Information about heavy metal accumulation in food crops and their dietary intake is necessary for assessing their risk to human health. Therefore, it is of prime concern to assess the accumulation of toxic heavy metal in food crops, which are irrigated with water diverted from polluted streams (Nullah Aik and Palkhu). Informa-tion is lacking on the heavy metal uptake, bioaccumulation, and health risks in terms of wastewater irrigation in Sialkot and Waz-irabad. Therefore, the current study aims to quantify heavy metal accumulation in water, soil and subsequent contamination in food crops irrigated with wastewater and tube well water with potential human health risks.
