BackgroundLagos lagoon is constantly being polluted from industrial and human activities. Fishes Lagos contribute significant percentages of fish consumption in the metropolises. Therefore, this study evaluated heavy metal concentrations tissues four species (Sarotherodon melanotheron, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, C. gariepinus, Ethmalosa fimbriata) lagoons their health implication. Concentrations metals potential hazard to consumers were with reference Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) Cancer Risk (CR).ResultsConcentration was below maximum permissible limit fish. Similarly, the. EDI all recommended allowance whereas, THQ estimated for less than 1. Consumption arsenic, nickel, cadmium might however pose carcinogenic risk.ConclusionsAlthough, measured concentration within limits consumption, calculated risk values indicated that Arsenic, nickel risks consumers. biomonitoring accumulation fishes must be put into consideration by regulatory authority.

Abstract This paper presents the reviews of scientific papers published in 2018 issues on effects anthropogenic pollution aquatic organisms dwelling freshwater ecosystem at global scale. The first part study provides summary relevant literature followed by field and survey based studies. second is categories different classes/sources pollutants which affect organism. composed several sections including metals metalloids, wastewater effluents, sediments, nutrients, pharmaceuticals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, flame retardants, persistent organic pollutants, pharmaceuticals illicit drugs, emerging contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, endocrine disruptors. final highlights research work new such as microplastics engineered nanoparticles organisms. Practitioner points Heavy concentrations should be assessed nano‐scale environment. Air could have long‐term ecosystem. Future studies focus bioremediations pollution.

Abstract Background Chemical pollution forms a severe threat for human and environmental health. While the risks European lowland water bodies are well known, there is little knowledge on remote aquatic ecosystems particularly mountain lakes, despite their importance provision of freshwater. Here, we critically review current exposure risk by chemical lakes present tiered approach how to advance effectively our understanding in future. Results Generally, pollutant monitoring data currently incomplete, with many regions substances having been only poorly investigated. More reliable exist persistent organic pollutants (POPs). However, increasing evidence that even exposed wide range pollutants. Among them potent pesticides used agricultural biocidal applications, such as diazinon permethrin. The follows complex pattern. Pollutants introduced into via atmospheric deposition run-off from watershed, but also local sources, like tourism pastoralism. Our assessment recent biomonitoring studies suggest widespread chronic toxic crustacean ranges. If ranges pastoralism, acute effects possible. Thereby, vulnerability has be expected high due harsh conditions at altitudes, organism’s traits, insular position lower species richness altitudes. Furthermore, biological processes leading degradation under ecological ecosystems. Conclusion sensitivity investigated, existing it very likely do suffer pollution-induced toxicity. To verify this suggestion expand knowledge, necessary future combine more holistic modelling links effects. Only then will possible obtain impact protect these fragile

Freshwater is a chief natural resource used for various types of activities in our daily life i.e. drinking as well different developmental purposes.An increase pollution level leads to instability environment and harm both the physical systems living organisms dwelling ecosystem.Various harmful substances present polluted water bodies form insecticide, pesticides, heavy metals, mills waste, crude oil are frequently released into aquatic ecosystem.When large amount these pollutants any body, causes an acute effect by rapid highscale mortalities organisms.Minor levels pollutant discharge result accumulation contaminants body composition fish species.Water effects classified chronic effects, which suppress immune-response, reduction metabolism, gills, epithelial layer species.Some diseases caused include fin rot, tail gill disease, damage hepatic tissues, also ulceration.This chapter aims reviews impacts on health species their ecosystem.
