“…Assuming that a 70 kg adult consumes 30 g of chili pepper with highest Cd content (0.08 mg/kg) per month, the monthly intake of Cd from chili peppers is 0.0024 mg, which is below the PTMI (1.75 mg/70 kg). Other authors reported slightly lower values of Cd content in Capsicum varieties, in the range from 0.013 to 0.041 mg/kg FW, and from 0.018 to 0.088 mg/kg FW [86,87].…”

Capsicum chili peppers are popular vegetables in Slovakia. They provide a supply of health-promoting substances, but contaminated vegetables can pose a serious health risk to the people who consume them. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the content of heavy metals (Mn, Zn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Cd, Pb and Hg) in the soil as well as in selected varieties of the genus Capsicum grown in southern Slovakia. The results were compared with the limit values given by the Law no. 220/2004 (valid in the SR) as well as threshold values proposed by the European Commission (EC) (2006). The gained result showed that the total content of Cd (1.64 mg/kg) as well as the available mobile forms of Cd (0.12 mg/kg) and Pb (0.26 mg/kg) was exceeded on the soil on which Capsicum cultivars were grown. The limit values of other monitored heavy metals (Mn, Zn, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Hg) were not exceeded. The studied species of the genus Capsicum did not accumulate monitored heavy metals. It can be stated that consumption of chili peppers does not pose any risk for human health.

“…Industries, such as plating and painting metal, soldering, rubber and plastics industries as well as urban and agricultural activities significantly affect the total Cd concentration. 59,60 Also, regardless of atmospheric deposition, the most important route for Cd to enter the urban dust is phosphorus fertilizers on agricultural lands within and around cities. The Cd also pollutes the environment by car tire wear and tear.…”

Background: The potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are one of the most dangerous pollutants in the environment. In this study, the elements namely cadmium, lead, chromium, nickel, copper and zinc were investigated in the soil. Methods: In this study, 144 composite samples were randomly prepared from surface soils in a depth of 10 cm in the cities of Shushtar and Dezful. Soil sampling was performed in 12 stations in Shushtar and Dezful. The PTEs were determined by ICP Varian 710-ES device. Results: The pattern of accumulation of PTEs was as Cu>Pb>Cd>Zn>Ni>Cr in Dezful. In Shushtar, the accumulation of metals in the soil was as Cu>Pb>Cd>Ni>Zn>Cr. The concentration of Ni and Cr in the surface soils of Shushtar was higher than Dezful. The Ecological risk of Cd in the surface soils of Dezful and Shushtar was higher than other PTEs. The most important risk factor for carcinogenicity was related to Cr (3.15×10-7) in children. Hazard quotient (HQ) value of studied PTEs for adults and children were obtained by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact absorption of less than 1. Conclusion: According to the results, the PTEs of Cd, Pb and Cu caused high pollution in the soils of Shushtar and Dezful, which is due to agricultural, industrial and urban activities in these areas. In general, the metals Cr, Zn and Ni slightly contaminated the soil. Also, the ecological risk of PTEs showed that the highest effects on soil was related to Cd and Pb metals.
