Use of Fish as Bio-indicator of the Effects of Heavy Metals Pollution (2015, background): “Cadmium production, consumption and emissions to the environment have increased dramatically during the 20th century, due to its industrial use (batteries, electroplating, plastic stabilizers, pigment), and consequently lead to contamination of aquatic habitats [104].”
Heavy Metal Tolerance in Plants: Role of Transcriptomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics, and Ionomics (2016, background): “The 53 elements belonging to the d-block have been categorized as “heavy metals” based on their density (>5 g/cm3) (Jarup, 2003).”
Health risk assessment for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic heavy metal exposures from vegetables and fruits of Bangladesh (2017, background): “In contrast, some heavy metals (As, Cd, and Pb) have no known beneficial role in human metabolism and are considered as chemical carcinogens even at very low levels of exposure (Jarup, 2003).”

(2016, background): “Apart from soil contamination which may lead to the degradation of water quality and a series of negative impacts on the environment (Mulligan et al., 2001; Rattan et al., 2005), the propagation of heavy metals throughout the food chain have serious consequences for human health (Järup, 2003).”
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: from metabolism to lung cancer. (2015, background): “In addition to inhalation, it is well established that, in cigarette and cigar smokers, considerably greater amounts of PAHs are swallowed and enter the gastrointestinal tract than those that enter through the lung (Jarup, 2003; Nebert et al., 2013; Rozman and Klaassen, 2007).”
