“…Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, manganese, as well as arsenic could arrive the body by the gastrointestinal system or the entrance of digestive system while eating, drinking, or eating fruits and vegetables. The bulk of bodily heavy metals are transferred from blood to tissues [60,61]. Red blood cells passes lead to not only the liver but also kidneys, where it is subsequently re-assigned as phosphate salt to the teeth, bone as well as hair [62][63][64].…”

“…The negative repercussions might include everything from a painful bone condition called ostemalacia to red blood cell disintegration and renal issues. High lead in the blood can induce hypertension, nephritis, and cardiovascular illness, as well as affecting children's cognitive development [61,93,94]. Cu as well as Zn can lead to acute stomach and bowel issues as well as liver damage [95][96][97].…”

Vegetables are a prevalent nutrition for people all over the world because they are high in important nutrients, antioxidants, and metabolites that function as buffers for acidic compounds created during digestion. Vegetables, on the other hand, absorbed both vital and poisonous substances through the soil. Possible human health concerns, including as cancer and renal damage, have been linked to the consumption of heavy metal-contaminated vegetables (HMs). Heavy metals like Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Hg were found in high concentrations in popular vegetables such as Amaranthus tricolour L., Chenopodium album L., Spinacia oleracea, Coriandrum sativum, Solanum lycopersicum, and Solanum melongena. The toxicity, fortification, health hazard, and heavy metals sources grown in soil are detailed in this review study.

There has been a rapid increase in the usage of carcinogenic organic and inorganic compounds such as dyes, heavy metals, and phenols due to the rise in industrialization. Around 70% of the industrial effluents are dumped into the aquatic system without being treated where they pollute the usable water supply. These elements can also harm the human health by entering the food chain. According to the current population growth rate, 3.5 billion people are expected to face water scarcity by 2025. Therefore, the need to eliminate these pollutants is growing day by day. Nanobioremediation, a combination of bioremediation and nanotechnology is a competent way to remove contaminants from aquatic systems as it is a non-toxic, cost-effective, and less time-consuming approach. Nanotechnology has compelling capability, and thus, the applications of nanoparticles will escalate in the near future, and it will be a significant part of sustainable development. This review summarizes how various nanomaterials have the potential to degrade contaminants and how it can be used in the form of adsorbents, sensors, membranes, nano-catalysts, and nano-filters to remediate contaminants from marine systems. In addition to this, various limitations of nanobioremediation and the factors responsible for efficiency of nanomaterials are also discussed in this review paper.

“…Since many farms around Delhi use the water from this river for agricultural purposes, the heavy metals, such as lead and chromium, from the water eventually find their way into the food chains, causing great health concerns and leading to numerous diseases in humans and animals [4]. Further, heavy metals are found in the earth's crust and may enter water resources through natural processes, i.e., heavy rain falls that leach them out of the soil and add them to local streams and eventually poured into Yamuna river [5][6][7][8][9][10]. In this context, Yamuna river is facing its darkest point in history, not only because of the large amounts of contaminants being continually added to it, but also because the alternative water resources in the area are being exhausted due to environmental mismanagement.…”

Background: According to Hindu mythology, Yamuna River plays an impotent role as a holy water resource in Delhi, India. The lead and chromium concentrations were determined from the water samples collected from five different locations around this river in Delhi area. The contaminated water from this river is mostly used for drinking, agriculture, aquaculture, and storage as a holy water. Methods: The seasonal variations of heavy metal concentrations in the water samples collected from Yamuna river were determined for the summer, monsoon and winter supplies, using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Results: In the summer water samples, we found greater concentrations of both heavy metals than those for the monsoon season. The concentrations of lead and chromium in the water samples were higher than the permissible limits recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The water quality was not safe for drinking, cleaning and agriculture, nor for the aquatic animals, such as fish, amphibians and others. Conclusion: The condition of the water in Yamuna river is of great health concerns. Therefore, it is vital to take necessary actions to decontaminate the water from this river, and to draw effective strategies to minimize or prevent the current and future contaminations added to this important water resource in India.
