More and more authors use
successfully the THQ meth
odology to estimate the
potential health risks associated with long term exposure
to heavy metals from food crops irrigated with waste-
water [6], vegetables from waste water irrigated area [7],
wine [20], different beverage [21], seafood [22], vegeta-
bles grown in industrial and semi-urban areas [25] and
dietary supplements [26]. Our results will supplement
this information with data on vegetables grown in con-
taminated areas from long mining activities.
