“…In high-polluted area, the mean levels in edible portions of vegetables (0.048 mg/kg fresh weight) were similar to the results from other contaminated areas in China [26,27]. Except for asparagus lettuce and celery in high-polluted area, the maximum Cd concentrations of all tested vegetable were below the MAL set by Chinese government.…”

Dietary exposure of cadmium (Cd) has not been studied in Southwest China. The objective of the study was to determine the pollution characteristics and contamination levels in various agriculture products in Southwest China and to conduct a comparison of dietary exposure assessment of Cd in polluted and non-polluted areas. Results showed that the mean Cd contents in rice were 0.53 and 0.52 mg/kg in the high-polluted and low-polluted areas, respectively, with the average value was 0.03 mg/kg in the control area. The mean dietary Cd exposure from rice and vegetables of the selected non-occupational residents in Southwest China was 113.10 μg/kg bodyweight (bw)/month, 88.80 μg/kg bw/month, and 16.50 μg/kg bw/month in the high-polluted, low-polluted, and control areas, respectively, which correspond to 4.5 times, 3.6 times, and 0.66 times of the provisional tolerable monthly intake (25 μg/kg bw/month) established by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives. The findings indicated that the risk for Cd exposure of residents was high due to home-grown food (most especially rice) being near polluted areas and is of great concern.

“…Figure 3 show that the highest HI was found in I. batatas (7.99) followed by A. hybridus (2.88) > A. esculentus (0.76) > S. melongena (0.66). When the HI surpasses unity, this tells us that eating of the food can cause health effects [49][50][51]. For our case, consumption of I. batatas and A. hybridus by the locals is posing high risks to their health as their HI was greater than one.…”

This study assesses heavy metals' levels in water, soil, and vegetables (Ipomoea batatas (Matembele), Amaranthus hybridus (Mchicha), Abelmoschus esculentus (Bamia), and Solanum melongena (Bilinganya)) from the Chang' ombe police garden located in Temeke district, Tanzania. Also, it examines potential health risks from consumption of the vegetables. The samples of soils, water, and vegetables were randomly collected, processed, and analyzed for heavy metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The heavy metals' levels in soil, water, and vegetables were in the order of Fe > Zn > Pb > Cu. Among the vegetables, I. batatas had highest heavy metal content followed by A. hybridus, S. melongena, and A. esculentus. The average daily intake for Pb (63 mg/person/day) was above the permissible maximum tolerable daily intake of 0.21 mg/person/day endorsed by WHO/FAO. Hazard quotient of Pb for I. batatas (7.12) and A. hybridus (2.46) as well as the hazard indices of I. batatas (7.99) and A. hybridus (2.88) exceeded unity, signifying presence of health risks from consumption of the vegetables. This study recommends regular monitoring of heavy metals in soils, water, and foodstuffs to prevent excessive accrual in food chain.

“…Health risk assessment has been widely applied in studies related to human health. Some of the notable indices used for health risk assessment include target hazard quotients, total target hazard quotient, health risk index and daily intake of metal estimated daily intake Wang et al [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]…”

Health risk assessment of selected heavy metals in gari (cassava flake) sold in some major markets in Yenagoa metropolis, Nigeria Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com MOJ AbstractGari (cassava flake) is a major staple food in Nigeria. It's also a major source of energy food to several families. This study evaluated the health risk assessment of selected heavy metals in gari sold in some major markets in Yenagoa metropolis, Nigeria. Triplicate gari sample were obtained from four different markets in Yenagoa metropolis, Nigeria. The samples were ashed, digested and analyzed using atomic adsorption spectrophotometer. Health risk assessment was carried out using target hazard quotient, health risk index and daily intake index. Result revealed that the heavy metals concentration ranged from 1.32-3.81 mg/kg (manganese), 2.21-5.66 mg/kg (zinc), 1.00-3.72 mg/kg (copper) and 11.16-38.75 mg/kg (iron). There was significant difference (P<0.05) in each of the heavy metals among the various locations. The target hazard quotient and health risk index values were <1. This indicates no potential health risk of the studied heavy metals in the gari among the population under study.Citation: Kigigha LT, Nyenke P, Izah SC.
