Human health risk of heavy metal biomagnification: Trophic transfer patterns in aquatic ecosystems
Overall, the study reveals significant biomagnification of Pb and Cd, posing ecological and health risks, while Cu and Cr show biodilution. Mitigation requires integrated management, including source control, monitoring, ecological remediation, and public awareness.
