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 risks of heavy metals in contaminated soils and food crops irrigated with wastewater in Beijing, China
TL;DR: It is highlighted that both adults and children consuming food crops grown in wastewater-irrigated soils ingest significant amount of the metals studied, however, health risk index values of less than 1 indicate a relative absence of health risks associated with the ingestion of contaminated vegetables.

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.

Long-term impact of irrigation with sewage effluents on heavy metal content in soils, crops and groundwater : a case study
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study was undertaken to assess the long-term effect of sewage irrigation on heavy metal content in soils, plants and groundwater, which indicated that sewage effluents contained much higher amount of P, K, S, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn and Ni compared to groundwater.
