“…The Pb result of the present study was also lower than the values reported by Hamurcu et al [40] in apple (2.21 mg/kg), plum (2.82 mg/kg) and rosehip (1.54-2.86 mg/kg). Likewise the values reported for Pb in the present study are higher than the values reported by Nawab et al [41] in fruits from Pakistan and Prabagar et al [42] in fruits from Jaffna, Sri Lanka and the results of Uroko et al [43] that reported non detection of Pb in fruit samples from Umuahia market, Nigeria.…”

This work was carried out to evaluate the heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Fe, Ni, Mn, Pb and Zn) pollution load and health risks to the population of some local fruit samples in Katsina state Nigeria. Results from this study have shown that except for the mean concentration of Pb (1.152-1.623) and Cd (0.053-0.092), the mean concentration (mg/kg) range values of Fe (1.728-1.954), Mn (0.321-0.502) and Zn (0.263-0.967 ppm) in the samples were generally below the maximum allowable concentration for these metals. The risk level of Target Hazard Quotient below 1(< 1) was recorded for all the evaluated heavy metals for the population, indicating a no non-carcinogenic adverse health effect on the population. The Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk for the heavy metal Cd was at the threshold risk limit (>10−4) in all the sampled fruits in adults, while Pb for adults and Pb and Cd for children were within the moderate risk limit (>10−3). The cumulative cancer risk (∑ILCR) of the studied fruits was within the moderate risk level (>10−3) in adults and above the level (>10−2) in children. The results of the study have suggested that the intake of the local fruits in Katsina State is of public health concern as it may lead to an increase in the population cancer cases.

“…In the current study, the geochemical analysis showed that in addition to Cu, the heavy metals Ni, Zn, Cr, and Pb showed moderate soil contamination. In a study conducted in Sri Lanka, Prabaga et al [ 11 ] found that most of the accumulated metals are mainly concentrated in the leaves of the grape tree than in the fruit. A survey carried out on the west coast of the Oristano province (Sardinia, Italy) revealed that cobalt occurred at a greater level than the legal limit in one vineyard, and the long-term use of copper-based fungicides in vineyards does not represent a cause of concern for the studied areas [ 52 ].…”

“…Soils contaminated with heavy metals have become one of the major environmental problems around the world [ 9 ]. Industrial expansion, mine tailing, the combustion of fossil fuels, the spillage of petrochemicals, the disposal of high metal waste (e.g., batteries and metal scraps), atmospheric deposition, and agricultural practices may be the sources of heavy metals [ 5 , 6 , 10 , 11 ]. The agroecosystems are exposed to pollutants in fertilizers, biosolids, pesticides, and wastewater.…”

Heavy metal toxicity is a major threat to the health of both humans and ecosystems. Toxic levels of heavy metals in food crops, such as grapes, can have devastating effects on plant health and the market value of the produce. Two important factors that may influence the prevalence of heavy metals in grapevines are seasonal change and farming practices. The objectives of this study were (i) to conduct a detailed pioneer screening of heavy metal levels in soils and grapevine leaf tissues in selected wine farms and (ii) to study the influence of season and farming on heavy metal levels in soils and grapevine leaf tissues. Soil and grapevine leaf samples were collected from demarcated areas in selected vineyards in the Cape Winelands region of South Africa. The sampling was conducted in winter and summer from the same sites. The soil and leaf samples were analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) techniques. The pooled data from the farms practising conventional or organic farming showed that seasonal variation had no significant effect (DF = 1, 22; p > 0.05) on the heavy metal contents in the soil. When the soil data from the winter and summer months were compared separately or pooled, the influence of agricultural practice was well-pronounced in As (DF = 1, 22, or 46; p < 0.05) and Cu (DF = 1, 22, or 46; p <0.05). The agricultural practice greatly influenced (DF = 1, 22; p< 0.05) Cu, As, Cr, and Hg uptake, with little effect on Ni, Co, Cd, and Hg leaf contents. Generally, the heavy metals studied (Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) were substantially below the maximum permitted levels in plant and soil samples, per the recommendations of the WHO and Er indices, respectively. However, moderate contamination of the soils was recorded for Cr, Ni, Zn, and Pb. Remarkably, the Cu levels in the organic vineyard soils were significantly higher than in the conventional vineyards. Furthermore, based on the Igeo index, Cu occurred at moderate to heavy contamination levels.

“…Kegiatan budidaya pertanian merupakan sumber terbesar adanya logam berat Cd pada lahan pertanian (Fei et al, 2019). Pada perkebunan buah anggur di Jaffa Srilanka telah ditemukan akumulasi logam berat Zn, Ni, Cu, As, Pb, Mg dan Al pada tanah, daun dan buah anggur yang berasal dari aplikasi bahan agrokimia (Prabagar et al, 2021).…”

Konsentrasi logam berat pada lahan pertanian sangat penting untuk dipantau karena berdampak pada lingkungan dan kesehatan masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi mengenai tingkat kontaminasi logam berat pada lahan pertanian di Kabupaten Bandung (DAS Hulu Sungai Citarum) dengan menganalisis faktor kontaminasi, faktor resiko ekologi, indeks beban polusi dan tingkat akumulasi logam berat yang berasal dari sumber antrhopogenik. Penentuan titik pengambilan sampel tanah dilakukan secara grid pada satuan (unit) lahan pada peta penggunaan lahan. Pengambilan sampel tanah dilakukan dengan metode survey pada 273 titik lokasi. Sampel tanah dianalisis kandungan logam berat Pb, Cd, Cr, Co dan Ni, kemudian dianalisis pola sebaran dan kontaminasi tanahnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata konsentrasi logam Pb, Cd, Cr, Co dan Ni pada tanah masih berada di bawah batas kritis logam berat. Berdasarkan analisis kontaminasi dari faktor kontaminan (CF) dan potensi resiko ekologi (Er) menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi logam Cd telah mencapai pada kategori sangat tercemar dan sangat berpotensi pada resiko ekologi. Tingkat pencemaran logam berat yang bersumber dari aktivitas anthropogenik menunjukkan kategori sedang hingga berat untuk logam Cd.ABSTRACTThe concentration of heavy metals in agricultural land is very important to monitor because it has an impact on the environment and public health. This study aims to provide information on the level of heavy metal contamination on agricultural land in Bandung Regency (the upstream watershed of the Citarum River) by analyzing contamination factors, ecological risk factors, pollution load index, and the level of accumulation of heavy metals from anthropogenic sources. Determination of the point of soil sampling is done on a grid on land units on the land use map. Soil sampling was carried out by survey method at 273 location points. Soil samples were analyzed for the heavy metal content of Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, and Ni, then the distribution pattern and soil contamination were analyzed. The results showed that the average concentration of Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, and Ni in the soil was still below the critical limit for heavy metals. Based on the analysis of contamination from the contaminant factor (CF) and potential ecological risk (Er) it shows that the concentration of Cd metal has reached the category of highly polluted and has a high potential for ecological risk. The level of heavy metal pollution originating from anthropogenic activities shows a moderate to a heavy category for Cd.
