Leafy plants are commonly consumed as vegetables in India due to their high nutrient and vitamin content. This study, conducted in Ambagarh Chowki (India), investigated the accumulation potential of 52 elements (including Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Gd, Ge, Ho, K, La, Li, Lu, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Nd, Ni, P, Pb, Pr, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sm, Sn, Sr, Tb, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, Tm, U, V, W, Y, Yb, and Zn) in seven leafy vegetable species, namely Amaranthus tricolor L., Corchorus olitorius L., Cordia myxa L., Hibiscus sabdariffa L., Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., Moringa oleifera Lam., and Spinacia oleracea L. Technique: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was employed for analysis. The maximum concentrations of elements such as Al, Ba, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Fe, Ga, Ge, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Th, Tl, U, V, W, and REEs were observed in S. oleracea leaves, indicating their highest accumulation potential. In contrast, the maximum concentrations of As were found in H. sabdariffa leaves; Ca and Si in M. oleifera leaves; Mg, Sr, and Mo in A. tricolor leaves; and P, K, Cu, and Zn in C. myxa leaves, respectively. Twenty-one elements (Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Co, V, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Th, Sb, Ba, Be, Li, Sr, Tl, U, Se, Sn, and REEs) exceeded permissible limits set by the WHO. The elevated hazard index values indicated significant non-carcinogenic effects. The sources of these elements could be attributed to a combination of geological factors and agricultural practices. This study highlights the need for further investigation into the potential health implications of consuming these vegetables in the aforementioned region.
由于富含营养和维生素，叶菜类植物在印度常被当作蔬菜食用。这项在印度安巴加尔乔基开展的研究，调查了七种叶菜类蔬菜，即三色苋、黄麻叶、胶木、玫瑰茄、甘薯、辣木和菠菜，对52种元素（包括铝、砷、钡、铍、铋、钙、镉、铈、钴、铬、铜、镝、铒、铕、铁、镓、钆、锗、钬、钾、镧、锂、镥、镁、锰、钼、钠、铌、钕、镍、磷、铅、镨、铷、锑、钪、硒、钐、锡、锶、铽、碲、钍、钛、铊、铥、铀、钒、钨、钇、镱和锌）的累积潜力。技术手段：采用电感耦合等离子体质谱法（ICP-MS）进行分析。在菠菜叶中观察到铝、钡、铍、铋、镉、钴、铬、铁、镓、锗、锂、锰、镍、铅、锑、钍、铊、铀、钒、钨和稀土元素等元素的最高浓度，表明其累积潜力最大。相比之下，玫瑰茄叶中砷的浓度最高；辣木叶中钙和硅的浓度最高；三色苋叶中镁、锶和钼的浓度最高；黄麻叶中磷、钾、铜和锌的浓度最高。21种元素（铬、镉、铅、镍、钴、钒、铜、锌、铁、锰、钍、锑、钡、铍、锂、锶、铊、铀、硒、锡和稀土元素）超过了世界卫生组织设定的允许限值。危险指数升高表明存在显著的非致癌效应。这些元素的来源可归因于地质因素和农业 practices 的综合作用。本研究强调有必要进一步调查在上述地区食用这些蔬菜对健康的潜在影响。
