Heavy metals in soils and selected root vegetables from allotment gardens in Warsaw, Poland – health risk assessment

The health risk assessment carried out shows that consumption of root vegetables (parsley, carrots, beetroots and celery) from the examined allotment gardens showed an increased risk of the carcinogenic effects of cadmium and lead. For health reasons, the consumption of these vagtables should be very limited, or should be totally eliminated from the diet.

Abstract

The health risk assessment carried out shows that consumption of root vegetables (parsley, carrots, beetroots and celery) from the examined allotment gardens showed an increased risk of the carcinogenic effects of cadmium and lead. For health reasons, the consumption of these vagtables should be very limited, or should be totally eliminated from the diet.
