The mean concentration of Zn was hi

The mean concentration of Zn was highest in all the vegetables
tested followed by that of Cu, Cd and Pb at the production sites as
well as at the market sites (Table 3). The mean concentration of Cu
(lg/g) was recorded minimum in lady’s finger (18.02) and maximum
in cauliflower (35.72) at the market sites (Table 3). Zn concentrations
(lg/g) ranged from 32.5 to 66.2, 42.3 to 92.3 and
25.2 to 94.3, respectively, in lady’s finger, palak and cauliflower
at market sites (Table 3). The mean concentrations of Cd (lg/g)
were 1.41, 1.96 and 2.57, and of Pb were 1.03, 1.44 and 1.56,
respectively, in lady’s finger, palak, and cauliflower collected from
the market sites (Table 3).
