“…Aquatic environments and living organisms in Turkey, like the rest of the world, are contaminated with toxic pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors (Cucu et al, 2019;Esfahani et al, 2020;Jia et al, 2016;Nyantakyi et al, 2021;Yarsan and Yipel, 2013;Yipel and Yarsan, 2014). Because of their widespread use, toxicity, and resistance to biodegradation, as well as their accumulation and biomagnification in living beings in the food chain, heavy metals are significant among aquatic pollutants (Altınok-Yipel et al, 2022;Esfahani et al, 2020;Jia et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2019).…”

Contamination of the aquatic environment and living things with pollutants is increasing day by day. Among these pollutants, heavy metals come to the forefront in terms of toxicological and public health due to their widespread use, toxicity, and resistance to degradation, as well as accumulation and biomagnification in the food chain. The aim of the study is to find essential (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn) and non-essential (As, Al, Cd, Pb) shrimps in Metapenaeus monoceros, Penaeus japonicus, Penaeus semisulcatus (n=30) fished in the Northeastern Mediterranean, Iskenderun Bay was the determination of metal concentrations by ICP-OES. The concentration (ppb) of Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb were under LOD. The concentration (ppm) ranges were Al: 0.73-38.89, As: 2.18-9.68, Cu: 28.96-69.01, Fe: 7.85-241.36, Mn: 0.44-1.28, and Zn: 51.71-108.51 for all species. Except the As concentrations the differences between mean concentrations of metals in shrimp species were not statistically significant (p

Heavy Metals - Their Environmental Impacts and Mitigation

Fast consumption, increasing energy needs, unplanned urbanization, and unconscious discharge of industrial wastes cause pollution of air, soil, food and water resources. Among these pollutants, heavy metals and metalloids are not biodegradable and accumulate in compartments such as water, soil and plants, threatening human and environmental health. Monitoring studies show that heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, zinc, copper, chromium and trace elements are in first place according to their availability in the environment. Preventive and remedial measures should be taken to reduce the effects of heavy metals. Legal regulations, monitoring studies, the use of soluble and non-toxic compounds in environmental compartments (air, water, soil and plants) in industrial processes, heavy metal-free pesticides, appropriate wastewater treatment plants and use of renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels are among the priority measures to reduce concentrations of heavy metals in the environment. As a bioremediation approach, removing toxic wastes from the environment by using bioaccumulatory organisms such as plants or mussels maintains its importance among studies aimed at recovery. Studies have shown that integrated methods - especially the combination of suitable plants and microorganisms - are very effective in mitigating the effect of heavy metals in the environment.

“…For this reason, it is inconvenient to consume this sh species once a week in terms of Cd and Pb metals. The majority of studies conducted with different sh species at different times have shown that consuming sh grown in the Marmara Sea is not risky for health(Güngör and Kara 2018;Cucu et al 2019;Dökmeci 2021). In addition, studies are showing that some metals are above the permissible limits and should be consumed carefully(Köker et al 2021a).…”

Aquaculture is an important nutrient for humans, and their living environment, sea water, must be of high quality. Toxic metals are one of the most important causes of marine pollution and marine organisms can accumulate such compounds in their bodies. It is extremely important to evaluate the health risks of fish, which is the most consumed sea creature by humans, in terms of toxic elements for public health. In this study, some heavy metal concentrations were determined using FAAS in the muscle and liver tissues of Trachurus trachurus species grown in the Marmara Sea, and the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk possibilities related to these heavy metals were evaluated. According to the results of the research, it was seen that there was no relationship between fish weight and length and element content in muscle tissue. Compared with muscle tissue, liver tissue accumulated more metal content. It was determined that all elemental concentrations in muscle tissue were below the permissible limit. In addition, it was observed that these fish species were weak in terms of nutritional elements. The estimated daily intake values of all elements were found to be much lower than the reference doses. The target hazard quotient and hazardous index values for essential and toxic elements were below the limit value. It was decided that daily consumption of these fish does not pose a lifelong carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic health risk. The Pb concentration detected in the liver was observed to exceed the permissible limit. This situation suggests that the Marmara Sea should be examined in terms of Pb pollution.
