“…It is well known that, in reality, species can be exposed to contaminants not only throughout their entire life but also over many generations, which may have a greater impact on the population [121]. Thus, despite many short-term studies assessing NPs and/or HMs exposure outcomes [69,79,80], several studies have evaluated the impacts of the individual or mutual NP and HM long-term or multigenerational exposure [122][123][124][125]. It was evident that the outcomes of the co-exposure to NPs and HMs during the parental generation can affect the health of offspring in various ways.…”

“…The appropriate test design should consider several factors, such as the exposure media effect, NPs aggregation behavior in the test medium, the physical interactions between NPs and HMs, the physical interactions between NPs and organisms, the possible cell membrane disruption, and the potential free metal ions release. In addition, due to the growing number and variety of NPs, e.g., carbon-based NPs, other factors to be considered for the development of test designs include NP size, shape, and even surface functionalization [123]. Moreover, long-term exposure studies are required, particularly with the continual uptake and accumulation of NPs and HMs in the tissues of the living organisms.…”

Wide nanotechnology applications and the commercialization of consumer products containing engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have increased the release of nanoparticles (NPs) to the environment. Titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, and silica NPs are widely implicated NPs in industrial, medicinal, and food products. Different types of pollutants usually co-exist in the environment. Heavy metals (HMs) are widely distributed pollutants that could potentially co-occur with NPs in the environment. Similar to what occurs with NPs, HMs accumulation in the environment results from anthropogenic activities, in addition to some natural sources. These pollutants remain in the environment for long periods and have an impact on several organisms through different routes of exposure in soil, water, and air. The impact on complex systems results from the interactions between NPs and HMs and the organisms. This review describes the outcomes of simultaneous exposure to the most commonly found ENMs and HMs, particularly on soil and aquatic organisms.

“…The presence of cadmium (Cd) in high levels may produce toxic effects in plants, such as a reduction of metabolic activity of plants and induce oxidative damage, chlorosis, rolling of leaves and stunting, lipid peroxidation, alter the uptake of other minerals, and inhibits the nitrate reductase activity in shoots (Edelstein andBen-Hur 2018, Patra et al 2020). Therefore, because Cd can accumulate in several plant species, there is an increased risk of its consumption and subsequent transference to higher levels of the trophic chain, including humans (Cambra et al 1999, Sharma et al 2015, Fajana et al 2020. In humans, Cd is considered a nephrotoxic metal (Thomas et al 2013).…”

The presence of toxic metals in vegetables of daily consumption is a concern for human health. Little is known about the concentration of toxic metals in vegetables sold in markets in Quito, Ecuador, and the corresponding risk to the population. This study aimed to measure the concentration of cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce, to estimate the risk for human health, and to determine the trophic transfer factor using Drosophila melanogaster flies. Vegetable samples were obtained from four local markets in Quito to measure the concentration of Cd and Pb (expressed in mg/kg of dry weight) in the vegetables by microwave-assisted acid digestion and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Drosophila melanogaster flies were fed with contaminated vegetables to determine de trophic transfer factor of metals in the trophic chain. Our results showed the highest accumulation of Pb and Cd occurred in lettuce. In all cases, the Pb and Cd concentrations exceeded the maximum levels established by the Food and Agriculture Organization. However, the daily intake of metals and the health risk index showed no risk from daily consumption. Pb’s trophic transfer factor was excessively high in the tomato-fed flies, showing transference and accumulation in the flies. Cadmium concentration in tomato-fed flies was also the highest among the three vegetables. The trophic chain transfer of toxic metals from vegetables to Drosophila has been observed through a high accumulation of these metals in flies, and this suggests a negative impact on both human health and ecosystems.
