| description | Heavy metal contamination in vegetables could happen due to various
environmental factors. High level of heavy metal contents in vegetables will
cause risk to health problem. This study is designed to measure on heavy metal
accumulation or content of Cd. Pb, Cu, Mn and Zn in two types of vegetables
which are bayam (Amaranthus tricolor) and kangkung (Ipomoea aquatic). The
samples were obtained in three main market of Kota Bharu area which are Siti
Khadijah Market. Wakaf Che Yeh Market and National Agribusiness Terminal
(TEMAN). This research was performed to study on the heavy metal contents in
vegetables from the three markets as well as the differences in heavy metal
contents of vegetables parts (leaves, stems and roots) at three main markets at
Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Heavy metal content was analyzed using atomic
absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) after digestion by microwave digestion
system. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 18. From the study, heavy metal
contents detection from the two vegetables showed Pb < Cd < Cu < Zn < Mn.
The results showed that during the six week of studies, the lowest metal contents,
Pb with a mean 0.81 ± 0.46 mg/kg and the highest metal contents, Mn with mean
19.65 ± 9.91 mg/kg. There was a difference (p < 0.05) in the metal contents of
Pb, Cd, and Cu on the three markets studied. In the metal contents of Mn, Zn and
Cu, there are significant difference in the two types of vegetables {bayam and
kangkung) studied (p < 0.05). In addition, there is a difference (p < 0.05) in Mn
and Zn metal contents in the three of vegetables parts. From this study. Cd
content exceeds the maximum permissible limit of Malaysian Food Act 1983
(Act 281). While, the metal content of Pb, Cu and Zn still below the maximum
level recommended by FAO/WHO in both types of vegetables studied. In
conclusion, the study of soil of vegetables site sources to be done in the further to
identify the sources of pollution. |
