“…From the Tables (2 and 3) the combined health risks for all the metals in the sample for the adults and children population represented as the HRI were above 1, an indication that the sample is not safe for consumption. The current result is in disagreement to what was previously reported in Katsina State [33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

“…The observation that the heavy metals Pb and Fe have values that were higher than the regulatory bodies permissible limits is a pointer that the consumption of sample by the population is not safe because of the potentially high health risk. Also, the mean heavy metals concentrations of the sample was higher than the reported mean heavy metals concentrations in studies that evaluate heavy metals in various food samples that were earlier conducted in Katsina State, Nigeria [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The Apparent higher value obtained may not be unconnected with the illegal mining and metal artisanal sites that are located within the vicinity of the sampling area.…”

The risk of exposure to the population from heavy metals in an area that have witnessed a surge in illegal mining activities, cattle rustling and banditry were evaluated in the current study. Lettuce leaves sample from Gadirge village, Jibia local Government area, Katsina State, Nigeria was evaluated for the presence of heavy metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The health risks of the evaluated heavy metals in the sample to the population were assessed using the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Health Risk Index (HRI)) to assess the possible non-carcinogenic effect and the Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk (ILCR) for the cancer risks. The result of the mean concentration values of the evaluated heavy metals Fe and Pb from the sample falls above the Maximum Allowable Concentrations (MAC) of heavy metals in leafy vegetables. The concentrations of the other metals including Cu, Zn, Ni, Mn and Cd evaluated in the sample were within the permissible values. The result of the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) associated with the evaluated heavy metals exposure through consumption of the sample for adults and children were all lower than 1, with exception of the THQ for the heavy metals Fe and Mn in the adults and children population that was above 1. The combined health risks for all the metals in the sample for the adults and children population represented as the HRI were higher than 1, the result of the Incremental Life Cancer Risk (ILCR) for both the adult and children population has revealed that the heavy metal Ni was beyond the threshold of the safety limit for cancer risk. There is a health risk concern from consumption of the sample as the vegetable may contribute to the disease burden of the population.

“…Water is the most important resource; it is utilized largely in agricultural production and is fundamental to ensuring global food security. The overutilization of water resources creates complex problems, such as waterlogging and salinization, and results in the depletion of groundwater resources [ 4 ]. Water is a vital substance in the environment, and its contamination with heavy metals is considered a worldwide environmental problem [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Rainwater harvesting is considered one of the most important water resources in the Palestinian countryside. In this research, the study area chosen for the study was Yatta town in Hebron city. 75 water samples were collected from 74 cisterns in a number of neighborhoods in Yatta, and a structured household survey was conducted with the same households where the water samples were collected. Statistical analysis was made using the SPSS software. An analysis for the samples was made using ICP-MS to test the existence of a number of heavy metals, namely Pb, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd. The results were compared with the WHO and Palestinian limits for drinking water quality. Considering the metals Mn, Co, Cu and Cd, neither of the samples exceeded any of the two limits. For the metals, Pb, Cr, and Ni, two samples exceeded both limits. For the metal, Zn, one sample exceeded the WHO limit only. Sources of pollution by heavy metals of the harvested rainwater were identified by means of a questionnaire distributed to the households. The results showed that except for nickel and the water collection surface of the cistern factor, there is no direct relationship between the factors and activities that may contribute to contaminate harvested rainwater with heavy metals and the existence of heavy metals beyond local and international limits. Based on the questionnaire and literature: Possible sources of lead and zinc are the roof, storage tanks, distribution systems and plumbing; possible sources of chromium are road dust, asbestos brakes and anthropogenic activities occurring around the house; possible source of nickel is leaching from metals in contact with harvested rainwater such as pipes and fittings which are used to collect the harvested rainwater. In addition, an assessment of the potential health risks due to contamination of the harvested rainwater by heavy metals was made for all the samples that exceeded either WHO limit or the Palestinian limit or both. The Chronic Daily Intake (CDI) and the Health Risk Index (HRI) were calculated. The assessment was made for both adults and children. The results showed that all the samples are considered safe (HRI < 1), which means that there are no potential health risks for consumers.

“…The historic use of plant resources for seasoning and spicing in Northern Nigerian cuisine is reflected in the usage of leaves as condiments, as demonstrated by histopathological investigations on the toxicity of Ocimum gratissimum leaf extract (Effraim et al, 2010). Furthermore, the usage of hibiscus leaves in regional specialties, such as the salad "Kwadon Yakuwa," demonstrates the variety of ways that traditional Northern Nigerian meals employ seasonings and sauces (Yaradua et al, 2019). The rich cultural legacy and customs of Northern Nigeria are reflected in the variety of traditional spice mixes and preparations.…”

Northern Nigerians have a unique viewpoint on spices and condiments that is influenced by their traditional, cultural, and medicinal views. The use of spices and condiments is greatly impacted by the diverse ethnic backgrounds of the region's culinary traditions, including the Fulani and Hausa tribes. Together with their ethnomedicinal qualities, these spices varied functional phytochemicals (such as flavonoids, dietary fibers, polyphenols, and vitamins) and mineral constituents demonstrate their multifarious role in traditional medicine and culinary practices, enhancing the general health of the local populace. In addition to their function as macro- and micronutrients, they are recognized as essential resources for conveying a wide range of biological attributes and medicinal properties. However, modern issues and trends like urbanization, changing agricultural methods, and socioeconomic dynamics have an impact on how spices and condiments are produced, traded, and used, which in turn shapes regional culinary customs and dietary habits. To fully appreciate the rich cultural legacy and culinary traditions of Northern Nigeria, one must comprehend the diverse roles that spices and condiments play in the region which is what this review intends to convey.
