Potential toxic elements in market vegetables from urban areas of southwest Nigeria: Concentration levels and probabilistic potential dietary health risk among the population
Contamination of urban-garden vegetables with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is a great problem in developing countries.This study assessed the level of PTEs (Cu, Eyelash Curlers Pb, Cr and Cd) in market-sold vegetables in southwest Nigeria and evaluated the estimated daily intake (EDI) to understand the health implications.Level of PTEs in 80%
