“…Our results were less than the PLI range given by Jorfi et al [43]. In another investigation performed by Siddique et al [44], the value of PLI (1.11-3.317) for Cd was discovered to be greater than the recorded value in the current researched region. The range of the soil Cu PLI for the current study was 1.8895-1.377.…”

Heavy metals pollution is a major concern on a global scale. The present work evaluated the cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) concentrations in water, soil, forages (Avena sativa, Brassica campestris, Medicago sativa, Pennisetum glaucum and Trifolium alexandrinum), milk and hair samples of cows. The samples taken according to trophic levels of the food chain were collected from selected arid regions of Khushab, Punjab, Pakistan and analyzed by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The concentrations of Cd and Cu were found in the range of 0.041-0.065 mg/L, 0.585-1.341 mg/L in water; 0.223-2.600 mg/kg, 11.550-15.853 mg/kg in soil; 0.0037-0.682 mg/kg, 3.0917-8.208 mg/kg in fodder; 0.0457-0.137 mg/kg, 0.0167-0.690 mg/L in milk and 0.043-0.112 mg/kg, 0.0427-0.497 mg/kg in hair, respectively. The Cd and Cu concentrations in water, soil, forage, milk and hair were safer compared to standard limits. Bioconcentration factor (BCF), Enrichment factor (EF), Daily Intake of Metal (DIM), and Health Risk Index (HRI) were found less than 1 in Cd and Cu whereas PLI<1 in Cd and PLI>1 in Cu that indicates copper pollution in soil. So, regular monitoring of heavy metals was required to appraise contamination levels in the environment.

“…The BCF value recorded was 0.63-0.80, which was higher than the current values, according to Ahmad et al [24]. The value of BCF for the current study was less than the Cd BCF value published by Siddique et al [44]. The range of copper values for BCF was 0.2482 to 0.576, which is less than the conclusions of Amin et al [46].…”

This study aimed to assess the concentrations of Pb, Cr, Cd, and Ni in the edible parts of grapefruit and kinnow fruit irrigated with sewage water, tube-well water, and canal water. Preparation of the samples used in the study for metal analysis was carried out by the wet acid digestion method. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used for metal determination. All of the studied metals were more abundant in water, soil, and fruit samples from sites irrigated with sewage water than from those irrigated with tube-well and canal water. The concentrations of Pb were established in the range of 0.047 to 0.175 mg/L in water, 12.652 to 47.863 mg/kg in soil, and 0.023 to 0.124 mg/kg in fruit samples of both varieties. The range of Cr varied from 0.107 to 0.741 mg/L in water, from 1.121 to 5.835 mg/kg in soil, and from 0.054 to 0.784 mg/kg in fruit samples of both varieties. The range of Cd varied from 0.004 to 0.028 mg/L in water, from 1.258 to 4.246 mg/kg in soil, and from 0.012 to 0.131 mg/kg in fruit samples of both varieties. The range of Ni varied from 0.384 to 1.815 mg/L in water, from 5.367 to 18.658 mg/kg in soil, and from 0.028 to 1.475 mg/kg in fruit samples of both varieties. The pollution load index indicated that Pb exceeded a value of 1, while Cd and Ni exceeded 1 only in sewage-water-irrigated sites. The bioconcentration factor, enrichment factor, daily intake of metal, and health risk index values for all metals were below 1, within permissible limits, indicating no immediate health risks associated with consuming these fruits.

“…Health risk index HRI value at Site-V was higher for both Zn and Pb. Highest values were observed for summer samples of Z. mays at winter samples of S. bicolor at site-V Enrichment factor It is the retention of heavy metal in soil to its reference value [1,[39][40][41]. Lower value of EF indicates more retention of metal in soil while high value of EF indicates less retention in soil.…”

This study was designed to find the Pb and Zn concentration in forages, soil and blood samples that were taken from polluted sites. Sampling was performed in two seasons from five sites in tehsil Sahiwal. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) was used for estimation of metal concentration. The samples at site-V had higher values as compared to other sites. Zn was found lower in blood while higher in soil and forages while lead had positive and non-significant correlation in soil, forage and blood due to its accumulation in lower concentration. The value for pollution load index was lower than standard value for both metals. Transfer had lower values indicated that antagonistic effect of metals present in soil or the crops are resistant to metals. Daily intake of both metals had lower values. Health risk index values were higher for both metals than the standard value which indicates that both these metals are not good for animals grazing on sampling sites. EF values for both metals were in order of Pb>Zn but lower than standard. The result from present study showed that there is increase in the concentration of metal at sampling sites due to waste water irrigation.
