“…Recent studies also revealed some heavy metals in different types of beans. Smith and Mohammed [29] found that Cr concentrations in the kidney beans and chickpeas from Trinidad and Tobago were within the ranges of 0.72-3.56 mg/kg and 1.73-2.44 mg/kg, respectively. Legumes in Iraq showed concentrations ranging from 0.039 to 0.369 mg/kg for Pb, 0.005-0.052 mg/kg for Cr, and 0.001-0.191 mg/kg for As.…”

This study described the distribution of As, Cd, Cr, Hg, and Pb in 692 bean samples from Zhejiang province, southeast China, and estimated the health risk using Monte Carlo simulation. The average levels of As, Cd, Cr, Hg, and Pb were 0.0349, 0.0379, 0.246, 0.0019, and 0.0246 mg kg−1. Correlation analyses showed very strong positive correlations for Cd-Pb in kidney beans and mung beans, Cd-As in black beans, and Pb-As in red beans. The target hazard quotients (THQs) were adopted for non-carcinogenic risk assessment, and THQs at the 50th percentile were all less than 1, indicating that there are no deleterious effects from rice exposure to these elements. When evaluating THQ for multiple elements, the certainty with a hazard index (HI) greater than 1 for children was 12.64%, for teens 11.54%, and for adults 1.01%. The sensitivity analysis reveals that the concentration of Cd in beans and ED (exposure duration) are the main principal factors that contributed to the total risk. The mean carcinogenic risks for children, teens, and adults were all less than 1 × 10−4, indicating no potential carcinogenic risk. Despite that, the routine monitoring of these elements, especially for Cd should be continued.

“…Heavy metals pollution is widely spread, due to rapid industrialization and current agricultural practices (Chukwulobe and Saeed 2014). These pollutants persist in the environment for a longer period, as they are not easily degraded by soil microorganisms and therefore can easily be absorbed by plants (Smith and Mohammed 2020).…”

“…Mung bean used as food for human beings and there might be large concentration of heavy metals accumulated in the human body (Manea, Ienciu et al 2020). Studies have shown that soils of refuse dumpsite contain different kinds and concentrations of heavy metals (Smith and Mohammed 2020). The rise in population in Shewarobit town has increased the number of dumpsite due to poor waste management schemes.…”

Vigina radiata (Mung bean) is an important legume species belongs to the family Fabaceae, cultivated in varies region of Ethiopia for its nutritional values. The nutritional composition of the crop affected by different biotic and environmental stress which depends on growth environment. The aim of the present study was to determine the concentrations of selected heavy metals (Pb, Cu and Cr) in seed of mung bean collected from Shewarobit, Northcentral Ethiopia using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Acid digestion with HCl, HNO3 and HClO4 for 1hr at temperature of 90oC to 95oC by hot plate digester. The level of the heavy metals in the samples were 2.51 mg/L, Pb; 6.53 mg/L, Cu; and 0.38 mg/L, Cr respectively. The concentration of copper (Cu) in the seed of mung bean was higher than the other target metals (Pb and Cr) whereas, Cr occurred in least concentration. The overall accuracy of the method obtained from spiking experiment (recovery) was within the range 80 to 120%, which accounts 115.75%, 97.5%, 101.17% for Pb Cr and Cu respectively. Notably, these results indicating the reliability and applicability of the procedure for extraction of studied metals. The concentration of heavy metals in edible seed of mungbean is low as compared to WHO/FAO recommendation and absolutely safe for consumption in the study area. Thus, producer should follow similar agroecological managements of the crop production to maintain heavy metal concentration of such in the crop.
