2014). The mechanisms behind the known effects of Pb on the CNS have not been fully explained, but several studies have reported that Pb exposure may alter the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and thus, affect the CNS (Meeker et al, 2009;Singh et al, 2000Singh et al, 2000.…”

Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants due to their toxicity, persistence in the environment, and bioaccumulative nature. Their natural sources include weathering of metal-bearing rocks and volcanic eruptions, while anthropogenic sources include mining and various industrial and agricultural activities. Mining and industrial processing for extraction of mineral resources and their subsequent applications for industrial, agricultural, and economic development has led to an increase in the mobilization of these elements in the environment and disturbance of their biogeochemical cycles. Contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems with toxic heavy metals is an environmental problem of public health concern. Being persistent pollutants, heavy metals accumulate in the environment and consequently contaminate the food chains. Accumulation of potentially toxic heavy metals in biota causes a potential health threat to their consumers including humans. This article comprehensively reviews the different aspects of heavy metals as hazardous materials with special focus on their environmental persistence, toxicity for living organisms, and bioaccumulative potential. The bioaccumulation of these elements and its implications for human health are discussed with a special coverage on fish, rice, and tobacco. The article will serve as a valuable educational resource for both undergraduate and graduate students and for researchers in environmental sciences. Environmentally relevant most hazardous heavy metals and metalloids include Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, and As. The trophic transfer of these elements in aquatic and terrestrial food chains/webs has important implications for wildlife and human health. It is very important to assess and monitor the concentrations of potentially toxic heavy metals and metalloids in different environmental segments and in the resident biota. A comprehensive study of the environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology of hazardous heavy metals and metalloids shows that steps should be taken to minimize the impact of these elements on human health and the environment.

Pollution and food safety are concerning issues in recent years. For that, the present investigation was aimed to determine the levels of heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium and Nickel) in different organs of three fish (Labeo rohita, Gibelion catla and Pangasius hypophthalmus) and to compare the present value with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)/World Health Oraganization (WHO) acceptable limit. These commonly consumed fish were collected from Kawran Bazar fish market, Bangladesh and the concentrations of heavy metals were carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The highest (48.33 ± 2.52 ppm) concentration of Lead (Pb) was found in the gill of Pangus fish and the lowest (23.33 ± 2.52 ppm) was found in the gonad of Rui fish. In case of Cadmium (Cd), the highest (0.96 ± 0.08 ppm) concentration was found in the gill of Rui fish whereas the lowest (0.02 ± 0.01 ppm) was found in the kidney of Pangus fish. The highest (6.63 ± 1.00 ppm) concentration of Nickel (Ni) was found in the gill of Katla fish and the lowest (0.10 ± 0.10 ppm) was found in the liver of the same species. The metal concentrations in the muscle of Rui, Katla and Pangus fish were in the decreasing order of Pb>Ni>Cd, Pb>Cd>Ni and Pb>Ni>Cd respectively. In the study, it was found that Pb has exceeded the limits in every case whereas Cd was within the limits except for a few and Ni was completely within the maximum allowable limits provided by FAO/ WHO. However, all these concentrated metals in different parts of fish body could be concentrated into human body, if they are consumed and if so happen; there will be a massive health risk for us.
