“…In a study on wheat grain, our and seed coat, the concentration of Co was found to be in the range of 1.036 to 1.113 mg/kg (Ugulu et al (2021). These results, which were carried out in Pakistan s, were found to be higher than our results.…”

This research was carried out to determine the effects of agronomic practices on the mineral composition of organically-grown wheat species. In terms of all nutrients evaluated, the mineral content of wheat showed significant differences according to crop years, varieties, weed control methods and fertilizer sources. As the average of all factors, the Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, Zn, Cd, Co, Cr, Ni and Pb contents of the ground wheat grain were; 3.93, 42.8, 79.6, 0.549, 11.34, 0.012, 0.140, 0.194, 3.71 and 0.269 mg / kg, respectively. According to the wheat varieties, the Kırik was superior in terms of Cu, Fe, Se, Zn, Co and Cr, and the Dogu-88 was superior in terms of Mn, Cd, and Ni. The effect of weed control methods on mineral content was variable. According to fertilizer sources, the highest mineral content was obtained from the control plots without fertilizer treatments. The lowest mineral contents were obtained from chemical fertilization, cattle manure and organic fertilizer applications. There was no significant increase in the mineral content of wheat with organic fertilization, however, organic agriculture still preserves its place in terms of healthy food. As a result, it has been determined that the values obtained for all mineral elements were not at a level that pose a risk on the environment, human and animal health according to WHO.

“…Often even very low amounts of metals can cause disruption or damage to vital body functions due to the lack of suitable mechanisms to eliminate such metals from the body [83]. Humans exposed to heavy metal-polluted food may display a range of symptoms and diseases both in the short term as well as the long term [83,84]. These may affect various human body systems such as pulmonary; renal; gastrointestinal; skin; neurological; etc.…”

“…These may affect various human body systems such as pulmonary; renal; gastrointestinal; skin; neurological; etc. systems and may result in conditions such as cardiovascular problems; depression; hematic, gastrointestinal, and renal failure; neurological damage; osteoporosis; tubular and glomerular disfunction; and various cancers [84][85][86][87][88]. Furthermore, a lack of immunological defences may be seen due to the depletion of essential nutrients in the body [71].…”

Aquatic ecosystems are contaminated with heavy metals by natural and anthropogenic sources. Whilst some heavy metals are necessary for plants as micronutrients, others can be toxic to plants and humans even in trace concentrations. Among heavy metals, cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) cause significant damage to aquatic ecosystems and can invariably affect human health. Rice, a staple diet of many nations, and other aquatic plants used as vegetables in many countries, can bioaccumulate heavy metals when they grow in contaminated aquatic environments. These metals can enter the human body through food chains, and the presence of heavy metals in food can lead to numerous human health consequences. Heavy metals in aquatic plants can affect plant physicochemical functions, growth, and crop yield. Various mitigation strategies are being continuously explored to avoid heavy metals entering aquatic ecosystems. Understanding the levels of heavy metals in rice and aquatic plants grown for food in contaminated aquatic environments is important. Further, it is imperative to adopt sustainable management approaches and mitigation mechanisms. Although narrowly focused reviews exist, this article provides novel information for improving our understanding about heavy metal accumulation in rice and aquatic plants, addressing the gaps in literature.

“…According to Ugulu et al (2021) bioconcentration factor is a key component of determining exposure of potentially toxic metals via the food chain. The low accumulation of Mn in celosia tissues than Cu is an indication of tolerance to Mn hence, restriction of its transfer from soil to root and root to shoot (Yoon et al 2006).…”

“…These metals have densities greater than 5 g cm -3 , long biological half-life and their presence in chicken manure at elevated concentration may cause pollution of amended soil. Soil amendment with livestock manure can enhance accumulation of trace metals in soils and become available for crop uptake (Antonious et al 2012;Wajid et al 2020;Ugulu et al 2021). Since soil-plant movement of trace elements is part of the natural means of nutrient cycling.…”

Heavy metals such as Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn) in chicken manure can contaminate soil and bioaccumulate in edible tissues of plant to cause food chain contamination. This study investigated the influence of chicken manure on heavy metal load of soil and accumulation in tissues of Celosia argentea. Air-dried chicken manure from battery cages (conventional chicken manure-CCM) and free range birds (local chicken manure-LCM) were used for the pot culture. Chicken manure was applied as amendment at the rate of 0, 4, 6, 8 and 10 t ha-1 in 5 kg soil. Treatments were replicated trice in a Completely Randomized Design. Results showed that soil metal pollution increased with rates of amendment. Metal pollution indices; contamination factor, degree of contamination, elemental pollution index, pollution load index and total contamination factor were significantly (p < 0.001) higher in soil amended with CCM than LCM. Bioaccumulation coefficients (BAC), bioaccumulation factor (BAF) and transfer factor (TF) of metals were higher in tissues of celosia grown with CCM than LCM. Furthermore, above 4 t ha-1, growth and yield were not significantly influenced by amendment rates. Mobility of metals from soil to tissues of celosia increased in the order Cu > Mn > Cd. Chicken manure above 4 t ha-1 potent health risks of Cu exposure to consumers of celosia.
