The Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Health Risks of Metal(oid)s Bioaccumulation in Leafy Vegetables: A Consumption Advisory

High levels of metal(oid)s in soil or food pose a severe health risk to humans. The potential toxicants find their way into the living systems via chain, following bioaccumulation edible plants, including leafy vegetables grown irrigated with contaminated water, respectively. current study determines vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) (rocca, coriander, parsley) different open farms Qatar investigates human risks (carcinogenic noncarcinogenic). mean concentrations V, Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, Pb rocca are 17.09, 6.41, 1.70, 13.04, 14.72, 0.90, 6.36 mg/kg, respectively; coriander 15.91, 6.03, 1.38, 15.30, 16.86, 0.43, 5.00 parsley 16.25, 6.26, 2.19, 17.97, 16.60, 0.51, 5.46 were observed be higher than recommended World Health Organization (WHO)/Food Agriculture (FAO) values. target hazard quotient (THQ) values Cu As found greater 1 for adult population. For two elements (i.e., As), THQ varied from 1.03 1.42 1.17 1.44 men. In women, ranged 1.20 1.65 1.35 1.55, index (HI) rocca, was 3.99, 4.10, 4.43, respectively, men, 4.64, 4.76, 5.14, among women. carcinogenic (CR) 7.16 × 10 ?4 7.61 , 5.57 8.85 5.24 ?3 6.01 it 8.31 8.83 6.47 6.09 6.97 all vegetables. crux, consumption selected poses major (both noncarcinogenic carcinogenic) consumer. result, we recommend that studied areas closely monitored protect consumer health.
