The objective of this study is to assess heavy metals, copper, cadmium and lead, uptake by food crops andvegetables grown in the greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region in Thailand. The three heavy metals were detected in three types of vegetables cultivated in three provinces Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, and Nonthaburi representing Greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region (GBMR). An Inductively Coupled Plasma method was used to estimate and evaluate the levels of these metals’ concentration in the vegetables, soil, water, manure, and chemical fertilizer. The physical and chemical characterizations of which were conducted to compare the heavy metals concentrations with similar characteristics. Heavy metals concentrations were compared both in wetand dry season. Moreover, the edible and non-edible parts of the vegetables were also considered for the comparative study and found a significant difference in copper (Cu) concentrations in morning glory.The concentrations of Cu were found in edible and non-edible parts were 0.38 and 1.10 ug/g respectively. To account the flow of heavy metals concentration in  certain location, a mass balance analysis was conducted for the three different provinces, and found that about 18 mg of Cu accumulated in all three provinces. The cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) levels were found to be insignificant. The contributions of the vegetables to the daily intake of the heavy metals from the vegetables were determined.

In this study, the level of arsenic (As), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) and also essential elements in beer samples consumed in Turkey were investigated using the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method. The heavy metal-induced non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were calculated. For essential elements, the calculated estimated daily intake of iron (Fe), copper (Cu), selenium (Se) and cobalt (Co) from beer consumption were compared with their toxicity reference values. Tukey post-hoc test showed that As was found at a significantly higher level when compared to Pb. Also, a significant correlation was found between As level and alcohol by volume percent. All samples had a hazard quotient and hazard index <1, indicating no non-carcinogenic risk from exposure to single or multiple heavy metals. Some samples exceeded the threshold limit of acceptable cancer risk for As in the high beer consumer group. This assessment showed that in addition to health implications based on the alcohol content of beer, there might be a carcinogenic risk associated with the heavy metals content of these beverages.

Henna and walnut tree bark are widely used by Libyan women as cosmetics. They may contain lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As), which, in turn, pose a high risk to their health. This study aims to determine the levels of Pb, Cd and As in henna and walnut tree bark products sold in Libyan markets. The products were analyzed for their Pb, Cd and As content by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after a microwave acid digestion. The results showed a significant difference between the henna and walnut tree bark samples in terms of their heavy metals content (p < 0.05). The highest heavy metal concentrations were observed in the walnut tree bark samples whereas the lowest was observed in the henna samples. In addition, 60% of the henna and 90% of the walnut tree bark samples contained Pb levels and approximately 80% of the henna and 90% the walnut tree bark samples contained Cd levels, which are much higher than the tolerance limit. However, As concentrations in all the samples were lower. The results indicated that such cosmetics expose consumers to high levels of Pb and Cd and hence, to potential health risks. Thus, studying the sources and effects of heavy metals in such cosmetics is strongly recommended.

Mangroves are woody plants that grow at the interface between land and sea in tropical and subtropical latitudes where they exist in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong winds, high temperature, and muddy anaerobic soils. The objectives of this study were to determine the selected heavy metals Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Lead (Pb) contamination in mangrove sediments at the Selangor River, Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia; and to compare heavy metals content in mangrove sediments between different plots and different sediment depths. Physical properties (sediment texture and sediment moisture) and chemical properties (pH water, electrical conductivity, and selected heavy metals) of sediments were determined by different plots and depths. The element of Pb was analyzed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), whereas Cu and Zn using the Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). Data obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) version 9.4 software. The results showed that the sediment texture was in the class of sandy clay, and soil moisture in all plots and at all depths were high. The contamination of sediment is affected by many factors, including soil pH and soil electrical conductivity. Cu, Zn and PB in sediment were determined around 1.00-10.60 mg/kg, 215.40-259.00 mg/kg and 18.83-28.59 mg/kg respectively, and were found to experience a significant difference between the plots, but not a significant difference between depths. The sediment in all plots and at all depths was contaminated with these heavy metals because of it being surrounded by residential and industrial areas, combined with particular recreational activities, agriculture and fishing along the Selangor River.

Rainwater samples were collected in Jengka, Pahang Malaysia. Temperature, pH, TDS, EC, Al, Cu, Mn, and Zn were measured. The concentrations of heavy metals (Al, Cu, Mn and Zn) in thirty-eight samples were analysed using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Statistical analysis results indicate that pH, TDS, and EC showed significant differences between wet and dry seasons. However, no significant difference was observed seasonally for heavy metals (HMs). All parameters, except pH, were below the Malaysian Drinking Water Guidelines (MDWG) value and the health risk assessment for HMs indicates the safe levels. Principal component analysis (PCA) suggests that HMs in rainwater in Jengka, Pahang were originated from natural and anthropogenic sources.

The research cared out to calculate the heavy metals deposition for the soil of the Blue Nile along the edges of two sides, starting from the Sudan Ethiopia border end to the Khartoum state in Tuti Island. The samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique. The results show that there is a significant difference for most of the concentration of the elements deposition on two sides of the Blue Nile outside of Nile channel for that area which covered by water after the overflow. Heavy metals Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, and Zn concentration deposition are increased in the direction of the water to Khartoum, while Ni and Pb concentrations are decreased in the same direction. K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Br, Rb, Sr, and Zr heavy metal concentrations are varied but in general remains equals.

The objectives of this research were, first, to determine the concentrations of certain heavy metals in the edible tissue of wild brown trout (Salmo trutta trutta) from two different rivers located in the Abruzzi region (Italy), and then, to investigate the levels of variation in vitellogenin (VTG) associated with the presence of metalloestrogens. VTG is an effective indicator for endocrine disturbance, and an increase in the vitellogenin levels in male fish is widely employed as a biomarker of estrogenic contamination in the aquatic environment. The muscles of the trout were analyzed for As, Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, Al, and Zn using an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), and Hg was measured using a direct mercury analyzer (DMA-80). The calculated values of the condition factor confirmed a healthy status for this species, indicating that the aquatic habit in both rivers is suitable for brown trout life. No significant difference in the concentrations of each metal were reported between the trout from the two rivers, and no significant difference for VTG levels were found between male and female fish. It is interesting to note the high concentrations of Al/Zn, while the Pb, Cd, and Hg concentrations in all of the samples were lower than those established by the European Commission.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the food safety and protein adequacy of meats from various animals in the Shuchinsk- Burabay resort zone. Materials and Methods: Samples of meat were collected from markets "Zhomart" and "Kausar." Two hundred and ninety-eight samples of meat were obtained: beef - 166, horse - 42, pork - 67, mutton - 8, and poultry - 15. From each carcass, part of the carcass, point samples were taken to form an average sample and conduct research. Analyses used inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography. The determination of amino acid composition was carried out following the chromatographic method for determining the amino acid composition of meat proteins. Results: The quality of meats from the resort zone was lower than recommended due to the reduced content of essential amino acids, including valine, lysine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine. Concentrations of heavy metals and radionuclides did not exceed maximum permissible limits, and trace concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, and lead were detected in all meat samples, except beef. The latter meat showed increased concentrations of mercury. Conclusion: In terms of quality indicators, all types of meat met standards; however, pork protein displayed the most favorable amino acid composition, both for content of essential amino acids and the ratio of amounts of essential to non-essential amino acids. For content of heavy metals, poultry and pork meats were safest.
