Monitoring and Modeling of Heavy Metals Contents in Vegetables Collected from Markets in Imo State, South-Eastern, Nigeria

2019-09-27

Abstract excerpt

Vegetable consumption is one major exposure route of heavy metal to humans, but few data exist for Imo State. We assessed the contamination levels and associated health risk of cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in vegetables ( Telfairia occidentalis , Pterocarpus mildbraedii , Gongronenina latifolium and Vernonia amygdalina ) that are consumed frequently from ma...
