Quantitative, rapid, selective and sensitive methods for the determination of total arsenic (tAs) six compounds (arsenite (As(III)), arsenate (As(V)), arsenobetaine (AsB), arsenocholine (AsC), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), dimethylarsonic (DMA)) in seafood were developed. The measurement tAs concentration was performed using quadrupole inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Microwave-assisted extraction used isolation species. separation quantification analysed by...
Non-ferrous metal mining is considered one of the largest sources toxic released to environment and may threaten ecosystems, notably biota. We explored how birds that inhabit non-ferrous sites are exposed mercury, lead, other trace elements by analyzing their feathers verifying which factors influence element concentrations in feathers. sampled a total 168 birds, representing 26 species, with different feeding habits migration patterns non-polluted reference site two historical areas:...
The bioaccumulation of mercury (Hg) in the food chain may pose a threat to human health. risk dietary Hg intake is mostly caused by consumption fish and seafood, therefore knowledge on exposure from land animal products limited. In our article, we summarized results analyses muscle tissue liver different livestock game animals obtained during ten years official monitoring that was carried out Poland 2009 2018. majority were below limits quantification (LOQs). mean concentrations ranged 0.6...
Abstract As the data concerning element concentrations in human milk (HM) samples and their intake by infants are lacking Poland, present study aimed to explore this issue. The material consisted of HM obtained from 30 exclusively breastfeeding mothers during 4–6 weeks postpartum. Additionally, identify factors that may potentially affect composition, information regarding maternal (anthropometry, body diet) was also collected. Maternal diet assessed with two methods—a food frequency...
Venison is an attractive product for consumers concerned with healthy lifestyle; however, it can contain high levels of toxic elements, and therefore, a possible source hazardous contaminants in human diet. Antlers are suitable bioindicators environmental metal contamination, herein, we assessed the ability trace element antlers to indicate edible soft tissues. We determined concentrations lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) liver, kidney,...
Small terrestrial mammals could be used as accumulative biomonitors of different environmental contaminants, but the knowledge level Hg in their bodies is scant. The aim our research was to verify factors influencing bioaccumulation and analyze concentration total mercury (Hg) livers four species wild rodents from rural areas Poland: yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis), striped field agrarius), common vole (Microtus arvalis), bank (Myodes glareolus). analyzed liver tissue by atomic...
Abstract Procedure for determination of chromium in biological materials by Zeeman graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry method using a Perkin-Elmer spectrometer equipped with hollow-cathode lamp at 357.9 nm was developed. The samples animal tissues, food, and feed were digested muffle 450ºC. ash dissolved 1 N hydrochloric acid the final solution diluted 0.2% nitric acid. Magnesium nitrate (1%) used as matrix modifier. validated terms basic analytical parameters. mean recoveries...
Abstract Samples for analysis were collected from 10 areas, including the major Polish rivers and lakes, with different sources of environmental pollution (industrial, municipal, farming). The materials was taken lakes Mazury, located in a non-industrialised region, Brda River, an area impacted by pig farms, Lipczyno Wielkie/Pomerania, Wkra poultry Dunajec River at Roznowski Reservoir, Vistula Cracow Warsaw, Odra Wroclaw Warta estuary, also Rybnik Power Station Reservoir. Concentrations Pb,...
Abstract A total of 85 mussel samples eight species were examined. Analysis mercury in the freeze-dried was carried out by atomic absorption spectrometry method using direct analyser AMA 254. The analytical procedure for determination covered quality assurance programme research and participation national international proficiency tests. Concentrations all investigated found to be generally low, range 0.033-0.577 mg/kg dry weight 0.003-0.045 wet weight. results indicate that obtained levels...
Abstract Introduction: Hard antlers of deer are unique bioindicators environmental metal pollutions, but sampling methods presented in the literature inconsistent. Due to specific growth pattern and their histological structure, described were reviewed, suitability using mixed samples both antler layers as element was assessed, codified method used for bioindication described. Material Methods: Lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, copper, zinc, iron trabecular cortical parts hard red (Cervus...
The article reports a case of acute copper sulfate (CuSO4) poisoning in 2-day-old turkeys. first incidences were noticed 2 h after placing the animals poultry house, where turkeys provided with wood shaving bedding. Post-mortem examination showed shavings present gastric and intestinal contents numerous lesions alimentary tract: dark green color koilin lining, surface erosions, deep ulceration, severe congestion gizzard. (Cu) concentration samples liver, kidney, heart, gizzard content,...
Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate contamination animal muscle, liver, and milk with lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic. Determination elements carried out using several techniques atomic absorption spectrometry. Between 2008 2012, samples muscles liver from 1305 cattle, 2345 pigs, 758 horses (only muscles), 1721 poultry (chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks), 736 raw were collected. Only 48 (0.7%) exceeded maximum acceptable levels elements, especially lead cadmium. In case highest...
We aimed to investigate the concentrations of essential and non-essential elements in human milk (HM) samples. Additionally, assessment infants’ intake analysed was evaluated. In total, 18 were determined 30 HM samples exclusively breastfeeding mothers during 4-6 weeks postpartum. For analysis we used inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometry. Most (n=11, 61%) detected all The lowest detection level for vanadium (n=3, 10%). highest concertation reported copper (323.7 ± 98.0...
