Heavy metal contamination in water of Indus River and its tributaries, Northern Pakistan: evaluation for potential risk and source apportionment

Said Muhammad et al.

Summary: The study revealed that heavy metal contamination in the water of Indus River and its tributaries in northern Pakistan is relatively low, with most water samples meeting the WHO drinking water guidelines. The bedrock geology plays a significant role in the distribution of heavy metals in the water of the study area.

Assessment of Heavy Metal Concentration in Water, Sediment and Common Fish Species of Dhaleshwari River in Bangladesh and their Health Implications

Evena Parvin Lipy et al.

Summary: This study focused on evaluating the pollution levels in Dhaleshwari River in Bangladesh due to heavy metal discharge from tanneries and other industries, as well as the associated health risks of consuming fish with accumulated heavy metals. The results showed that heavy metal concentrations in water and sediment exceeded WHO and USEPA standards, with seasonal variations observed. Fish organs had high metal concentrations, especially in gills, posing health risks upon consumption.

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in water, sediment, and tissues of major fisheries from Adyar estuary, southeast coast of India: An ecotoxicological impact of a metropolitan city

N. Rubalingeswari et al.

Summary: The study found heavy metal bioaccumulation in water, sediment, and tissues of commonly consumed fishes in the Adyar estuary due to contaminated water discharge from Chennai Metropolis. Metals like Cr and Cu were highly enriched, exceeding the WHO standards, with significant accumulation in fish tissues compared to water concentrations. Arius parkii and Gerres oyena showed higher levels of toxic metal bioaccumulation among the studied fishes.

Levels of toxic metals in edible fish species of the Tigris River (Turkey); Threat to public health

Yalcin Tore et al.

Summary: The study assessed the levels of heavy metals in fish species from the Tigris River in Turkey and found that most of them were below the maximum permissible limits, posing no health risk to consumers. However, some species showed elevated levels of certain heavy metals, indicating a potential toxicological hazard to community health.

Correlation between Heavy Metal-Induced Histopathological Changes and Trophic Interactions between Different Fish Species

Bianca Onita (Mladin) et al.

Summary: The study found a significant correlation between the bioconcentration of heavy metals and structural changes in different feeding habit fish species, with carnivorous species being most affected and kidney being the most affected organ. Herbivorous species showed less extensive lesions, likely due to higher activated repair mechanisms and lower levels of inflammation as indicated by PCNA and TNF-alpha expression levels. Feeding behavior could be used for a more in-depth evaluation of aquatic environment safety and analysis of aquatic ecosystems based on data and statistical analysis.

Metal Bioaccumulation in the Gill, Liver, and Muscle of Bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) From the Northeastern Mediterranean and Human Health Risk Assessment Associated with Their Seasonal Consumption

Gulsun Ozyurt et al.

Summary: The study found that heavy metals are continuously released into the oceans from both natural and anthropogenic sources, posing serious threats to both aquatic ecosystems and human health. The research provided valuable information on the health of the Northeastern Mediterranean aquatic ecosystem and the potential human health risks. While there was an inflow of metals into Iskenderun Bay, no significant metal accumulation was found in bluefish tissues at a rate that would harm human health.
