“…The human body has developed a mechanism to keep the Fe levels balanced and to prevent Fe deficiency or too much Fe in the body, such as loss of dead skin or mucosal cells and loss of menstrual blood in women. This mechanism is also determined by the degree to which red blood cells are produced in the body (Means, 2014). Mn is an essential micronutrient for human consumption as it functions as an enzyme activator.…”

Heavy metals in agricultural soil pose human health risks through food consumption. In a novel study for Trinidad, concentration and pollution index levels of heavy metals were assessed from 18 agricultural farms using the X-Ray fluorescence technique, then to evaluate the Geo-accumulation and Nemerow's Integrated Pollution indexes. Toxic elements Pb and As were present but soil quality due to anthropogenic input was found as unpolluted. Overall heavy metal pollution was classified at a precautionary level for 33% of farms, slightly polluted for 61% and moderately polluted for 6% of the farms assessed, thus, regular monitoring and mitigation measures are important for food safety and human health in Trinidad.
