Reduced graphene oxide-metal/metal oxide composites: facile synthesis and application in water purification.

TL;DR: A methodology was developed to immobilize RGO-composites on river sand (RS) using chitosan as the binder and the as-supported composites are found to be efficient adsorbent candidates for field application.

Determination of toxic elements (mercury, cadmium, lead, tin and arsenic) in fish and shellfish samples. Risk assessment for the consumers.

TL;DR: The risk assessment performed indicated that fish and shellfish products were safe for the average consumer, although a potential risk cannot be dismissed for regular or excessive consumers of particular fish species, such as tuna, swordfish, blue shark and cat shark and common sole.

Determination of 20 trace elements in fish and other seafood from the French market

TL;DR: The levels of 20 essential or toxic trace elements in 159 fish, other seafood and seafood products on the French coastal market collected between January and April 2005 were measured by ICP-MS and the concentration ranges for the elements determined were compared with previous studies.

Concentration of heavy metals in seafood (fishes, shrimp, lobster and crabs) and human health assessment in Saint Martin Island, Bangladesh.

TL;DR: The muscle and carapace/exoskeleton of shrimp, lobster and crabs were analysed and contained various concentrations of Pb, Hg, As, Cr, Cd, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn; crabs showed higher mean heavy metal concentrations than shrimp and lobster.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal investigation of trace element contents in commercially valuable fish species from the Black sea, Turkey.

TL;DR: Trace element levels in analyzed fish species were acceptable to human consumption at nutritional and toxic levels and the levels of lead and cadmium in fish samples were higher than the recommended legal limits.

Assessment of trace elements in canned fishes (mackerel, tuna, salmon, sardines and herrings) marketed in Georgia and Alabama (United States of America)

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of 13 trace metals in 104 canned fish samples purchased within the states of Georgia and Alabama (United States of America) were determined using the direct mercury analyzer (DMA) and the inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES).
