Comparative Study of Heavy Metal Blood Serum Level Between
Organic and Conventional Farmers in Eastern Taiwan
studies have indicated that organic fertilizers (OFer) might contain heavy metals (HMs) that
present health risks to organic farmers (OFar). This study compared the concentrations of six HMs (Zn, Ni,
Cd, Cu, Pb, Cr) in the blood of two distinct…
