Health risk and quality assessment of vegetables cultivated on soils from a heavily polluted old mining area
Original language description
Three garden vegetables, radish, carrot and lettuce, were cultivated in a pot experiment using two soils polluted mainly by Cd, Zn, Pb and Cr. The results showed that lettuce absorbed the highest amounts of toxic elements, except Pb, which was higher in radish. Changes in macronutrient contents in edible parts were not found, except for S. A higher total free amino acids (fAAs) accumulation was shown in all vegetables in more contaminated soil, with the highest fAA content being in radish. Risk to human health was characterized using the target hazard quotient and total hazard index. The cumulative effect of the consumption of vegetables showed possible non-carcinogenic health effects for lettuce and carrot. The carcinogenic risk of toxic elements decreased in the order Cd - Cr - Pb. These values showed a carcinogenic risk from the consumption of lettuce and carrot.
