“…Most of the ground water sources are still supposed to be safe but once, source is contaminated, then practically it would be very difficult to clean that up. Heavy metal toxicity concentration found was 1.22, 0.96 and 922 ppm for Fe, Pb and Na metal respectively in ground water of Khajuwala area in Bikaner division of western Rajasthan (Pandey et al, 2006).…”

“…are essential micronutrients for higher animals and plant growth but their high concentration may cause health problem 3,4 hence lot of work has been carried out to assess heavy metal bioaccumulation in different vegetables and plants 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 which show that heavy metals are non-biodegradable and persistent environmental contaminants which are deposited on the surfaces and then absorbed into the tissues of vegetables. Plants take up heavy metals by absorbing them from contaminated soil.…”

Mahalgaon is a village in Kamptee Taluka, Nagpur district of Maharashtra state, India. Most of the village formers from this village are engaged in vegetable cultivation and the village serves as one of the main supplier of vegetables required in the Nagpur market. All the fields and farms of this region are irrigated by the Nag river water which is highly polluted by urban waste and heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to study the bioaccumulation of heavy metals i.e. Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, Ni and Pb in Water, Soil and Vegetables irrigated by Nag River water and to evaluate the level of bioaccumulation of the metals by the different vegetables. For this study five farms were selected in the Mahalgaon region. Each farm was situated near the bank of Nag River. The sampling was carried out according to grab method as given in APHA for the sampling of water, soil and vegetables. The concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, Ni, Pb) were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). It was found that in water the concentration of Iron and zinc was highest whereas conc. of Nickel and lead was lowest. The concentration of Fe and Zn in the soil samples was very high compared to the WHO/FAO maximum permissive limits while the concentrations of Cu and Mn were slightly above the permissible limits. The concentration of Pb and Ni were below the detection limits in soil. On the other hand in all the vegetables, the concentration of heavy metals was higher than the WHO/FAO permissible limits. the soil-plant transfer factor of different heavy metals shows the following order-TFZn> TF Fe >TF Cu >TF Ni >TF Mn >TF Pb .

“…Although the trace quantities of these heavy metals may not cause any health problem but their higher concentration may lead to their bioaccumulation in various parts of fish, water and vegetables, which has been confirmed by a lot of multifarious research carried out in this field (Iqbal and Kataria, 2006;Kachenko and Singh, 2006;Pandey et al, 2006;Sumant Rao et al, 2008;Amiya et al, 2012;Jacob and Kakulu, 2012;Opaluwa et al, 2012).…”

The quantitative analysis of toxic heavy metals: Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) up to trace levels was performed in the fish muscles by ICP-OES following protocols of AOAC. The objective of this research basically included metal toxicity comparative evaluation levels from three chosen target sources namely River Ravi, Government fish ponds and Privately established fish farms distributed all over the Punjab, Pakistan. A total number of 300 fish samples comprising of thirteen different fish species were collected from twenty-one different sites of Punjab regions during 2011-2013. The heavy metals were found present in varying degrees and extents in some of the fish species. The results of the study interpreted that the heavy metals contamination in river fish were mostly at high concentration levels and above the maximum permissible limits of FAO (1983)/WHO guidelines (1985, 1989) which suggested high health risk to the human body through their frequent consumption. However, the situation was vice versa and was found within safe limits in case of Government fish ponds and mostly Private fish farms.
