“…Health risk due to heavy metal contamination has been widely reported (Baker et al, 2000;Claire et al, 1991;Duruibe et al, 2007). Crops and vegetables grown in soils contaminated with heavy metals have greater accummulation of heavy metals than those grown in uncontaminated soil (Eriyamremu et al, 2005).…”

“…The daily metal intake (DMI), dermal absorbed dose (DAD), and exposure concentration (EC) were estimated to assess the risks posed by the studied trace elements in soil and plants collected from the studied area via ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation pathways according to the human health evaluation manual (Part A) and supplemental guidance for dermal and inhalation risk assessments (Part E and F) 3 . The equations were as follows:…”

“…Although some of the heavy metals such as Zn, Mn, Ni and Cu act as micronutrients at lower concentrations; they become toxic at higher concentrations. Health risk due to heavy metal contamination of soil has been widely reported [3][4][5]. Intake of vegetables is an important pathway of heavy metal toxicity to human being [6].…”

“…Although some of the heavy metals such as Zn, Mn, Ni and Cu act as micro-nutrients at lower concentrations, they become toxic at higher concentrations. Health risk due to heavy metal contamination of soil has been widely reported (Eriyamremu et al, 2005;Muchuweti et al, 2006;Satarug et al, 2000). Crops and vegetables grown in soils contaminated with heavy metals have greater accumulation of heavy metals than those grown in uncontaminated soil Sharma et al, 2006.…”
