The processed forms of milk, branded liquid, and power milk available in Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh, were investigated for essential and trace metal/metalloids regarding nutritional and human health risk aspects. For this, the potential nutritional contribution, estimated daily intake (EDI) and non-carcinogenic risk for six different lif...

In order to evaluate the benefits as well as the impacts of essential and toxic metals regarding human health, the six common rice grains (katarivhog, bashful, banglamoti, najirshail, branded miniket and loose miniket) were collected from four wholesale markets in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and were analyzed with different atomic absorption...

Background The largest contiguous tract of tidal halophytic mangroves in Bangladesh is about 10,000 km2. It has a wide range of physiochemical and nutritional qualities, as well as ecological health. Methods To understand the hazardous and heavy metal concentrations, ten heavy metals concentrations were examined in both water and sediment. Indices...

This study aimed to assess the level of concentration, nutritional contribution, and possible health risk for various age groups owing to the consumption of branded liquid and powder milk. Using atomic absorption spectrometry, sixteen liquid and thirty powder milk samples were tested for 13 elements. The concentration of essential elements showed t...

The consequences of climate change, food security, and self-sufficiency goals are driving excessive human activity onto vegetable farms in Bangladesh, and harmful heavy metal exposure is spreading. So, the study assessed the toxic metals (Pb, Cd, and Cr) exposure, characteristics, and human health risk regarding the soil-vegetable system of two dis...

Technological advances and socioeconomic development of Bangladesh are leading to the best choice between branded and non-branded powdered spices. But toxic metal issues can be another factor to elect them. So lead (Pb) exposure and its consequence on the human body for these two categories of four common spices have been ascertained here. A valida...

Climate changes effects, food security and self-sufficiency targets in densely populated countries like Bangladesh forced excessive human activities on vegetable farmland, and heavy metal contamination may result. An analysis of three toxic heavy metals, such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr), was conducted to determine their source and...

Bioactive compounds containing the four most common and often used powdered spices for food preparation have been studied concerning lead contamination and human health risk assessment, especially in branded and nonbranded categories. A total of 72 spice samples were analysed using Varian AA240FS flame atomic absorption spectrometry. A validated an...

This study aimed at evaluating the water quality of Bhatiari Lake (BL) for the first time based on water quality parameters, pollution indices, hydrochemical signatures and hydro-statistical analysis. Lake water samples were collected from the lake during April–May, 2019 and wide ranges of parameters were considered for the investigation. Except fo...

The fast-growing megacities in the South Asian region have been facing environmental issues such as heavy metal load due to anthropogenic activities including Dhaka city. Thus, this study was executed to understand the heavy metal contamination in the urban environment using a novel multi-sample (soil, dust, and tree leaves) approach in Dhaka city,...

The cleansing efficiencies of laundry detergents depend on composition and variation of ingredients such as surfactants, phosphate, and co-builders. Among these ingredients, surfactants and phosphate are considered as hazardous materials. Knowledge on compositions and micellar behavior is very useful for understanding their cleansing efficiencies a...
