The concentration of the minerals seems to be higher in colostrum than in normal milk.

All colostrum samples were analysed for macromineral (K, Mg, Na), micromineral (Co, Cu, Fe, I, Mg, Se, Zn) andmetal (As, Ba, Cd, Li, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sr, Tl, U) concentrations by inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The mean K, Mg and Na levels were 1218.71 mg l^-1, 245.44 mg l^-1 and 358.62 mg l^-1, respectively.

Therefore, this study investigated concentrations of some PTEs (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni, and Zn) in water, sediment, and fish (<em>Sarotherodon melanotheron</em>) from Lagos and Ologe Lagoons, the ecological and health risks associated with the consumption of the fish as well as the likely sources of the PTEs.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Water, sediment, and fish (<em>S. melanotheron</em>) samples were collected monthly for ten months (June 2022 - March 2023) from three sites: Badore and Baiyeku in Lagos Lagoon and Ologe Lagoon.

Through comprehensive analyses, we explore the intricate relationships between soil characteristics, land use practices, and the distribution of key trace metals—namely zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn).</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The mean values of DTPA-extractable trace metal from soil profiles of different land uses varied from 1.75 to 2.09, 1.64–2.32, 1.18–1.69 mg kg⁻¹ for Zn; 0.59–1.02, 0.59–0.99, 0.64–0.92 mg kg⁻¹ for Cu; 12.12–16.49, 9.84–16.05, 7.94–11.56 mg kg⁻¹ for Fe; 7.82–9.99, 4.66–9.39, 6.51–7.46 mg kg⁻¹for Mn in soil orders Entisol, Inceptisol and Aridisol, respectively. The concentration of trace metals in different soil orders follows the pattern of ntisol&gt;Inceptisol&gt;Aridisol. In contrast, there is a considerable amount of variation and no discernible pattern in the distribution of trace metals under various LUSs in each soil order. Several LUSs were examined, and agriculture land use system (ALUS) had the greatest Fe and Mn content, while the horticulture land use system (HLUS) had the highest Zn and Cu content. The Irrespective of soil orders and LUSs, the concentration of trace metals decreased as soil depth increased. Diverse LUSs and management practices have a substantial impact on the physico-chemical characteristics of soils, which in turn influence the availability of trace metals. According to the Pearson correlation studies, trace metals were positively associated with soil OC and negatively associated with soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and there was also a positive correlation between DTPA-Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn in the investigated soils. The results of the principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that soil CaCO₃ and organic carbon (OC) content were the most variable soil parameters influencing crop trace metal availability in different soil orders and land use systems.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>The findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the dynamic interplay between soil properties and land use, providing valuable insights for sustainable agricultural practices and environmental management in the region.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of trace elements and minerals","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2773050624000478/pdfft?md5=5714b9f49bf16b501c85c05cc4ff5ad4&pid=1-s2.0-S2773050624000478-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141095578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
