Assessment of trace element toxicity in surface water of a fish breeding river in Bangladesh: a novel approach for ecological and health risk evaluation

Md. Refat Jahan Rakib et al.

Summary: This study analyzed water samples from the Halda River in Bangladesh and found that the concentrations of trace elements were much higher than safe drinking water limits, indicating that the water is not suitable for drinking or cooking purposes. Additionally, children were found to be at a higher health risk compared to adults, with arsenic posing a potential health risk to residents.

Plant-microbe-metal interactions for heavy metal bioremediation: a review

Md Saiful Islam et al.

Summary: The bio-remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils through phytoremediation can be assisted by plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), which can enhance the efficiency of remediation by converting metals into bioavailable and soluble forms. This process involves various biochemical processes that promote plant growth and increase biomass.

Human Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals Through the Consumption of Common Foodstuffs Collected from Two Divisional Cities of Bangladesh

H. M. Zakir et al.

Summary: The study found that the heavy metal content in some commonly consumed foods in the cities of Chottogram and Mymensingh in Bangladesh exceeded the recommended intake levels for adults and upper tolerable intake levels. Rice was identified as the most contaminated food item. Therefore, it is recommended that Bangladesh change its food consumption patterns by reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing protein intake.

Deciphering the origin of Cu, Pb and Zn contamination in school dust and soil of Dhaka, a megacity in Bangladesh

M. Safiur Rahman et al.

Summary: This study in Dhaka city revealed that dust at school compounds contained higher concentrations of metal(oid)s than soil, with some elements possibly originating from traffic activities and arsenic levels exceeding those in the Earth's crust. Multivariate statistics highlighted differences in the sources of various elements, while health risk assessment indicated children as vulnerable receptors.

Sources of toxic elements in indoor dust sample at export processing zone (EPZ) area: Dhaka, Bangladesh; and their impact on human health

M. Safiur Rahman et al.

Summary: This study investigates the sources of toxic elements in indoor dust samples from industrial areas and their potential health risks. The analysis revealed higher concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, Fe, and Sr compared to background levels in soil recommended by CEPA. Statistically, these metals were found to be non-homogeneously distributed in different sampling points, possibly due to anthropogenic events. Overall, the study suggests that the heavy metals in indoor dust samples may not currently have a significant impact on causing non-cancer and cancer risks to both children and adults in the DEPZ area, Bangladesh, but continuous monitoring is recommended.

Metals uptake and translocation in salt marsh macrophytes, Porteresia sp. from Bangladesh coastal area

M. Belal Hossain et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that salt marshes can be used for phytoremediation of metals, but research on salt marsh macrophytes in Bangladesh is lacking. This study evaluated metal uptake and translocation in Porteresia sp. from six salt marsh sites in Bangladesh. Results showed high metal accumulation in roots compared to shoots and leaves, with most metal concentrations below 1 in bioaccumulation concentration factor (BCF) except for Pb. Translocation factor (TF) indicated diverse metal mobility, with highest mobility observed for Mn and Pb. Regular trends among metals and sites were difficult to identify.

Simultaneous remediation and fertility improvement of heavy metals contaminated soil by a novel composite hydrogel synthesized from food waste

Tao Zhou et al.

Summary: Soil contamination by heavy metals is a serious global environmental issue, and a novel soil remediation agent, composite hydrogel, has been developed to simultaneously remediate and improve fertility in contaminated soil. The experimental results showed that the composite hydrogel effectively reduced the oxidizable state proportions of heavy metals in contaminated soil and enhanced soil fertility. Additionally, the hydrogel weakened the toxic effect of heavy metals on plant seeds, suggesting its potential for practical application in environmental remediation.

Bioaccessibility and public health risk of heavy Metal(loid)s in the airborne particulate matter of four cities in northern China

Yuxuan Ren et al.

Summary: This study investigated the health risks of major toxic heavy metal(loid)s in PM10 from four large cities in northern China based on their total contents and bioaccessibility. The levels of heavy metal(loid)s in the PM10 were generally higher in winter but lower in summer, primarily due to emissions from coal combustion and unfavorable meteorological conditions in winter. Most heavy metal(loid)s posed significant public health risk via inhalation exposure, but after accounting for bioaccessibility, the non-carcinogenic risk was negligible for most metal(loid)s, except for As and Cr.

Levels and health risk assessment of heavy metals in dried fish consumed in Bangladesh

Md. Refat Jahan Rakib et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the metal content in ten types of dried fish consumed in Bangladesh, finding that these fish species are generally moderately to highly polluted, mainly due to contamination during the drying process, atmospheric deposition, and anthropogenic contamination. The study indicated that H. Neherius and P. Chinensis are the most and least polluted species, respectively. For the general population, the health hazards from consuming fish remain within acceptable limits.
