Pattern and concentrations of trace metals in mushrooms harvested from trace metal-polluted soils in Pretoria, South Africa

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Consumption of mushrooms is believed to assist in supplying basic nutrients that are required for human growth and well-being maintenance. It has been noted that vegetables and other agricultural crops may uptake trace metals from polluted soils. The present study investigated the pattern and concentrations of trace metals in mushrooms cultivated on polluted soils collected around three mining areas in Brits, Sout...
