TL;DR: In this article, the uptake and translocation pattern of trace metals from two different plant species from a waste dump site in Pretoria, South Africa was investigated and the trace metal contents from different parts of these plants (leaf, stem and root) were determined by the use of ICP-OES.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population health risk due to dietary intake of toxic heavy metals from Spinacia oleracea harvested from soils collected in and around Tshwane, South Africa
TL;DR: In order to assess the possible health risk associated with the consumption of vegetables harvested from waste dump sites, trace metal levels in Spinacia oleracea planted in soils collected from waste-dump sites were investigated as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban farming as a possible source of trace metals in human diets
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of trace metals in crops, including leafy vegetables harvested from different urban areas, were investigated and various morphological and physiological impacts of trace metal in vegetables were described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concentration of Trace Metals in Blood and the Relationship with Reproductive Hormones (Estradiol and Progesterone) of Obese Females Living Around A Mining Area in Brits, South Africal
TL;DR: The study showed that exposure to trace metals as pollutants may have an impact on the general and reproductive health of obese females living around mining activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace metals bioaccumulation potentials of three indigenous grasses grown on polluted soils collected around mining areas in Pretoria, South Africa
TL;DR: The study concluded that the three grasses used were all able to bioaccumulate trace metals in a similar proportion from the polluted soils, however, since livestock feed on these grasses, they should not be allowed to feed on the Grasses used in this study especially when harvested from a polluted soil due to theirBioaccumulative potentials.
