This work assesses the contamination of trace elements (Cr, Cu, Ni, As, Zn Cd, Mn, Fe, and Pb) in soil and different tissues of the banana plant (Musa spp.), the ecological risks of trace elements using various indices, and the probable health risks using a chemometric approach. Soil and different b...
