dc.description.abstractThe concentrations of Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Cd, Ni, Cr and Pb were determined in the edible parts of onion, lettuce, parsley, spinach, carrot, and potato grown in Amik Plain. Average Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Cd, Ni, Cr and Pb concentrations were found to be 20.8, 101.8, 7.23, 32.9, 1.23, 1.82, 1.48, and 0.85 mg kg(-1), respectively. Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn and Ni levels were found within the maximum allowable limits (MAL) identified by WHO/FAO, whereas Cd in all vegetable samples, Pb in 83% and Cr in 27% of the samples were determined to be higher than MAL. Health risk assessment was carried out by using Daily Intake of Metals (DIM) and Health Risk Index (HRI). The highest DIM value was found in the consumption of spinach followed by parsley, lettuce, onion, carrot, and potato respectively. However, all of the estimated DIM values for Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Cd, Ni, Cr and Pb were found to be much lower than the oral reference doses (RfD). The HRI values were found to be lower than the values for heavy metals. It can be assumed that heavy metal intake due to vegetable consumption in the region does not pose any significant risk for human health currently. Considering that people consume not only vegetables in nutrition, HRI values should be determined for each food group and evaluated together.en_US
