The contamination of agricultural soils by the toxic trace metals arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) was investigated in an industrial district in Vietnam. In this district, irrigation agriculture is conducted via channels; additionally, there are two industrial parks on nearby agricultural land. The purpose of the study was to clarify the magnitude and spatial distribution the trace metal concentrations, the source of the trace metals, the difference was in concentration between the two industrial park areas, and the usability of the soils for agri

Trace metal pollution is of global concern due to its adverse effects on human health. Sediments in water bodies are a repository of pollutants, including trace metals, and since they are non-biodegradable, they have negative impact on the ecosystems. Trace metals are due to both anthropogenic and natural sources. Sediments are monitors of trace metal pollution. The study, therefore, aims at assessing the trace heavy metals (THM) in the surface sediments of coastal areas in Lagos State.

Among toxic trace metals, lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) can be harmful to human health in certain quantities.

&lt;p&gt;Accumulation of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu (HM) by spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) from sod podzolic sandy loam and chernozem soils, impacted by heavy metals pollution in the soils, is studied in the article. The aim of study has been to determine spring barley bioaccumulation capacity impacted by the HM pollution with the high level of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu concentration in soils. The HM concentration diapason caused biomass reduction – the scope of toxic tolerance was obtained.

Abstract:
The Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) is an accumulating plant and, as such, absorbs metals from the soil according to the different geographic regions in which it is found. In this context, some Brazil nuts can exceed the safe level of certain trace elements and thus become toxic to consumers. To provide risk assessment information, the aim of this study was to evaluate trace elements and radionuclides found in Brazil nuts from the Brazilian Amazon. Trace elements were evaluated using ICP-MS, however As, Ca, Cr, Mg, Hg and Pb were not detected. The levels of Fe, Zn and Ti were within the

The content of 12 elements in Cambodian dried striped snakehead fish was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The present study compares the level of the trace toxic metals and nutritional trace elements in the fish processed using solar drying system (SDS) and open sun drying (OSD). The skin of SDS fish has lower level of As, Pb, and Cd compared to the OSD sample. As such, the flesh of the fish accumulated higher amount of toxic metals during OSD compared to SDS. However, arsenic was detected in both samples within the safe limit. The nutritional elements (Fe, Mn, Mg

<strong>Abstract:</strong>&nbsp;This article briefly reviews the most common health risks associated with the accumulation of toxic trace metals lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) in human bodies. Although these trace metals can trigger any body organ, soft tissues are apparently more vulnerable to their toxicity due to changing in chemistry and metabolic activities of the body. Due to marked sensitivity of the body to Pb and Hg poisoning, the body tissues, especially those with soft nature must be avoided of exposure to these elements at all times even at their low levels of accumulation.<strong>Keyw

Increasing illicit drug use is one of the main problems in most countries or societies. Monitoring heavy metals and trace elements in this vulnerable group seems to be necessary. Therefore, we assessed the urinary trace element and toxic metals/metalloids concentrations (Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Arsenic (As), Nickel (Ni), and Mercury (Hg)) in opium, tramadol, and cannabis users compared to healthy subjects.

Environmental pollution of industrial areas and especially of areas which contain industries that involve processing of NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials), requires monitoring radionuclide activ- ities and trace metal concentration. In the gold mine facility of Stratoni region in Ierissos Gulf, surface sediment samples were analysed regarding TENORM (Technologically Enhanced NORM) and toxic metals (e.g. As, Pb, Cu, Cr and Ni). Radionuclide activity concentrations (226Ra, 214Pb, 214Bi, 210Pb, 228Ac, 212Pb, 212Bi, 208Tl, 40K) were measured by means of gamma-ray spectrometry using a
