Key Points

Heavy metals contamination was found in various vegetables, raising significant health concerns for consumers.
Pollutants included lead, cadmium, and arsenic, with some vegetables showing contamination levels above safe limits.
Assessment through spectrophotometric methods highlighted contamination risks, linking soil pollution to plant uptake.
Heavy metals in crops imply serious ecological risks, emphasizing the need for improved soil management practices.

Implication

Analysis identifies heavy metals contamination levels in plants and soil, indicating ecological risks in Kosovo's agricultural areas.
