Local and exotic fruits are generally consumed for their high nutritive values however, they also contain high quantities of harmful substances including trace metals. This work investigated the variations in the levels of Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the local Citurs sinensis, Persea americana, Citrus paradise, Malus domestica, and Citurs limon are their exotic counterparts. The cancer and non-cancer health risks related to the consumption of both the local and exotic fruits were also examined. The results obtained revealed higher levels of all the metals in the local fruits than in their exotic counterparts however; the mean values of the metals were within their recommended limits by FAO/WHO. Multivariate analysis indicated anthropogeni...
