TLDR
The baseline study suggests that the levels of toxic metals in M. trapa, T. curta, and B. spinosa should be continuously monitored to assess the fate and effects of these metals in this fragile ecosystem.About:

Heavy metal distribution and contamination status in the sedimentary environment of Cochin estuary.
TL;DR: Correlations between metals, organic carbon, silt and clay suggested that both fine grained sediment and organic matter were important carriers for these metals, whereas enriched levels of Cd, Cr, Zn and Pb were mainly attributed to anthropogenic activities.

Comparison of elemental composition in two wild and cultured marine fish and potential risks to human health
Michel Marengo,Michel Marengo,Eric D.H. Durieux,Sonia Ternengo,Pierre Lejeune,Elise Degrange,Vanina Pasqualini,Sylvie Gobert +7 more
TL;DR: The results point to significant intra- and interspecies-specific differences between wild and cultured fish for several trace elements, with trace element levels in fish below those that could pose a risk to human health.

Bioaccumulation and human health implications of essential and toxic metals in freshwater products of Northeast China
TL;DR: The total hazard quotients of target metals in different aquatic product species demonstrated that co-exposure oftarget metals by consumption of these six species from Northeast China could cause potential noncarcinogenic risk to human, and the pollution of toxic metals in E. sinensis and C. auratus were most serious among all investigated aquatic species.

Mangrove Macroalgae as Biomonitors of Heavy Metal Contamination in a Tropical Estuary, Malaysia
TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive report describing the biomonitoring of metal contamination using macroalgae from Malaysian mangrove systems and found the concentration of Fe to be the highest among the studied metals in algal tissues.

Effects of particle composition and species on toxicity of metallic nanomaterials in aquatic organisms.
TL;DR: The results indicate that nanosilver and nanocopper causeoxicity in all organisms tested, with 48-h median lethal concentrations as low as 40 and 60 microg/L, respectively, in Daphnia pulex adults, whereas titanium dioxide did not cause toxicity in any of the tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomonitoring of heavy metal availability in the marine environment
TL;DR: It is not valid to compare absolute accumulated metal concentrations in biomonitors interspecifically, although interspecific comparisions of rank orders do allow cross correlations of relative bioavailabilities of heavy metals to different biomonitor at the same sites.

Metal contamination in urban, suburban, and country park soils of Hong Kong: a study based on GIS and multivariate statistics.
TL;DR: The Pb isotopic composition of the urban, suburban, and country park soils showed that vehicular emissions were the major anthropogenic sources for Pb, and metal contamination were mainly concentrated in the northern and western parts of Hong Kong Island.
