“…The sequence of risk was the same for both adults and children although the children had higher THQ values in all cases. Similar observations have been reported previously by Mahfuza et al[46], Micheal et al[17] and Liu et al[24].…”

This study was conducted to determine the heavy metals concentration in Hibiscus leaves cultivated in Katsina State Nigeria. The objectives were mainly to detect the presence of heavy metals in the cultivated Hibiscus leaves in the study area, compare the concentration of heavy metals in samples in relation to the permissible limits specified by WHO/FAO/USEPA Standards. Samples of cultivated Hibiscus leaves were collected in the year 2017 from the selected area. Yaradua et al.; AJAHR, 3(4): 1-12, 2019; Article no.AJAHR.47834 ) limit. The study suggests that consumption of the studied samples in Katsina state is of public health concern as they may contribute to the population cancer burden. Original Research Article

“…In another study, Ahmad et al (2010), evaluated the concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and Fe in vegetables and soil in various industrial areas in Bangladesh, reporting that the concentration of Cd in soil and vegetables was higher than the tolerable limit [10]. Similarly, Sultana et al (2017), claimed that the risk of cancer was higher than the threshold risk limit (>10 -4 ) in terms of the Cd concentration recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). In addition, the authors stated that Mn, Pb, and Fe represented non-carcinogenic risks, while Cd represented carcinogenic risks [11].…”

“…It has been associated with carcinogenicity and endocrine disrupting activities (Sultana 2017), hence monitoring of its level in the environment is highly essential especially its sources, distribution and possible transfer across the food chain. The overall mean concentration of Cd obtained in this study across the SCPs was 0.28 mg/kg -0.73 mg/kg as shown in Tab.…”

Anthropogenic activities often result in the introduction of noxious contaminants into the environment with resultant distribution and transfer across the food chain. This study reports on the level of trace metals (Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn) in African foxtail (Cenchrus ciliaris) plant; widely referred to as "common grass" and possible implication across the food chain. Plant samples were collected from stratified study area, processed and analysed using validated acid leaching protocols. Instrumental analysis of the metallic content was by ICP-OES. Quality assurance of the analytical protocol revealed its' applicability to the environmental samples through metallic recoveries (n=3) in the range of 85.6 -91 %. The overall mean concentration of analysed metals in samples ranged from 9.34 mg/kg -38.6 mg/kg; 64.2 mg/kg -105.2 mg/kg; 0.28 mg/kg -0.73 mg/kg and 0.54 mg/kg -16.3 mg/kg for Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb respectively across SCP1-SCP4. Incremental order of analysed trace metals across the SCPs were Cu: SCP1>SCP2>SCP3>SCP4; Zn: SCP1>SCP2>SCP3> SCP4; Cd: SCP1>SCP2>SCP3 = SCP4 and Pb: SCP1>SCP2> SCP3>SCP4. Strong correlation (r > 0.99) was obtained between all the analysed trace metals. Significant difference at (p < 0.05) was found between the analysed metals and SCP 1 while those between the metals and SCPs 2-4 were non-significant. Accumulation of these metals in ruminants and transfer across the food chain is most probable.
