Heavy metals are transferred from the abiotic environment to living organisms, accumulated
in biota at different trophic levels, and thus contaminate the food chains/webs. Trophic …

Biomagnification of trace elements is increasingly evident in aquatic ecosystems. In this
review we investigate the drivers of biomagnification of mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and …

In this paper, we review the current understanding on ecosystem and human health impacts
from the atmospheric deposition of acidifying pollutants, eutrophying nitrogen (N), polycyclic …

This comprehensive review investigates the dynamic landscape of trace elemental analysis
methodologies applied to plants and food-based extracts. The exploration spans from the …

Non-ferrous metal mining is considered one of the largest sources of toxic metal released to
the environment and may threaten ecosystems, notably biota. We explored how birds that …

The concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals were evaluated in
shallow sediments, water, fish and seabird samples from the Cispata Bay, Colombia. The …

Heavy metals (HMs) have become a significant concern in the current era, with deleterious
effects on diverse living organisms when exposed beyond threshold concentrations. Both …

Nigeria receives copious annual precipitation to nourish its forests and agriculture, it has an
extensive river drainage system, and it possesses valuable mineral deposits that stimulate …

Due to environmental pollution, wild animals are exposed to various pollutants. Some game
animals, such as wild boars are used by people for food, but their meat is not evaluated …

Monitoring the environmental exposure of wildlife to toxic trace elements is important for
conservation. Sri Lanka does not have a biomonitoring programme for exposure of wildlife to …
