This study investigates the concentration of essential and toxic heavy metals, including Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), and Cadmium (Cd), in commonly consumed raw and cooked vegetables sold in Katsina metropolis, Nigeria. Heavy metal exposure, either directly through the consumption of mixed vegetables or indirectly in prepared dishes, poses a significant risk to human health. Little documentation exists on the levels of these heavy metals in freely consumed vegetables within Katsina metropolis, highlighting the need for comprehensive research in this area. The global concern regarding heavy metal presence in the environment, particularly in food crops and vegetables, highlights the need for research into the levels of these contaminants in commonly consumed vegetables within the Katsina metropolis. The study addresses the potential health risks associated with heavy metal exposure through the ingestion of contaminated vegetables, either as mixed raw vegetables or as components in prepared dishes. The increasing environmental pollution, whether from synthetic or natural sources, poses a significant threat to human health. With the rising consumption of vegetables in Katsina metropolis, there is a need to assess the presence of pesticides and heavy metals in these commonly consumed leafy greens. The study aims to contribute valuable insights into the levels of heavy metals, allowing for informed decisions regarding food safety and potential health risks associated with vegetable consumption. This research aims to determine the trace metal concentrations in some leafy vegetables commonly sold in the Katsina metropolis. The specific objectives include sample collection, preparation, metal concentration determination, and a comparison of results with established standards from WHO and NAFDAC....Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
