Medicinal plants (MPs) have long been used for their therapeutic properties in traditional forms of medicine. However, the presence potentially toxic elements (PTEs) MPs raises concerns about safety, efficacy, and potential adverse effects on human health. The current study aimed to determine level essential (PTEEs) commonly consumed Zabol, Iran, along with health risk assessments. To conduct present study, 10 types widely were selected, 15 samples each type (150 total) taken. Each sample was analyzed various PTEEs using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chrome (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al) manganese (Mn); Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) arsenic (As) mercury (Hg). Finally, better comprehend scope exposure its possible effects, Monte Carlo simulation method is successfully applied assess risks related PTEs MPs. Statistical analysis revealed statistically significant (P < 0.001) variations PTE averages among MP types. Furthermore, all samples' overall mean concentration (range: 0.18 215.5 µg/kg) below World Health Organization's (WHO) regulatory standards. Probabilistic risks, including non-carcinogenic-target hazard quotient (THQ) element, total target (TTHQ) elements, carcinogenic-incremental lifetime cancer (ILCR) carcinogenic (TCR) significantly lower than acceptable limit children adults. Accordingly, it can be said that consuming sold Zabol safe adults regarding (ILCR/TCR =

Medicinal plants (MPs) have been valued for their therapeutic properties and are crucial in traditional modern medicine. However, contamination with hazardous substances such as mycotoxins toxic THMs (THMs) poses significant safety concerns. This study quantified the levels of ten commonly used MPs Tehran markets, Iran, assessed carcinogenic non-carcinogenic risks to ensure consumer safety. A total 210 samples were analyzed. THMs, including arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), detected using atomic absorption spectrometry, while aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) ochratoxin (OTA) measured high-performance liquid chromatography. Risk assessments Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Index (HI), Incremental Lifetime Cancer (ILCR), Total Carcinogenic (TCR) methodologies. Results revealed variability contaminant (p < 0.05). While heavy metal concentrations within safe limits, mycotoxin exposure posed children, a THQ exceeding acceptable limit. Mycotoxin remained below thresholds. To mitigate risks, storing dry, low-humidity environments is recommended prevent fungal growth reduce contamination, emphasizing need stricter measures.

Background: The growing use of treated wastewater in farming has raised concerns about the potential impacts on public health. Methods: This study assessed levels heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) plants watered greenhouse settings using both well water synthetic wastewater. Synthetic with As at concentrations 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 mg/L, Pb 1, 3, 5 Cd 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 as were used to irrigate radish, coriander, grass. In end, 144 vegetable samples gathered, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was determine metal samples. Risk assessment for consumers determined based measured vegetables. Results: Even though within limits irrigation, risk showed that consumption vegetables irrigated treatment could pose risks individuals’ maximum concentration radish leaves observed cress effluent 0.02 mg/L. Conclusion: containing can a significant non-carcinogenic consumers. However, may also be dangerous long run. Therefore, it is important ensure food safety when irrigation.
