• Assessing risk of heavy metals from consuming food grown on sewage irrigated soils and food chain transfer. (2008, background): “There are few such studies conducted in India on the metal contamination of soils resulting from sewage irrigation (Agrawal, 1999; Singh et al., 2004; Rattan et al., 2005; Sharma et al., 2007).”
• Risk assessment of heavy metal toxicity through contaminated vegetables from waste water irrigated area of Varanasi, India (2010, background): “Crops and vegetables grown in soils contaminated with heavy metals have greater accumulation of heavy metals than those grown in uncontaminated soil (Marshall et al. 2007; Sharma et al. 2006, 2007).”
• Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens and effects on its life cycle (2015, neutral): “Low concentrations corresponded to the metal concentrations typical for market vegetables in India or Bangladesh (Alam et al. , 2003; Marshall et al. , 2003; Sharma et al. , 2007).”
• Health risks of heavy metals in contaminated soils and food crops irrigated with wastewater in Beijing, China. (2008, background): “Results from present and previous studies (Liu et al., 2005; Muchuweti et al., 2006; Sharma et al., 2007) demonstrate that the plants grown on wastewater-irrigated soils contaminated with heavy metals, and pose a major health concern.”
• 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): “Sharma et al. (2007) have reported much lower concentration of Ni in palak grown in the area irrigated with treated sewage water.”
