“…Compared to other potentially hazardous elements, cadmium is rather soluble. Anthropogenic Cd emissions into a riverine environment are derived from industry operations (batteries and plastic industries) and agricultural operations (mineral fertilizer) [ 39 , 85 ]. It has been designated as a group 1 carcinogenic element for humans due to its lethal consequences such as lung cancer, proteinuria, and osteomalacia [ 86 ].…”

“…[ 37 ], chromium (Cr) plays a critical role in the metabolism of lipids and insulin. Excessive consumption of Cr can result in hepatic and renal dysfunction as well as pulmonary diseases [ 38 , 39 ]. Analyzing the anthropogenic impacts and ecological risks of trace elements can give an idea of how polluted aquatic ecosystems are caused by contaminated sediments [ [40] , [41] , [42] ].…”

“…For example, trace metals can be released in reaction to pH and redox potential changes. Long-term exposure to these trace metals threatens human health because they infiltrate the food chain (Ahmed et al 2022;Ahmed et al 2019;Omorotionmwan and Ighariemu 2022;Ighariemu, Belonwu, and Wegwu, 2019a). Crabs, lobsters, and shrimp are examples of benthos organisms that can gather food, water, and sediment-traced metal (Baki et al 2018).…”

Heavy metals are metal with relative high density known to cause adverse effects on humans health through the food chain. Edible parts of different shellfish species Crab (Cardisoma crassum), Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), Crayfish (Decapoda reptania) and Shrimp (Penaeus notalis) were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) for various concentrations of Pb, Cr, Ni and Hg. Concentrations of Pb and Cr in all shellfish species were above the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization permissible limit, while Ni and Hg were below detection limit. The heavy metal concentration in shellfish arranged in increasing order were Cardisoma crassum > Macrobrachium rosenbergii > Decapoda reptania > Penaeus notalis. The dangers to human health of eating shellfish from the Santa Barbara River in Nembe Bayelsa State were assessed. With the exception of Ni and Hg, the target hazard quotient (THQ) showed significant concern for ingestion of these shellfish. The hazard index (HI) suggests a high risk of human carcinogenesis. According to the life cancer risk (LCR) and total life cancer risk (TLCR) values, Pb and Cr levelswere notably high in youngsters. In conclusion, the very high quantity of these metals may be hazardous to shellfish directly or indirectly to people who regularly eat contaminated seafood. The consumption of fish from the Santa Barbara River in the Niger Delta may be hazardous to human health.

“…Growing industrialization and urbanization causes water pollution, particularly in the areas where rivers and the ocean meet and is currently on the rise [1][2][3][4]. Sources from many, including runoff from agriculture, inappropriate application of dangerous element pesticides or fertilizers, disposal of metropolitan garbage, including shipping the introduction of dangerous metals into the aquatic environment of the coastline is caused by a number of important factors [5][6][7][8].…”

The ship breaking area of Chattogram is one of the most ecologically effective regions in Bangladesh. It includes wealthy biodiversity that consists of numerous species which are endemic to this region. The impact of various physico-chemical parameters on pollution is a significant concern for both the environment and biodiversity. In order to evaluate the potential ecological impact, water samples were obtained using standard procedures from several sites within ship breaking yards. The values of physico-chemical parameters like, temperature, EC, TDS, TSS, pH, DO, BOD, salinity, oil and greases were found 29.65 ºC, 2028.87 μS/cm, 1014.89 mg/L, 7392.42 mg/L,8.03, 7.28 mg/L, 4.03 mg/L, 12.83 ppt, 7166.64 mg/L, respectively. A decreasing trend in the amount of trace elements present in water and sediment: Pb (0.46 mg/L) > Cr (0.49 mg/L) > As (0.205 mg/L) > Cd (0.049 mg/L). The concentrations of toxic metals, however, exceeded the permissible thresholds in both regions. Lead and chromium had no seasonal effects, whereas arsenic and cadmium significantly varied with the seasons. The evaluation of the heavy metal pollution index (HPI) and contamination factor (CF) showed that the study area had a critical score of water quality (HPI > 100). The metal concentrations had an elevated contamination effect (CI > 3). According to the study’s findings, the ship breaking site is moderately polluted with heavy metals and posed a risk to the ecosystem.
