Add to ORKGThe present study was carried out to assess contamination of vegetables from five farmlands in Addis Ababa with toxic and potentially toxic elements (Cd, Pb, As, Cu, Zn, Cr, Co, Ni, Ba, B, Sr, V, Fe and Mn) and health risk concerns to consumers of these vegetables as well as farm soils and water used to irrigate the vegetables. Pollution levels were varied with metals and vegetable types. The average total metal accumulation (mg kg-1) in the vegetables was potato (245.54) > carrot (202.20) > Swiss chard (52.42) > lettuce (47.43) > cabbage (38.04) > Ethiopian kale (30.17). Results also revealed that the average concentrations (mg kg-1) of all elements in the vegetables were found in order of Pb (744.10) > Fe (288.5) > Mn...
