“…The concentration of Sn ranges from 0.67-2.13 mg/L. Again, the highest concentration of Sn has been detected in location D. The detection of Sn across all the locations is an indication of the prevalence of the use of antifouling chemicals used in shipping activities [3,43]. The metallic tin is not toxic, but when it is present in organic species, it becomes toxic, especially tri-organotin compounds, which are the basis of organotin compounds in aquatic environments [44].…”

Continuous discharge of industrial and domestic inputs from various processes into the Lagos lagoon has significantly affected the quality of the aquatic environment, as a result of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) being released into the harbour during anthropogenic activities. This study involved monitoring the concentration and distribution of heavy metals in Lagos harbour during the dry and wet seasons. The PTEs can pose a serious ecological threat to the marine environment as well as human beings when the level of priority metals like cadmium, lead, and chromium is beyond World Health Organization (WHO) limits of 0.003, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/L, respectively. The shipping activities within the harbour play a significant role in the generation of these toxic metals. The diverse nature of these metals coexisting with their oxidation states in aquatic environments and their bioaccumulation influences the toxicity of PTEs towards the living organism. The quantification of these metals with highly selective and accurate instrumentation is imperative. Ion-selective exchangers and other functionalized composite nanomaterial are critical for harbour water remediation because of the high risk that could be associated with prolonged exposure to these toxic elements especially when the carcinogenic risk value is greater than 1 × 10−6 mg/kg/day.

“…Environmental contamination by toxic elements is a global problem because of its persistence nature (Okoro et al 2012;Okoro et al 2018;Basheeru et al 2021). Studies have shown that these released toxic elements from industrial and agricultural wastes could undergo several physiochemical processes in the environment, especially in lagoon system which can lead to different organic and in organic speciation in marine environment (Okoro et al 2014;Okoro et al 2017;Basheeru et al 2020). The target organ toxicity of heavy metals in human beings is provided in Fig.…”

Recent potential application of rice husk as an eco-friendly adsorbent for removal of heavy metals

et al. 2022

Environmental contamination by heavy metals has continued to be a source of serious concerns to researchers because of its far-reaching implications on the earth as we know it. This is because environmental pollution occasioned by heavy metals (HMs) which are non-biodegradable pose direct or indirect negative effects on environmental health, including that of plants, animals, and humans owing to their increased bioaccumulation in environmental matrices. Wastewater from industries producing chemicals is disposed of directly without proper treatment into the environment. However, HMs enter the food chains and food webs via the air, water, and soil, thereby inducing several diseases and disorders in both humans and animals. The features of rice husk (RH) as novel adsorbent are because it is chemically stable as well as being insoluble in water in addition to its large surface area relative to other agricultural waste products. There is an increasingly high awareness of the roles played by RH in environmental uses or applications for the sequestration of environmentally harmful chemical substances This review summarizes some recent developments in the use of RH and its derivatives as an environmentally friendly adsorbent that is highly suitable for the removal of heavy metal.

This study evaluates for the first time the distribution and accumulation of butyltin compounds (BTs) in different compartments as seawater, sediments, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and mussels (Brachidontes rodriguezii) in the Bahía Blanca estuary. The samples were collected from six sampling sites with different anthropogenic impact. A better visualization and interpretation of data were achieved using chemometric tools (Tucker4 model), which made it possible to reveal the main relationships between the variables. This analysis showed the presence of BTs in all environmental compartments along the estuary, even in sites with low human intervention. The relationships found between BTs levels, seasons and environmental matrices show the importance of biological processes such as phytoplankton blooms and remobilization of sediments (by tidal dynamics and/or periodic dredging) in the BTs distribution and degradation. In addition, partition coefficients showed that mussels mainly bioaccumulate tributyltin through sediment, water and, to a lesser extent, from SPM.
