Green leafy vegetables are essential for a balanced diet, providing vital nutrients for overall well-being. However, concerns arise due to contamination with toxic substances, such as arsenic, posing risks to food safety and human health. This study analyzes inorganic (iAs), monomethyl (MMA), and dimethyl arsenic (DMA) in specific leafy vegetables (Amaranthus tricolor L., Corchorus olitorius L., Cordia myxa L., Hibiscus sabdariffa L., Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., Moringa oleifera Lam., and Spinacia oleracea L.) grown in the heavily polluted Ambagarh Chouki region, Chhattisgarh, India. Concentrations of DMA, MMA, and iAs ranged from 0 to 155, 0 to 7, and 131 to 3579 mg·kg, respectively. The health quotient (HQ) for iAs ranged between 0.37 and 3.78, with an average value of 2.58 ± 1.08.
绿叶蔬菜是均衡饮食的重要组成部分，为整体健康提供重要的营养物质。然而，由于受到有毒物质（如砷）的污染，人们对食品安全和人类健康产生了担忧。本研究分析了在印度恰蒂斯加尔邦污染严重的 Ambagarh Chouki 地区种植的特定绿叶蔬菜（苋菜、蕹菜、黄槐、洛神花、番薯、辣木和菠菜）中的无机砷（iAs）、一甲基砷（MMA）和二甲基砷（DMA）。DMA、MMA 和 iAs 的浓度范围分别为 0 至 155、0 至 7 和 131 至 3579 mg·kg。iAs 的健康商数（HQ）在 0.37 至 3.78 之间，平均值为 2.58 ± 1.08。
