Heavy metals pollution is a major concern on a global scale. The present work evaluated the cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) concentrations in water, soil, forages (Avena sativa, Brassica campestris, Medicago sativa, Pennisetum glaucum and Trifolium alexandrinum), milk and hair samples of cows. The samples taken according to trophic levels of the food chain were collected from selected arid regions of Khushab, Punjab, Pakistan and analyzed by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The concentrations of Cd and Cu were found in the range of 0.041-0.065 mg/L, 0.585-1.341 mg/L in water; 0.223-2.600 mg/kg, 11.550-15.853 mg/kg in soil; 0.0037-0.682 mg/kg, 3.0917-8.208 mg/kg in fodder; 0.0457-0.137 mg/kg, 0.0167-0.690 mg/L in milk and 0.043-0.112 mg/kg, 0.0427-0.497 mg/kg in hair, respectively. The Cd and Cu concentrations in water, soil, forage, milk and hair were safer compared to standard limits. Bioconcentration factor (BCF), Enrichment factor (EF), Daily Intake of Metal (DIM), and Health Risk Index (HRI) were found less than 1 in Cd and Cu whereas PLI<1 in Cd and PLI>1 in Cu that indicates copper pollution in soil. So, regular monitoring of heavy metals was required to appraise contamination levels in the environment.

“…The current HRI values, which were fewer than the amounts determined by Ghazzal et al [32] ranged from 0.012 to 2.319. When the HRI's f value exceeds 1, there are health hazards associated with eating fodder.…”

oil and water supply us with the essentials of life, including clean water, healthy edible foods, feed, fiber, shelter, and fuel. Soil also serves as a repository for soil and water are both central components of human culture. The close interactions between soil, water, plants and humans are very important for human health and well-being. This is a call for the submission of original manuscripts on this nexus that uses photographs to communicate how the nexus functions and its importance to humanity. This approach is based on a more photos, less words paradigm to create narrative photographic studies. More studies are needed that focus on different aspects of the soil-water-plant-human (SWPH) nexus. Any combination of the components of the SWPH nexus that includes the human component (e.g., soilwater-human, soil-plant-human, etc.) is welcome as part of this special section. The ultimate goal of these articles is to add to knowledge of the SWPH nexus in a way that incorporates art and culture into our scientific understanding of some of today's major global challenges.
