“…It is costly to clean heavy metals from contaminated soil and water. Therefore, efforts have been made to develop practical and cost-effective technologies to rehabilitate degraded lands and polluted waters (Dodangeh et al 2018;Ansari et al 2020). Plants used for wastewater treatment and heavy metals absorption must resist salinity because effluents contain large amounts of soluble salts.…”

Phytoremediation is a high-performance and cost-effective approach to clean up contaminated water. This study aimed to investigate the rate of cadmium (Cd) uptake and changes in absorption of other elements using different plants at different cadmium concentrations under salinity conditions. This study was performed as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications at Zanjan University located in northwestern Iran. For this purpose, three aquatic plants, Azolla Caroliniana, Watercress, and Duckweed, were used. In these experiments, different levels of Cd (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg L−1) in the nutrient solution as well as different NaCl concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mM L−1) were employed. After producing nutrient solutions with salinity and different Cd concentrations, three plants were grown in them for 30 days. The absorption of different elements such as Cd, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Na was measured in the plants. The results showed that the studied plants absorbed high concentrations of Cd. It was also concluded that the salinity of nutrient solution directly relates to Cd concentration in the plant tissues. The highest concentration of Cd in Azolla Caroliniana in 40 mg Cd and 80 mM NaCl was obtained with an average of 3,470.8 mg kg−1. In general, the results showed that the use of all three plants is suitable for purifying Cd-contaminated water.

“…Agricultural products are an important part of the human daily diet that can be contaminated with toxic metals such as Hg, Cd, Pb, and As, therefore agricultural products are considered a serious concern for human health (Stefanović et al 2008;Dodangeh et al 2018). The contamination of agricultural products with toxic metals can be related to either environmental resources or human activities such as industrial processing, mining, waste disposal, application of wastewater, sewage sludge to irrigation of cultivated agricultural products, and even application of fertilizers (especially phosphate type) and pesticides (Tadesse et al 2015;Marrugo-Negrete et al 2015;Shariatifar et al 2020;Shariatifar et al 2017).…”

The current study aims to investigate the levels of the toxic metal in agricultural products (legumes, wheat, and potato) collected in Markazi province, Iran, and human health risk by using inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The levels of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in all samples were lower than the limit of detection (LOD), while the level of Cd in potato samples was lower than the maximum permisible level (MPL) of the European commission (EC). The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk assessment by direct ingestion of agricultural products was calculated using the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) method. The highest mean of toxic metals was observed for lead (Pb) in legume samples (562.17 μg kg− 1). Mercury (Hg) and Pb levels in all samples were higher than LOD, while Pb level in wheat samples were lower than of EC. The rank order of Hg and Pb levels in all samples based on target hazard quotient (THQ) value was wheat> potato>legume. The THQ index of Hg and Pb by the deterministic method in wheat was 1.37 and 0.454; in potato 0.139 and 0.104; in legume 0.092 and 0.41, respectively. The carcinogenic risk index was at an acceptable range. The high hazard index values were estimated and the THQ index for Hg in wheat suggests a non-negligible health risk.

“…Plant-based foods contain plant-derived substances, such as cereals, legumes, kernel seed, vegetables and fruits. Plant-based foods are an important part of the human daily diet that can be contaminated with toxic metals such as Hg, Cd, Pb and As, therefore plant-based foods are considered a serious concern for human health (Stefanović et al 2008) (Dodangeh et al 2018). The contamination of plant-based food with toxic metals can be related to either natural resources or human activities such as industrial processing, mining, waste disposal and application of wastewater as well as sewage sludge to irrigation of cultivated plant-based food or even application of fertilizers (especially phosphate type) and pesticides (Tadesse et al 2015;Marrugo-Negrete et al 2015;Shariatifar et al 2020;Shariatifar et al 2017).…”

The aim of current study is to measurement and investigate the toxic metals levels in plant-based food collected in Markazi province and human health risk by using inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The levels of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in all samples were lower than LOD, while level of Cd in potato samples were lower than permitted limit of European commission (EC). The highest mean of toxic metals were observed for lead (Pb) in legume samples (562.17 µg kg− 1). Mercury (Hg) and Pb levels in all samples were higher than LOD, while Pb level in wheat samples were lower than of EC. The rank order of Hg and Pb levels in all samples based on target hazard quotient (THQ) value was wheat > potato > legume. The 95% THQ index of Hg and Pb for adults in wheat samples were 2.59E + 00 and 7.19E-01, in potato samples were 2.07E-01 and 1.64E-01; in legume samples were1.41E-01 and 6.61E-02respectively, while in the case of children, the 95% THQ index of Hg and Pb in wheat samples were 8.90E + 00 and 2.44E + 00; in potato samples were 1.17E + 00 and 5.81E-01; in legume samples were4.77E-01 and 2.20E-01 respectively. The high hazard index values were estimated, indicating a high health risk from consumption of wheat and potato.
