Overview

Study reveals seasonal variability in heavy metals in fish from Vembanad backwaters, indicating potential health risks.

Key Points

  • Results show significant spatiotemporal variability in heavy metal accumulation in fish over three seasons.
  • Risk assessments using Metal Pollution Index and Target Hazard Quotient indicate possible health risks.
  • Analysis included 15 fish species and six heavy metals, utilizing ICP-MS and statistical methods.
  • Findings highlight the need for integrated environmental monitoring to protect public health and manage fisheries.
