“…These toxic substances the danger of heavy metals lies in their ability to accumulate in the bodies of living organisms, and the consumption of large amounts of food that contain high concentrations of heavy metals leads to poisoning in humans [14], who are the final consumers of these organisms [15], which is known as heavy metal poisoning, as they accumulate inside the body faster. from its degradation through the process of metabolism or excretion [16]. One of the most important symptoms of poisoning is anemia, emaciation and loss of appetite.…”

The sheep like other animals need more and more welfare to produce meat of good quality, Sheep welfare problems primarily arise from mutilations, lameness, transportation, and disease. With proper grazing, breeding, and husbandry practices, most health issues in sheep can be resolved or avoided. Grazing involves seeking and choosing feed as well as grabbing and consuming it. The manner in which ruminants or grazing animals grip and consume forages varies. These variations are connected to the sorts of fodder that various ruminants prefer. Heat stress, cold stress, weariness, prolonged thirst, prolonged hunger, hampered movement, movement restrictions, resting issues, social stress, pain, fear, and distress are the welfare types that sheep may encounter during caged, all issues due to shortage of welfare, this results in sheep inside the body that acts as a substance that cannot be used in the metabolic processes and is difficult to get rid of the animal is able to get rid of these substances accumulated inside the body that are difficult to get rid of the presence of natural toxins can be produced through the accumulation of some chemical substances and elements that the animal gets from the food. They come as residues from deteriorated cells or some vital processes in the body.

Most people utilize cosmetics to enhance or improve their physical appearance, regardless of their gender, race, or age. Heavy metals (HMs) are impurities or ingredients in many cosmetic products. According to recent studies, these metals can result in a variety of skin and health issues. Numerous studies demonstrate that the mismanaged formulation of such products without sufficient standardization of toxic metals throughout the production process is the primary reason for the high level of HM contamination in the samples. In order to prevent human exposure to such dangerous HMs, it is vital to monitor and manage the fate of HMs in cosmetic items, especially unbranded ones. Due to the wasteful interest of producers in making extra profit, the standards are not being imposed. Moreover, consumers are also ready to compromise with the product due to their unawareness of its hazardous impact on their skin and bodies. Short‐term results on their looks may cause fatal effects on their health. Another significant issue that requires attention is the lack of safety regulations in the country for evaluating HMs in cosmetic products. Additionally, there is an urgent need to establish acceptable limits for potential impurities in cosmetic products that must be enforced at local levels. This review provides a comprehensive insight into the content of HMs in cosmetics and their effects on several organs and the site of application.

“…The inflation of heavy metals in the body could damage the nervous, respiratory, or cardiovascular systems. Some heavy metals could damage different organs in the body distorting their functions such as the brain, kidneys, liver, lungs, and others leading to several disorders 9–11 . Moreover, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) regarded these metals as cancer‐provoking pollutants 12 .…”

In response to the growing concerns surrounding water pollution and the presence of multiple metal ions in environmental matrices, we conducted a comprehensive study to explore the potential of a thiosemicarbazone Schiff base in the Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (TSC‐ZIF‐1) as an efficient adsorbent for removing harmful metal ions from aqueous solutions. Our investigation assessed the adsorption capacity and efficiency of TSC‐ZIF 1 towards three key metal ions—Hg(II), Ag(I), and Pb(II)—in homo‐ionic, tertiary, and multi‐metal ion systems. TSC‐ZIF 1 exhibited unprecedented adsorption behavior towards all three metal ions in the homo‐ionic system, with the Langmuir isotherm models fitting well (R2 ~ 0.98 to 0.99). The maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 1,667 mg/g for Hg(II), as previously reported; 285 mg/g for Ag(I); and 769 mg/g for Pb(II); these values serve as baseline values. Subsequently, we conducted a comparative analysis for a tertiary system, Hg(II)/Ag(I)/Pb(II), where the three metals co‐existed in one solution. The adsorption capacity for each metal ion was reduced to varying extents; notably, the adsorption capacity for Pb(II) experienced the most significant reduction, reaching a qm value of 57 mg/g, representing an ~93% decrease compared to the homo‐ionic metal system. Conversely, the adsorption capacity for Ag(I) exhibited a minor decrease of ~3%. Despite a decrease in the adsorption capacity for Hg(II) by approximately 34%, the removal capacity remains the highest among the other metals. Our investigation of the competitive adsorption among the metal ions in the Hg(II)/Ag(I)/Pb(II) system revealed an antagonistic effect, indicating strong adsorption competition for available sites on TSC‐ZIF 1. When extending this study to a more complex multi‐metal ion system containing six metal ions, TSC‐ZIF 1 exhibited high selectivity (higher than 60% removal) towards Hg(II), Ag(I), and Pb(II) in a multi‐ionic system, including Hg(II), Ag(I), Pb(II), Cd(II), Ni(II), and Mg(II).
