Health Risks Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution in the Soil-Crop System from an E-Waste Dismantling Area

Soil is an essential resource for agricultural production. In order to investigate the pollution situation of heavy metals in soil-crop system e-waste dismantling area, crop and soil samples (226 pairs, including leaf vegetables, solanaceous root fruits) around area southeastern Zhejiang Province were collected. The concentrations Cd, Cu, Pb, Cr determined. average soils 0.94, 107.79, 80.28, 78.14 mg kg-1, respectively, their corresponding crops 0.024, 0.7, 0.041, 0.06 respectively. transfer capacity vegetables was significantly higher than that non-leaf accumulation four tended be Cd > Cu Cr/Pb. index’s results revealed degree under different land uses ranked as fruit soil. carcinogenic non-carcinogenic risks metal exposure food intake accidental ingestion dermal contact inhalation. comprehensive risk Pb/Cu. Our could used provide useful information further cultivation layout study which can guarantee local residents’ health safety.
