Human health risk assessment of heavy metals in soil–vegetable system: A multi-medium analysis
TLDR
The total non-cancer and cancer risk results indicated that the investigated arable fields near industrial and waste mining sites were unsuitable for growing leaf and root vegetables in view of the risk of elevated intakes of heavy metals adversely affecting food safety for local residents.About:

Heavy metal pollution and health risk assessment of agricultural soils in a typical peri-urban area in southeast China.
TL;DR: The integrated method of ecological and health risk index, which takes consideration of both anthropogenic emission and cropping system can provide a practical tool for evaluating of agricultural soil in the peri-urban area regrading different risk factors.

Hazards of heavy metal contamination.
TL;DR: Recent data indicate that adverse health effects of cadmium exposure may occur at lower exposure levels than previously anticipated, primarily in the form of kidney damage but possibly also bone effects and fractures, and measures should be taken to reduce cadmiam exposure in the general population in order to minimize the risk of adverse health results.

Health risk from heavy metals via consumption of food crops in the vicinity of Dabaoshan mine, South China.
TL;DR: Estimated daily intake (EDI) and THQs for Cd and Pb of rice and vegetables exceeded the FAO/WHO permissible limit and bio-accumulation factors of heavy metals were significantly higher for leafy than for non-leafy vegetable.

Health risks of heavy metals to the general public in Tianjin, China via consumption of vegetables and fish.
TL;DR: Consumption of vegetables and fish contaminated with the heavy metals Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Hg, and Cr is the most likely route for human exposure in Tianjin, China and health risks associated with these heavy metals were assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing risk of heavy metals from consuming food grown on sewage irrigated soils and food chain transfer.
TL;DR: Partitioning pattern of soil revealed high levels of Zn, Cr, and Cu associated with labile fractions, making them more mobile and plant available, and human risk was found to be high for Zn followed by Cr and Pb with special reference to leafy vegetables particularly spinach and amaranthus.
