“…The lead content in vegetable samples in both districts was less than the permissible limit of 0.05-0.3 mg/kg (Codex Alimentarius Commission, 2019) and 0.1-0.3 mg/kg (FSSAI, 2011). The lead content in the cooked samples in present study from both the districts was less than the lead in pulses and vegetables samples from India, Peru, and Iran (Khandare et al, 2022;Román-Ochoa et al, 2021;Salehipour et al, 2015).…”

“…Román-Ochoa et al ( 2021) revealed that from pulses, CDI of arsenic, lead, mercury, and cadmium was 7.3 × 10 −7 , 3.7 × 10 −7 , 1.2 × 10 −7 , and 3.7 × 10 −7 mg/kg/day, respectively, in Peru. In another study, Khandare et al (2022) reported that average daily intake of lead from pulses was 0.1 × 10 −3 mg/kg among adults of Andhra Pradesh.…”

Beans and vegetables are consumed with cereals in India on daily basis. The aim of the study was to assess carcinogenic and non‐carcinogenic risk of heavy metals in cooked beans and cooked vegetables consumed by adults (18–59 years) and elderly (≥60 years) subjects from two districts (Ludhiana and Bathinda) of Punjab. A total of 150 households were selected from 30 different locations covering both rural and urban areas. The mean daily consumption of beans and vegetables in Ludhiana was recorded as 35.09 and 215.93 g, respectively. The corresponding figures in Bathinda were observed as 26.85 and 230.54 g. The average amounts of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury were 1.44 × 10−5, 8.21 × 10−5, 1.30 × 10−3, and 2.61 × 10−7 mg/kg for cooked vegetables in urban households of Ludhiana district, respectively. The corresponding values for rural households were 1.53 × 10−5, 5.58 × 10−5, and 2.98 × 10−4 mg/kg while mercury was not detected. The mean chronic daily intake (CDI) of arsenic from cooked beans was significantly (p ≤ .001) higher in urban adult males of Ludhiana (7.74 × 10−9 mg/kg/day) and Bathinda (5.31 × 10−9 mg/kg/day) compared to their rural counterparts. Similar trend was observed in CDI of heavy metals from vegetables. The mean CDI of cadmium from cooked vegetables in urban adult females of Ludhiana (3.76 × 10−7 mg/kg/day) was significantly (p ≤ .001) higher than their rural counterparts and both urban and rural adult females of Bathinda. The study concluded that the subjects of both districts were found safe from non‐carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk associated with heavy metals present in cooked beans and vegetables, except for urban subjects and rural adult subjects of Ludhiana district who had cancer risk due to cadmium present in cooked vegetable samples.

“…Urban agriculture, however, also involves the risk of contamination of cultivated plants with pollutants produced by human activity in the urban environment. Soil, air, and water pollution with toxic elements poses a nutritional risk [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. The use of fossil fuels for heating and vehicle movement in cities is still very high, burdening the urban environment with pollutants, which are deposited on the plant surface or soil and then absorbed by plant tissues [ 30 , 31 ].…”

Origanum dictamnus L. (Lamiaceae) is a perennial herb endemic to the Greek island of Crete, widely used for tea preparation, medicinal purposes, and food flavoring, as well as an ornamental plant. The aim of this work was to introduce the species to the green roof sector while serving urban agriculture. Thus, its growth potential was investigated, along with the content of nutrients (N, P, K, Na) and the accumulation of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Ni, Mn, Zn, Fe) in its tissues, in two cultivation sites in Athens, Greece, i.e., an extensive green roof and at ground level next to a moderate traffic road. Cultivation took place in plastic containers with a green roof infrastructure fitted, in two substrate types (grape marc compost, perlite, and pumice 3:3:4 v/v, and grape marc compost, perlite, pumice, and soil 3:3:2:2 v/v), with 10 cm depth. Plant growth was favored by the soil substrate, but it was also satisfactory in the soilless one. Cultivation site affected heavy metal accumulation, resulting in higher concentrations both in leaves and in flowers at street level, while no differences were observed in roots. Washing the tissues reduced heavy metal concentrations only in leaves produced at the street level. Substrate type significantly affected Mn concentration in all plant tissues and Fe in roots, with the highest values measured in the soil substrate. Thus, O. dictamnus could be effectively cultivated in sustainable green roofs, better on a soilless substrate to lower construction weight. Careful selection of the cultivation site could minimize contamination with environmental pollutants if human consumption is also desired.

“…The acceptable value of carcinogenic risk ranges from 10 −6 to 10 −4 . Therefore, any value higher than 10 −4 indicates that there is a certain degree of carcinogenic risk on human health ( Khandare et al, 2021 ).…”
