Hygiene. Preventive Medicine Environmental health. Including sewage disposal, air pollution, nuisances, water supply Water supply for domestic and industrial purposes The rising of organic food industry all over the world show that the organic food is now acceptable among the consumer. This situation supported by the increase of farming land of organic vegetables in almost 179 countries all over the world since 2014. In Malaysia, the organic industry is still in the new era but shows the rising trend as the world demand. The study focus on the monitoring of heavy metals (Pb, Cd and Cu) in the organic vegetables and to compare the concentration of heavy metals between imported and local organic vegetables. The study collected 96 samples of vegetables from the local markets. The vegetables involved in the study were carrot, tomato and cabbage and each vegetable collected based on different origin. The samples later prepared by using conventional dry ashing method before being analyzed by usingGraphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS). The data obtained from the analysis were analyzed by using Independent T-test and one way Anova. The Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) calculated to determine the health risk of food consumption. The results showed that only Cu were detected in the analysis. Only tomato shows the significant difference in term of origin. There is no health risk for food consumption as the calculation of THQ is less than 1. Monitoring of organic vegetables should be conducted periodically to ensure the safety and quality of the organic vegetables. 2018-07 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/45593/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/45593/1/45593.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA ( Kampus Puncak Alam ) Faculty of Health Sciences
