Heavy metal ecological risk, bioaccumulation, and dietary health risks in a karst soil-fruit system of Rosa roxburghii in Southwest China.

Karst regions commonly have elevated geogenic heavy-metal backgrounds, but paired soil-fruit evidence for specialty fruit systems remains limited. In this study, 245 paired soil-fruit samples were collected from 22 major Rosa roxburghii production areas in Guizhou Province, Southwest China. Concentrations of Pb, Cd, Hg...
