“…Total arsenic (As) concentrations in poultry feed, manure, agricultural soils, and food plants from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan were examined by Muhammad et al (2021). In the edible sections of food plants, the total As concentrations ranged from 0.096 to 1.25 mg/kg.…”

“…According to Zhou et al (2015), based on projection scenarios employing the worldwide Sb emission inventory for 1995-2010, the global Sb emissions are expected to grow by a factor of two between 2010 and 2050. Sb is now recognized as a global pollutant, and it has recently sparked global concern (Muhammad et al, 2021;Chang et al, 2022). Sb has gradually become one of the prime hazardous elements of environmental interest due to anthropogenic activities' elevated input (Kawamoto and Morisawa, 2003;Casado et al, 2007;Qi et al, 2011a).…”

“…In vitro and In vivo Sb, like As, is known to be a genotoxic element. However, little is known about the transfer of Sb from the environment to humans and its health risk (Wu et al, 2011;Muhammad et al, 2021). In the Yodo River basin, Kawamoto and Morisawa, (2003) investigated the distribution of Sb in the river water environment, which included water, sediment, aquatic vegetation, and fish.…”

“…Casado et al (2007) investigated the extent of Sb and As pollution, their bioavailability in miningaffected grassland soils, and their concentrations in plant aboveground sections. Humans can be exposed to excessive levels of As and Sb via ingestion of polluted soil, dust, or food plants, which leads to serious health risks (Clemente, 2013;Muhammad et al, 2021). Furthermore, the food chain is a primary route for harmful substances to enter living creatures (Dubey et al, 2014).…”

The current study assessed the ecological–health risks of potentially toxic arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) in the vegetable Centella asiatica, topsoils, and mangrove sediments sampled from Peninsular Malaysia. The As concentrations ranged from 0.21 to 4.33, 0.18 to 1.83, and 1.32 to 20.8 mg/kg dry weight, for the leaves, stems, and roots of the vegetable, respectively. The ranges of Sb concentrations were 0.31–0.62, 0.12–0.35, and 0.64–1.61 mg/kg dry weight, for leaves, stems, and roots of the vegetable, respectively. The children’s target hazard quotient (THQ) values indicated no non-carcinogenic risks of As and Sb in both leaves and stems, although children’s THQ values were higher than those in adults. The calculated values of estimated weekly intake were lower than established provisional tolerable weekly intake of As and Sb for both children and adult consumers. The carcinogenic risk (CR) values of As for children’s intake of leaves and stems of vegetables showed more public concern than those of adults. The levels of Sb and As in the topsoils were generally higher (although not significantly) than those in the mangrove sediments, resulting in a higher geoaccumulation index, contamination factor and ecological risk, hazard index, THQ, and CR values. This indicated that the anthropogenic sources of Sb and As originated from the land-based activities before reaching the mangrove near the coast. The CR of As signifies a dire need for comprehensive ecological–health risks exposure studies, as dietary intake involves more than just vegetable consumption. Therefore, risk management for As and Sb in Malaysia is highly recommended. The present findings of the ecological–health risks of As and Sb based on 2010–2012 samples can be used as an important baseline for future reference and comparison.
