Heavy metals, particularly cadmium, lead, and arsenic, constitute a significant potential threat to human health.
This study was conducted to determine the levels of cadmium, lead, and arsenic in nail samples from farmers at Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA), Kedah, Malaysia, and evaluate factors that can contribute to their accumulations.
A total of 116 farmers participated in this study.
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to analyze concentration of heavy metals in the nail samples and questionnaires were given to participants to get demographic, health status, and their agricultural activities data.
In this paper, the level of heavy metals was within the normal range and varies according to demographic factors.
We found that there were significant correlations between working period with level of lead and arsenic (r=0.315 and r=0.242, resp., P<0.01) and age with lead level (r=0.175, P<0.05).
Our findings suggested that agricultural activities could contribute to the accumulation of heavy metals in farmers.
Hence, the control of environmental levels of and human exposure to these metals to prevent adverse health effects is still an important public health issue.
