Data on concentration of essential and toxic metals as well as microbial load of conventionally grown and organic certified commonly consumed vegetable crops Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato) and Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench (okra) in Mysore region of Southern India were determined analytically using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean concentrations of heavy metals and microbial contaminants in S. lycopersicum was Pb>Cd>TAC>TC>YM and in A. esculentus was Pb>TC>TAC>YM. In S. lycopersicum, the highest mean concentration of Pb (5.731 ppm) was recorded for conventionally grown and Cd (0.652 ppm) was recorded for organic certified. Hazard Index (HI) and Hazard Quotient (HQ) values indicated adverse non-carcinogenic health effects on prolonged exposure to Pb and Cd by consumption of S. lycopersicum. Target cancer risk (TCR) value also indicated cancer risk on consumption of S. lycopersicum due to Pb. These findings exposed an urgent need for regulations for fresh produce to ensure safety of consumers.

分析确定了印度南部迈索尔地区常规种植和有机认证的常用蔬菜作物Solanum lycopersicum L.（番茄）和Abelmoschus esculentus（L.）Moench（秋葵）的必需金属和有毒金属浓度以及微生物负荷的数据使用原子吸收分光光度法。S. lycopersicum 中重金属和微生物污染物的平均浓度为 Pb>Cd>TAC>TC>YM，A. esculentus中的平均浓度为 Pb>TC>TAC>YM。在S. lycopersicum，记录了常规生长的最高平均 Pb 浓度 (5.731 ppm)，记录了有机认证的 Cd (0.652 ppm)。危害指数 (HI) 和危害商数 (HQ) 值表明长期摄入S. lycopersicum对 Pb 和 Cd 产生不利的非致癌健康影响。目标癌症风险 (TCR) 值也表明食用S. lycopersicum因 Pb 引起的癌症风险。这些调查结果表明，迫切需要对新鲜农产品进行监管，以确保消费者的安全。
