Evaluate the Impact of Soil Contamination on Vegetables and Fruits

Augustina Pruteanu

A chapter in Heavy Metals - Recent Advances from IntechOpen

Abstract: In the chapter will be presented: scientific substantiation on the models used worldwide to evaluate the contamination of soil, respectively vegetables and fruits; development of theoretical models to evaluate the impact of soil contamination by heavy metals on vegetables and fruits; testing of theoretical models in real conditions based on data obtained from laboratory; development of mathematical models to evaluate the impact on soil contamination on vegetables and fruits and thus on consumers health. The research presented in the chapter aim to develop some original models on the correlation between the level of soil contamination, respectively the remanence of heavy metal in vegetables and fruits harvested for consumption in fresh state. The statistical mathematical models elaborated by the interpolation of the experimental data are models with practical applications in both scientific research and agricultural management.
