Estimated Dietary Intake of Trace Metals from Swordfish Consumption: A Human Health Problem
Abstract: Trace element (Hg, Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cr) occurrence was determined in the muscle
tissue of swordfish collected in the Mediterranean Sea to assess whether the intakes complied with
the recommended levels for essential metals and permissible levels for toxic elements. Metals were
analyzed by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Shimadzu AA 7000). The methodology of
Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) was also evaluated. The ranking order of toxic metal concentration
was Hg > Cd ...

Environmental and dietary exposure of young children to inorganic trace elements
Abstract
Children are exposed to toxic metals and metalloids via their diet and environment. Our objective was to assess the aggregate chronic exposure of children aged 3–6 years, living in France, to As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Pb, Sb, Sr, and V present in diet, tap water, air, soil and floor dust in the years 2007–2009. Dietary data came from the French Total Diet Study, while concentrations in residential tap water, soil and indoor floor dust came from the ‘Plomb-Habitat’ nationwide representative ...

Effect of Environmental Intervention on the Consumption of Rice without Toxic Metals Based on the Health Belief Model and Ecological-Social Model
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The effect of instructional models on the changing behaviour of consuming contaminated rice with toxic metals has not been investigated in Iran yet.
Aim: To compare effect of Health Belief Model (HBM) and Ecological (ECO) social model on decreasing the consumption of rice contaminated with toxic metals.
Materials and Methods: The study aimed at implementing a six-month interventionist program among three groups (HBM, ECO ...

Dietary Strategies for the Treatment of Cadmium and Lead Toxicity
Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are toxic heavy metals that cause adverse health effects in humans and animals. Chelation therapy, the conventional treatment for heavy metal toxicity, is reported to have a number of safety and efficacy issues. Recent studies have shown that dietary supplements play important roles in protecting against Cd and Pb toxicity. This paper reviews the evidence for protective effects of essential metals, vitamins, edible plants, phytochemicals, probiotics and other dietary supplements against ...

Dietary Intake of Cadmium, Lead and Mercury and Its Association with Bone Health in Healthy Premenopausal Women
Abstract: The bone is one of the relevant target organs of heavy metals, and heavy metal toxicity is
associated with several degenerative processes, such osteoporosis and bone mineral alterations, that could lead to fractures. We aimed to study a presumed relationship between bone density, evaluated by quantitative bone ultrasound (QUS), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and the dietary intake of cadmium, lead and ...

Cobalt toxicity in humans. A review of the potential sources and systemic
health effects
Abstract
Cobalt (Co) and its compounds are widely distributed in nature and are part of numerous
anthropogenic activities. Although cobalt has a biologically necessary role as metal constituent
of vitamin B12, excessive exposure has been shown to induce various adverse health effects.
This review provides an extended overview of the possible Co sources and related intake routes,
the detection and quantification methods for Co intake and the interpretation thereof, and the
reported health ...

Cadmium Handling, Toxicity and Molecular Targets Involved during Pregnancy: Lessons from Experimental Models
Abstract: Even decades after the discovery of Cadmium (Cd) toxicity, research on this heavy metal
is still a hot topic in scientific literature: as we wrote this review, more than 1440 scientific articles
had been published and listed by the PubMed.gov website during 2017. Cadmium is one of the most
common and harmful heavy metals present in our environment. Since pregnancy is a very particular physiological condition that could impact and modify essential pathways involved in ...

Associations between toxic and essential trace elements in maternal blood and fetal congenital heart defects
A B S T R A C T
Prenatal exposure to toxic trace elements, including heavy metals, is an important public health concern. Few studies have assessed if individual and multiple trace elements simultaneously affect cardiac development. The current study evaluated the association between maternal blood lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), and selenium (Se) levels and congenital heart defects (CHDs) in offspring. This hospital-based case-control study ...
