Abstract

The study evaluated human health risks associated with the consumption of pumpkin and spinach cultivated around non-mining areas of the Asu River Group. Eighteen samples were collected and analyzed for As, Pb, and Cd, obtaining fifty-four results. The samples were washed with deionized water, air-dried and oven dries at 105°C for 48 hours, and analyzed using Varian (USA) Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The concentration of Pb, As, and Cd in the vegetable trend follows; Ebonyi south (ES)1 in pumpkin from ES.

乌邦伊州非采矿区周边栽培南瓜、菠菜的生态影响及人体健康风险评价

该研究评估了食用在阿苏河流域非采矿区种植的南瓜和菠菜对人类健康的危害。收集了18个样品，分析了砷、铅和镉，得到54个结果。样品用去离子水洗涤，在105℃下风干和烘箱干燥48小时，使用Varian(美国)原子吸收分光光度计分析。蔬菜中Pb、As、Cd的浓度变化趋势如下;乌木南(ES)1在南瓜从ES。
