Human health risk assessment of heavy metals in tropical fish and shellfish collected from the river Buriganga, Bangladesh
Md. Kawser Ahmed,Mohammad Abdul Baki,Md. Saiful Islam,Goutam Kumar Kundu,Md. Habibullah-Al-Mamun,Md. Habibullah-Al-Mamun,Santosh Kumar Sarkar,Md. Muzammel Hossain +7 more
TL;DR: Although consumption of fish at current accumulation level is safe but continuous and excess consumption for a life time of more than 70 years has probability of target cancer risk, there were significant differences in metal accumulation among different fish, prawn, or shellfish species.

Soo Hui Awa,Tony Hadibarata +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review article comprehensively discusses the source and effect of heavy metal on human health as well as phytoremediation techniques and mechanism during the heavy metal removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal accumulation in a biological indicator ( Ulva rigida ) from the lagoon of Venice (Italy)
TL;DR: Metal concentrations determined in this macroalga support the conclusion that the studied area is rich in bioavailable Fe and poor in toxic metals, although seasonal active accumulation occurs in some cases (Mn).
Journal ArticleDOI
The geobiochemistry of cobalt
TL;DR: In the crust of the Earth cobalt is present in a greater abundance than lead, molybdenum or cadmium as mentioned in this paper, and the processes which control or influence the transfer of this element in major ecosystems are evaluated in terms of bioavailability to plants, animals and man.

British Isles coastal waters: The concentrations of selected heavy metals in sea water, suspended matter and biological indicators — A pilot survey
TL;DR: The results show that there are some areas where significant contamination exists, and the east Irish Sea appears to have the highest concentrations of most metals as mentioned in this paper, however, data in most regions indicate that the concentrations of the metals examined are not significantly higher than those in the open Atlantic Ocean adjacent to the British Isles.
