Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the harmful effects of localized pesticides on the kidneys and liver of rats, revealing significant damage after repeated exposure to varying doses over 28 days.
- - Results indicated elevated liver and kidney function markers, alongside alterations in red and white blood cell counts when compared to a control group, indicating toxicity from both individual and combined pesticide compounds.
- - Histopathological analysis showed severe structural damage in both organs, emphasizing the need for public health monitoring of pesticide exposure in food and communities to prevent potential health risks.
Background: Health risks arising from heavy metal pollution have attracted global attention. As a result, many studies on the accumulation of heavy metals in soil-plant systems have performed human health risk assessments.
Objectives: We aimed to examine the ability of Zea mays (maize) to accumulate heavy metals and assess the bioaccumulation factor (BAF) by collecting, collating, and analyzing data on heavy metal concentrations in Zea mays.
Background: Rivers are the most vital freshwater resources in the world. In Southwest Nigeria, anthropogenic activity stresses the quantity and quality of water resources.
Methods: The present study examined the concentrations and human health risk of five heavy metals (manganese (Mn), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb)) in selected rivers in Southwest Nigeria.
Background: Many natural aquatic bodies have been contaminated with heavy metals released from domestic, industrial and other anthropogenic activities. Fish are an important bioindicator species and play an important role in the monitoring of water pollution.
Objectives: This study shows the effect of heavy metals on the distribution of glutathione S-transferases (GST), catalase, rhodanese and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulphur transferase (3-MST) isolated from the liver, gills, fins and muscle of Clarias gariepinus.
Background: Heavy metals in water systems are a human health concern as they can enter the food chain.
Objectives: Heavy metal and particle size determinations were used to determine the sediment quality of three fishponds in Osun State, Nigeria and their feeder streams.
Methods: Sediment samples were collected in triplicates from the streams and their associated fishponds and the accumulations of nine heavy metals (lead (Pb), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), manganese (Mg), zinc (Zn)) in the sediment were investigated seasonally.
