Mohod 2015 - metals in spinach and tomato near Amba Nalla
Mohod reports AAS measurements of heavy metals in spinach leaf and tomato grown near Amba Nalla in Amravati City, India. Despite the title using the word review, the abstract describes measured vegetable samples and gives numeric Pb and Cd values. The source is routeable to spinach but should be treated cautiously because reporting quality is limited.
Key numbers
- Spinach Pb is reported as 5.5 mg/kg and tomato Pb as 5.5 mg/kg.
- Spinach Cd is reported as 0.3 mg/kg and tomato Cd as 0.2 mg/kg.
- The abstract states that Pb and Cd were above permissible limits according to FAO/WHO-style comparators.
- The paper also names Cu and Zn as measured analytes.
Methods (brief)
The abstract states that concentrations were studied using AAS. Sample count and basis details require full methods extraction before pooling.
Implications
Certification: India/Amravati spinach occurrence context for Pb and Cd. Courses: useful low-quality reporting example where source values must be preserved with caveats. App: context only until sample count and basis are verified.

Verification notes
The DOI is visible in the PDF footer. The source has weak wording and limited methods detail; values are captured because they are explicit, but route fitness is lower than better A-tier studies.
