Journal ArticleDOI

Potential human health risks from metals (Hg, Cd, and Pb) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) via seafood consumption: estimation of target hazard quotients (THQs) and toxic equivalents (TEQs).

TL;DR: Cd and Pb THQ values as well as estimates of PCB TEQ exposure indicated the absence of health risks through consumption of the various seafood, while mercury TEQs values due to consumption of certain fish species (albacore, rosefish and thornback ray) indicated that human health risk might be of concern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increase in ascorbate-glutathione metabolism as local and precocious systemic responses induced by cadmium in durum wheat plants.

TL;DR: The changes that occurred in the ASC-GSH cycle enzymes of the leaves suggest that the whole plant improved its antioxidant defense, even in those parts which had not yet been reached by Cd, and further highlight the tight regulation and the relevance of this cycle in the defense against heavy metals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trace elements in loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) from the eastern Mediterranean Sea: overview and evaluation

TL;DR: Copper and selenium tended to be higher in liver than in other tissues and organs, while for zinc the concentrations were quite homogenous in the different organs and tissues, except fat tissue, which showed a higher accumulation of this element.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total and methylmercury residues in tuna-fish from the Mediterranean sea.

TL;DR: The estimated weekly intake was far above the established Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake for both species, and mercury was present almost completely in the methylated form in albacore and bluefin-tuna.
