The following study aims at assessing the health risks associated with consumption of most commonly consumed seafood in north-western part Croatia due to presence heavy metals. Samples were collected and analysed for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) content. Analyses Cd Pb carried out by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) whereas Hg content was measured using atomic absorption (AAS). Metal concentrations order > gilthead seabream, European hake, sardines, tuna fish Patagonian squid (Cd) metal highest concentration, other metals being Pb. have been used address Estimated Weekly Intake (EWI), Target Hazard Quotients (THQ), Indices (HI). findings revealed that tested metals, expressed on a per wet weight basis, did not exceed Maximum Residue Levels (MRL) those compounds mandated national Croatian legislation. However, HI above 1, indicating risk adverse effects this seafood. We conclude certain type such as should be limited when sensitive segments population children, elderly pregnant women are concerned. Our results strongly advocate more stringent quality control region.

The present study aimed to quantify the concentration levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and mercury, well microplastics occurrence in various tissues fish seafood species, commercialized Lower Danube River Basin. A health risk assessment analysis was performed based on PTEs muscle tissue. Estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), index (HI), cancer (TR) were calculated. It observed that species within category registered highest PTEs. For instance, tissue bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis (from Black Sea), value case Zn (37.693 mg/kg), presence polystyrene polymer identified. values associated with EDI, THQ, HI, TR PTE exposure significantly lower than 1.

Rivers, often the primary recipients of untreated domestic and industrial effluents, have increasingly become reservoirs potent toxins, particularly heavy metals, raising serious concerns for health both human aquatic life. This study investigates ecological risks associated with metal accumulation in sediments fish from Padma River, a major river system Bangladesh. Using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AA-7000 series), we analysed concentrations cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) zinc (Zn) across six urban areas, revealing significant variability among different stations. The highest levels were observed Chandpur Pabna districts, notably elevated Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb sediment samples. Ecological risk assessments indicated 'heavy contamination' Cr sediments, highlighting deficiencies waste management systems Omnivorous piscivorous species such as M. corsula, X. cancila, armatus Chapainawabganj, Pabna, districts exhibited higher compared to other species. Health indices THQ HI suggest non-carcinogenic Hg Chapainawabganj Chandpur. Additionally, severe long-term cancer dietary exposure (TR: corsula = 4.26 × 10−2) can be experienced by regular consumers contaminated River.
