Human health risk assessment of lead in nectarines

The aim of the paper was to determine the level of soil contamination with lead and perform risk assessment by calculating the Hazard Quotient Index (HQI). The research was carried out during 2015 and 2016 at three locations in Herzegovina (Mostar, Čapljina, and Stolac), where nectarine cultivars (&...
