“…Concentrations of nitrate in studied vegetables ranged between 110.40µgg -1 recorded in Telfairia occidentalis and 343.25µgg -1 obtained in Talinum triangulare. This is above 110.00 -178.00 µgg -1 reported by Akan et al [30] in vegetables from Kano, Nigeria but lower than 91.00 -3428.00µgg -1 obtained in vegetables from Turkey by Mor et al [31]. Generally, the mean obtained (233.43±96.77µgg -1 ) is within the limit of 2500mgkg -1 recommended for leafy vegetables by WHO [27].…”

3-respectively. This study revealed that, Telfairia occidentalis has high potential of accumulating iron; Gnetum africana has the ability of absorbing more Cu and Zn; Talinum triangulare is capable of absorbing high NO 2 -and NO 3 -while Lasienthera africana has potential of absorbing more PO 4 3-from the soil. However, the concentrations of all the parameters determined except nitrite in Talinum triangulare were within their safe limits recommended by WHO. This research work has also established that, the application of organic manure in agricultural soils is recommended provided the soil and sources of organic matter are not polluted.

“…In this regard, maximum limit concentrations of nitrate for certain vegetables (lettuce and spinach) are established by the European Union 4 . Nitrate levels in lettuce and spinach have been controlled a long time ago in countries of the European Union and around the World 3,[5][6][7] , but there are few data about chard, one of the most widely consumed vegetables in Spain.…”

Introduction: This paper presents the validation of a rapid method for the determination of nitrate content in chard samples, in order to determine, during two periods (winter and summer of 2012), the current levels of nitrate in this typical vegetable, and the toxicological risk associated with this intake. Material and Methods: A rapid colorimetric determination of nitrate in chard samples by nitration of salicylic acid was validated. The validated method was applied to analyze the content of nitrate in 56 chard samples marketed in Huesca (Spain) and collected in winter and summer seasons, and the toxicological risk associated with the intake for adult and children population was evaluated. Results: The method was specific and robust enough for the required purposes. The main performance characteristics of the method were: limits of detection and quantitation of 0.29 mg L -1 and 0.59 mg L -1 , respectively; recoveries from 80.0% to 107.4%; and coefficients of variation lower than 11.4%. The detected mean nitrate content was 2293 mg kg -1 and there was evidence of risk only for extreme consumers (adults and children), especially in winter period. Conclusions: A high percentage of chard samples with a considerable concentration of nitrate were found. Taking into account the estimated dairy intake of nitrate associated with them, it could be recommended to establish a regulatory limit of nitrate to chard, a vegetable of important consumption in Spain.

Представлены результаты исследования риска воздействия местной плодоовощной продукции, контаминированной нитратами, на здоровье населения Приморского края за 2013-2017 гг. Отмечено влияние различных факторов на накопление нитратов в овощах. Исследовано содержание нитратов в плодоовощных продуктах местного производства, рассчитан уровень нитратной нагрузки на организм человека. На основании полученных данных о среднесуточных дозах поступления нитратов в организм при потреблении данной продукции были определены риски для здоровья населения по сравнению с допустимым суточным потреблением. Установлено, что для населения Приморского края существует потенциальный риск здоровью вследствие употребления контаминированных нитратами растительных продуктов питания местного производства.
