Abstract:
The current study depicted the potentially toxic trace elements (PTTEs) contamination and associated health (oral) risks in different foodstuffs (vegetables and cereal crops) in district Shangla, north Pakistan. The determined PTEs concentrations except lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) in vegetables and crops samples were considerably found lower than the stated limited in international guideline for human consumption. Based on one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) the concentration was significantly (p Mn>Cu>Cr>Ni and Pb>Mn>Ni>Cu>and Cr, respectively. The cancer risks factor (CRsF) for Ni, Cr, and Pb were found to be higher than the tolerance limit (1.0) through the intake of vegetables and cereal crops among child population of the study area.
