dc.description.abstract | Diferent vegetable species and topsoils were collected from diferent urban gardens of Seville, Cordoba, and Huelva (South
Spain) and from two small towns in a mining area (Riotinto), together with topsoil close to the plants. The concentration of
potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (As, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, and Zn) was evaluated in edible plant parts and
in the soils. The same species were also purchased from Seville local markets and from a peri-urban area (domestic garden
in a rural area) and also analyzed. Plant/soil pollution relation was studied and human health risk was assessed by diferent
parameters. Soils of urban gardens from the mining area were more contaminated with As, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn in comparison with other locations, and generally, soils from cities showed higher values of As, Pb, and Zn than the peri-urban ones.
The mean concentration of almost all potentially toxic elements was higher in leafy than in fruiting and bulbous species.
Arsenic, Cd, and Pb concentrations were below health-based guidance values in all vegetables except Cd in one sample in
the peri-urban area. In general, PTEs concentration in vegetables from city urban gardens did not exceed the one found in
market vegetables for almost all studied elements, except in lettuce for almost elements. The hazard quotient (HQ) values
were lower than the unit for all PTEs in plant species from the studied gardens, as well as the hazard index (HI), indicating
that consumption of these vegetables can be considered safe and without risk to human health. Also, cancer risk values for As
were below the established limits in all vegetables from the studied urban gardens, including those from the As-contaminated
soils in the mining area. | es |
