The use of cadmium by man is relatively recent and it is only with its increasing technological use in the last few decades that serious consideration has been given to cadmium as a possible contaminant. Cadmium is naturally present in the environment: in air, soils, sediments and even in un...
A value of intake of heavy metals in human diets was also calculated to estimate the risk to human health. Vegetable samples were collected at the Sao Paulo General Warehousing and Centers Company, and the heavy metal content was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. All sampled ...
Often times, metals are suspended in air as vapor. It also biomagnifies across the food chain, causing adverse health conditions in human. This study evaluated the risks of heavy metals in atmospheric particulate matter (PM10) around gas flaring vicinity in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Materials and...
2.2. Non-carcinogenic health-risk assessment 2.2.1. Hazard quotient determination To estimate the non-carcinogenic risk of heavy metal ingestion resulting from protein powder supplement consumption, a hazard quotient (HQ) for 3 of the 4 metals (As, Cd, and Hg) was determined using the standard...
Among the metals examined, those with the most significant potential risks to human health were As and Cr. The city of Tianjin is located in northern China, and has a developed industrial sector, which leads to frequent haze and other air pollution problems. However, limited research has been...
Accumulation of heavy metals and human health risk assessment via the consumption of freshwater fish Mastacembelus armatus inhabiting, thermal power plant ... Javed M, Usmani N (2016) Accumulation of heavy metals and human health risk assessment via the consumption of freshwater fish Mastacembelus ...
Health riskBohai BayFourteen aquatic organism samples were collected from Bohai Bay, and concentrations of five heavy metals were measured to evaluate the pollution levels in aquatic organisms and the potential risk to human health. The concentrations of Zn and Cu were much higher than those of Cd...
Review of heavy metals in drinking water and their effect on human health. Int J Innov Res Sci Eng Technol. 2013;2:2292-6.Mohod, C. V., & Dhote, J., Review of heavy metals in drinking water and their effect on human health. International, Journal of Innovative Research in Science,...
Minerals are individual of the components of foods and are not produced in the body but essential for best possible health. Several essential metals are vital for the appropriate performance of various enzymes, transcriptional factors and proteins that are essential in various biochemical paths. Metals...
Heavy metals, such as lead, chromium, and cadmium, are common contaminants in cosmetic products and can accumulate in the human body through skin contact and ingestion. Prolonged exposure to these metals can cause severe health effects, including neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and organ damage [2]...
