Background: The association of plasma metals on the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in adults with prediabetes remains poorly investigated. To assess the association between plasma metal exposure and the risk of CVD in prediabetic adults in the United States using five plasma metals.
Methods: Five cycles of data (2011-2012, 2013-2014, 2015-2016, and 2017-2018) from the NHANES were adopted in this study. The plasma metals were measured in 1088 participants with prediabetes. We utilized multivariate logistic regression, WQS, and BKMR models to evaluate the associations between the five plasma metals and the risk of CVD.
Results: The risk of CVD in participants with prediabetes were found to link to the 2nd quartile, 3rd and 4th quartiles of cadmium on the basis of multivariate logistic model (OR = 3.03, 95%CI: 1.17-7.82, P<0.01). Moreover, the joint effect of the five metals on the risk of CVD participants with prediabetes were unveiled using WQS and BKMR models (OR = 1.79, 95%CI: 1.15-2.77, P<0.01). In addition, when the concentrations of the other four metals were controlled at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile, correspondingly, cadmium had a statistically significant positive association with the risk of CVD.
Conclusion: The exposure of metals documented by the five metals links to the risk of CVD in participants with prediabetes in the United States. Among all the five metals, cadmium has the strongest association with the risk of CVD in participants with prediabetes.

Humans encounter both natural and artificial radiation sources, including cosmic rays, primordial radionuclides, and radiation generated by human activities. These radionuclides can infiltrate the human body through various pathways, potentially leading to cancer and genetic mutations. A study was conducted using random sampling to assess the concentrations of radioactive isotopes and heavy metals in mineral water from Iran, consumable at Arak City.

Spot-urinary biomarkers are crucial in medical, epidemiological, and environmental studies, but their variability due to hydration levels requires precise dilution adjustments. Traditional methods, like conventional creatinine correction (CCRC), are limited in compensating for variations in urine concentration, causing substantial inconsistencies, particularly at the extremes of the diuresis spectrum. While restricting the creatinine (CRN) range to 0.

This research examined the potential human health risk associated with heavy metal bioaccumulation in specialty crops (lettuce, tomato, carrot) grown in soils amended with dredged material (DM) from the Toledo Harbor in Ohio, USA. The specialty crops were chosen to expand the scope of the study of dredged material, especially in Northwest Ohio. Previous studies have been focused on corn and soybeans, which are the major crops planted in the area.

Metals are micropollutants of significant concern in the aquatic environment, requiring continuous monitoring to assess their distribution and environmental risk. This study investigated metals in water, sediment, and bivalves at different locations along the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands-Belgium). The distribution of metals generally decreased from upstream to downstream in each matrix, with exceptions.
