Occurrence, Source and Dietary Exposure of Toxic and Essential Elements in the Indian Food Basket
In this study, representative urban and peri-urban Indian food baskets have been studied for the presence of toxic and essential elements.

The highest concentrations of the target elements were found in vegetables, with Cd, Pb, and Ni being beyond permissible limits of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health organization (0.05 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg, and 1.5 mg/kg, respectively) in okra, spinach, and c...
