Impacts of lake pollution on tissue-specific metal accumulation in diverse fish species

Puntos clave

• Tissue-specific metal accumulation was observed in various fish species, highlighting pollution impact.
• Metal levels were notably elevated in fish from polluted lakes compared to cleaner environments, with some exhibiting over 200% increase.
• Observational analysis conducted across multiple lakes identified significant correlations between pollution levels and metal presence.
• Findings suggest potential health risks for both fish and humans through the food chain, necessitating further study.
