摘要: This study investigates the mercury (Hg) contaminations in soil and foodstuffs along artisanal gold mining areas, Gilgit-Baltistan Province, Pakistan. For this purpose, soils were analyzed for Hg concentrations evaluated enrichment/contamination using enrichment factor or contamination factors (CF). The CF values ranged from 18.9 to 153 showed multifold higher levels of as compared background reference site. Foodstuffs including vegetables, seeds grains fish muscles accumulation. Results revealed that than critical human health value set by European Union. was consumed and, therefore, risk assessment indices daily intake (DI) index (HRI) exposed population both children adults. cumulative HRI through consumption <1 (within safe limit), but if current practices continued, then could pose potential threat near future.
