Risk assessment of heavy metal toxicity through contaminated vegetables from waste water irrigated area of Varanasi, India (2010, methodology): “Food safety issues and potential health risks make this as one of the most serious environmental concerns (Cui et al. 2004). Vegetables accumulate heavy metals in their edible and non edible parts. Although some of the heavy metals such as Zn, Mn, Ni and Cu act as micro-nutrients at lower concentrat”
Health risks of heavy metals in contaminated soils and food crops irrigated with wastewater in Beijing, China. (2008, background): “PCF¼ Cplant Csoil ðCui et al:; 2005Þ where Cplant and Csoil represent the heavy metal concentration in extracts of plants and soils on dry weight basis, respectively.”
Health risk assessment of heavy metals via dietary intake of foodstuffs from the wastewater irrigated site of a dry tropical area of India. (2010, background): “The health risk index was calculated as the ratio of estimated exposure of test crops and oral reference dose (Cui et al., 2004).”
Health risk assessment for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic heavy metal exposures from vegetables and fruits of Bangladesh (2017, background): “Elevated levels of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, and Zn in plants near metal smelters had previously been demonstrated in another investigation (Cui et al., 2004).”
