In 2019, there was an environmental catastrophe in Brazil, when more than 5000 tons of unknown origin crude oil invaded beaches and mangroves. Two years later, two monitoring areas were selected to study seahorses' offspring: Massangana River estuary (apparently healthy area) Cocaia Island (affected area). Thirty-six reproductive events Hippocampus reidi (Syngnathidae) couples from these monitored analyze the offspring. At apparently area, no newborns with malformations found. However, offspring showed a mean 19.73% (±5.23) newborns.

Background: Superfood products are important components of the human diet, which may contain toxic heavy metals that have no beneficial function in body (e.g., cadmium, arsenic, mercury). Therefore, due to high demand for these foods, maintaining their safety is a significant public health concern, resulting an increasing number studies field risk assessment population exposure metals. Aim: The aim study was determine concentration selected individual superfood products. Methods: research material consisted 48 samples such as flaxseed, chia seed, black cumin, goji berries, buckwheat, millet, almonds, quinoa and green tea. collected were subjected mineralization process. In addition, performed by calculating hazard quotient (HQ). Statistical analysis using Statistica software cadmium arsenic. Results: highest level observed sample flaxseed (ground)—0.35 mg/kg. Again, arsenic found tea bags (21.94 mg/kg). showed adverse effects likely occur with consumption at both assumed average maximum concentrations (HQ > 1). Conclusions: There many foods on market accumulation various agricultural soils edible crops should be regularly assessed minimize problems.
