Determination of some heavy metal levels in three freshwater fish in Keban Dam Lake (Turkey) for public consumption
Due to industrialization, a number of factories and human population have increased rapidly. As a result, the amount of waste matter such as heavy metals released to the environment has been increased. Specifically aquatic systems are more sensitive to heavy metal pollution and the gradual increase in the levels of such metals in aquatic environments, mainly due to anthropogenic sources, have become a problem of primary concern (Ashraf et al., 2012). The natural aquatic ecosystems may extensively be contaminated with heavy metals released from domestic, industrial and other anthropogenic activities (Kamaruzzaman et al., 2011).

| Summary: | Due to industrialization, a number of
factories and human population have
increased rapidly. As a result, the
amount of waste matter such as heavy
metals released to the environment has
been increased. Specifically aquatic
systems are more sensitive to heavy
metal pollution and the gradual increase
in the levels of such metals in aquatic
environments, mainly due to
anthropogenic sources, have become a
problem of primary concern (Ashraf et
al., 2012). The natural aquatic
ecosystems may extensively be
contaminated with heavy metals
released from domestic, industrial and
other anthropogenic activities
(Kamaruzzaman et al., 2011). |
