The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk of toxic elements in vegetables, associated soil and ground water samples collected from the surroundings of Larkana city, Sindh, Pakistan. The level of four toxic elements, such as chromium, cadmium, copper, and arsenic were determined in vegetables, soil and groundwater. The toxic elements were measured by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer after microwave digestion system. The severity of toxic elements is evaluated through estimated daily intake, bioaccumulation factor and target hazard quotient.
