Evaluation of heavy metal element (Fe) in cereal food crops irrigated with diverse types of water and their transfer in blood of humans in a Semi-arid environmental gradient in Pakistan
Abstract
In the present study the concentration of iron (Fe) was considered in Pakistan's Punjab, Sargodha, soil, water, and cereals. Samples were selected from three distinct Sargodha irrigation sites using three distinct water sources. Site 1 used municipal waste water for irrigation, Site 2 used canal water, and Site 3 used ground water. Significant amounts of heavy metals are existing in municipal waste water. In accumulation to being lower in soil and cereal crops, the amount of Iron (Fe) in water was also lower than the standard value. DIM had a high value, but EF, PLI, HRI, and BCF were below the acceptable range.
All results of every parameters have been discussed in the paper in detail.
