Table 5

True Pb intake = (200 g × 1.60 mg·kg^-1) + (200 g × 0.56 mg·kg^-1) + (200 g × 3.89 mg·kg^-1) = 1210 mg·kg^-1

True Cd intake = (200 g × 0.27 mg·kg^-1) + (200 g × 0.25 mg·kg^-1) + (200 g × 0.23 mg·kg^-1) = 150 mg·kg^-1

True Ni intake = (200 g × 1.30 mg·kg^-1) + (200 g × 0.66 mg·kg^-1) + (200 g × 0.32 mg·kg^-1) = 456mg·kg^-1

^ayearly intake of vegetables(Green leaf, fluted pumpkin and curry leaf) multiplied by concentration of heavy metal contaminant in each vegetable.
