“…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.

“…The order of contribution for the Cr intake is as follows: Indian/Malabar Spinach>Water Spinach>Green Banana>cauliflower>Tomato>cucumber. Chromium is also essential micronutrient for plants, but in high concentration it could be toxic for plants, animals and humans (Chen et al, 2014). Besides the positive effects of Cr for human diet, especially in carbohydrate metabolism, FAO set up the limits for Cr content in vegetables, while such regulations and implications in Bangladesh are still lacking.…”

This study assesses the levels of heavy metals in vegetables (Cucumis sativus, Solanum lycopersicum, Ipomoea aquatica, Amaranthus cruentus, Basella alba, Brassica oleracea, Musa acuminata) collected from Kawran Bazar vegetable market located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Also, it examines potential health risks from the consumption of these vegetables. The samples were randomly collected, processed and analyzed for heavy metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Among the vegetables Basella alba had the highest heavy metal content followed by Cucumis sativus, Amaranthus cruentus, Solanum lycopersicum, Brassica oleracea, Musa acuminate and Ipomoea aquatica. The average daily intake for Cr (0.245 mg/person/day) was above the permissible maximum tolerable daily intake of 0.20 mg/person/day endorsed by WHO/FAO (2013). The hazard quotient (HQ) values for Cd in Basella alba (4.400) and Brassica oleracea (1.333), for Cr in Ipomoea aquatica (1.756), Amaranthus cruentus (1.655), Basella alba (3.033) and Musa acuminate (1.333) as well as the hazard indices (HI) for I. aquatica (2.537), A. cruentus (2.791), B.alba (8.883), B. oleracea (2.295), M. acuminate (2.999) exceeded unity, signifying presence of health risks from consumption of the vegetables. This study recommends regular monitoring of heavy metals in vegetables and foodstuffs to prevent excessive accrual in food chain.
