Several approaches can be used to evaluate the contaminant contents of the edible parts of these vegetables (direct measurement, models of pollutant transfer, etc.). Until now, environmental risk assessors have had few operational tools to guide them through this analysis. The Agence de l’environnement et de la maîtrise de l’énergie (Ademe) and the Institut national de l’environnement industriel et des risques (Ineris), in collaboration with other research institutes, have analysed current practices and evaluated their deficiencies as part of a programme to develop such tools. This article presents an initial synthesis of this work and in particular of two new tools: A standardised sampling protocol for vegetables, intended to provide a global approach integrating the diversity of environments and measuring the contaminants in edible plant parts; A centralized database of information on the transfer of trace metals into the edible parts of vegetables, collected from recent scientific literature and ongoing diagnostic and experimental work. This database will be updated with new articles and reports.
