“…The exponential energy and water demand increase associated with this worldwide transformation has increased concerns over resource security [ 89 ]. Continuous evaluation of the potential dangers of PTMs to human health in the mangrove ecosystem is necessary for mitigation strategies to lessen the severity of the depletion and its environmental implications.…”

The present study aimed to assess the human health risks of six potentially toxic metals (PTMs) (Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn) in 21 populations of popular mangrove snails, Cerithidea obtusa, collected from Malaysia. In general, the concentrations (mg/kg wet weight) of Cd (0.03–2.32), Cu (11.4–35.2), Fe (40.9–759), Ni (0.40–6.14), Pb (0.90–13.4) and Zn (3.11–129) found in the snails in all populations were lower than the prescribed maximum permissible limits (MPL)s for Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. However, in the investigated snail populations, Cd (14%), Pb (62%), Cu (19%), and Zn (10%) were found in exceedance of the MPL of the respective metal. The target hazard quotient (THQ) values in all populations for Cu, Ni, Fe and Zn were all found to be below 1.00. However, for the THQ values of Cd and Pb, two populations exceeded 1.00, while others were below the threshold level. The estimated weekly intake (EWI) of all six metals for all populations was only 0.03–4.65% of the provisional tolerable weekly intake. This conclusively indicates that, based on the EWI, there are no health risks of the six PTMs in the consumption of snails from Malaysia since the assessments are dependent on the consumers’ body weight and consumption rate. Nonetheless, the present results indicate that the amounts of snails consumed should be limited to minimize the potential health risks of PTMs to consumers. The relatively low and weak but positive correlations of Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn between C. obtusa and their habitat sediments indicate that C. obtusa can be a potential biomonitor for Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. This is important for effective mangrove management from the perspective of the sustainable resources from the intertidal mangrove environment. Hence, the biomonitoring–health risk nexus of PTMs in mangrove snails is proposed in the present study.

The previous assessment intends to support the inaugural International Mussel Watch program's use of marine mussels as biomonitors of potentially toxic metals in aquacultural areas has been considered of low novelty even though it is a necessary biomonitoring. When it is looked into the connections between Mussel Watch and Nexus seafood-water-energy, the questions can be raised up because there is apparently no such discussion in the literature. Therefore, the objective of this review is to discuss the connections between Mussel Watch for potentially toxic metals and Nexus seafood-water-energy, based on the topic reported in the literature separately. The current short review can act as a springboard for additional insights to offer fresh perspectives and original suggestions on using marine mussels more effectively in biomonitoring investigations in connections to Nexus seafood-water-energy. Nowadays, the biomonitoring by using Mussel Watch has remained effective and sustainable which further highlighted their importance in pollution monitoring. The likelihood of improved and wider-ranging molluscan uses in environmental monitoring in the future is almost inevitable. However, more research is still needed to address the rising demand in line with sustainable, attainable United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (‘‘Responsible consumption and production’’, and ‘Good Health and Well-beings’). This is surely a major player in the Nexus’s seafood in cycle with water and energy that should be addressed in future biomonitoring studies.

“…Due to the restrictions of production and breeding areas, they often need to be transported all over the world [ 4 ]. During the long-term transportation and storage, inappropriate conditions, such as incorrect temperature, may cause their corruption and deterioration [ 5 , 6 ], thus resulting in low quality products. Generally, the freshness of meat and seafood can be judged by sensory score [ 7 ], color difference value, texture index [ 8 , 9 ], total colony count [ 10 ], pH value [ 11 ], and biogenic amine content [ 12 ].…”

Herein, we developed a paper-based smart sensing chip for the real-time, visual, and non-destructive monitoring of food freshness using a ratiometric aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen (i.e., H+MQ, protonated 4-(triphenylamine)styryl)quinoxalin-2(1H)-one) as pH sensitive indicators. Upon exposure to amine vapors, the deprotonation of H+MQ occurs and triggers its color change from blue to yellow, with the fluorescence redshift from blue to amaranth. Consequently, we successfully achieved the sensitive detection of ammonia vapors by recording the bimodal color and fluorescence changes. Given the high sensitivity of H+MQ to ammonia vapor, a paper-based smart sensor chip was prepared by depositing H+MQ on the commercial qualitative filter paper through a physical deposition strategy. After being placed inside the sealed containers, the developed H+MQ-loaded paper chip was applied to the real-time monitoring of biogenic amine contents according to its color difference and ratio fluorescence change. The detection results were further compared with those obtained by the high-performance liquid chromatography method, which verified the feasibility of the designed paper chip for the food spoilage degree evaluation. Briefly, this work indicates that the designed H+MQ-loaded paper chip could be a promising approach for improving food freshness monitoring.
