Abstract

The project will study the effect of heavy and toxic metals present in various vegetables grown in South India (Vellore District). Simultaneously the project will make the use of different standard methodologies and analytical instrumentations for the quantitative analysis of heavy and toxic metals. In next half of the experiment Transfer Factor (TF) and Daily Intake Rate (DIR) will also be calculated. The toxicity of these metals is in part due to the fact that they accumulate in biological tissues, a process known as bioaccumulation. Even the toxicity level and reasons for increasing concentration of toxic metals were also studied for each and every vegetable for that region. This toxicity may lead to various types of paralysis, neurological disorders and cancer. Therefore in conclusion some sort of agricultural management will be suggested for the welfare of environment point of view.
