“…The investigation of the potential risks associated with the ingestion of Cr is widely reported in the literature [20][21][22][23][24]. It can be assessed or estimated using the bioaccumulation/bioconcentration factor (BF/BCF), translocation factor (TF), daily intake of chromium (DIC), hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) which were calculated using Equations (3)- (7).…”

This study reports on the assessment of the growth potential of five edible vegetables, which were grown in Cr(VI) spiked soils. The vegetable plants that were used in this study were Vigna angularis, Cicer arietinum, Spinacia oleracea, Amaranthus dubius Thell and Phaseolus vulgaris. Dried ground samples from roots, stems and leaves were analysed for various oxidation states of Cr. The daily intake of chromium, hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) methods were employed to assess the potential human health risks posed by these Cr oxidation states through vegetable consumption. The results showed that Vigna angularis was the only vegetable that germinated in highly concentrated Cr(VI) in the simulated soil (456 mg/kg). The highest total chromium (ChT) bioaccumulated in the roots was found in Phaseolus vulgaris at 0.8. The highest ChT translocation factor in the stem was that of Cicer arietinum and Vigna angularis at 0.30. The same plants translocated the highest ChT to the leaf at 0.7. A child or an adult consuming such contaminated Cicer arietinum vegetables were likely to take in between 508 and 785 mg/day of ChT, which are above the World Health Organisation guidelines of 220 and 340 mg/day, respectively. The highest HQ was found in Cicer arietinum at 8.7 and 13.4 for adults and children, respectively. The same species of plants also had high HI at 17.4 and 27.2 for adults and children, respectively. This indicated that consumers of the edible vegetables grown in Cr(VI) rich soils may be exposed to health risks, and the children were more likely to be vulnerable to these adverse effects than the adults.

“…The occurrence of CrT and Cr (VI) in plant samples necessitated the quantification of their risk on human health. [18,19,20,21,22] proposed that the quantification of risk potential due to Cr ingestion like other heavy metals on human health may be assessed or estimated using bioaccumulation/ bioconcentration factor (BF/BCF), translocation factor (TF), daily intake of chromium (DIC), hazard quotient (HQ) and Hazard Index (HI) which were calculated using equations 3…”

The results showed that Vigna angularis was the only vegetable that germinated in highly concentrated Cr (VI) in the simulated soil (456 mg/kg). The highest bioaccumulation factor of CrT in the roots was found in Cicer arietinum at 3.5 ± 0.51 mg/kg DW. The highest translocation factor in stem was that of Cicer arietinum and Vigna angularis at 1.0 ± 0.00, while Cicer arietinum and Spinacia oleracea translocated highest Cr to the leaf at 2.1 ± 0.21. A child or an adult consuming such contaminated Cicer arietinum were likely to take in between 508 -785 mg/kg/day of total Cr which were above the World Health Organisation guidelines of 220 and 340 mg/kg/day, respectively. The highest HQ was found in Cicer arietinum at 8.7 and 13.4 for adults and children, respectively. The same species of plants had also high HI at 17.4 and 27.2 for adults and children respectively.

“…Among them, tannery sludge presents organic and inorganic substances, such as salts and carbonates, but mainly chromium (Cr) (Araújo et al 2016) and, thus, the amendment this waste should be monitored over time to prevent soil pollution. However, some alternative methods for treating the tannery sludge, before its application in soil, could be applied, such as composting (Sousa et al 2018), although this process does not degrade metals. Although the composting of this waste could improve its quality and release nutrients available to plants (Liu et al 2018), the presence of salts, carbonates and Cr could increase the salinity, alkalinity and Cr pollution over time.…”

Purpose The consecutive amendment of composted tannery sludge (CTS) could promote changes in the status of soil microorganisms. Thus, this study evaluated the changes on microbial C and enzyme activities in soil after 9 years of CTS amendment. Methods CTS was amended from 2009 to 2018 at five rates: 0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 ton ha −1 . In 2018, the soil chemical properties (pH, electric conductivity, P, K, Cr, and total organic C), microbial C and enzyme activities were evaluated after 30 days from the amendment.Results The values of chemical properties increased after nine years of CTS application. The content of microbial C and the enzyme activities increased with the amendment of 2.5 and 5 ton ha −1 , and decreased with the amendment of 10 and 20 ton ha −1 . Conclusion This study showed that the amendment of 10 and 20 ton ha −1 of CTS increased soil pH and Cr concentration and promoted a decreasing on soil microbial C and enzyme activities.
