It was found that vegetable Pb order as following: leaf vegetables>fruit vegetables, dark vegetables>light vegetables. The average daily intake (DI) Pb of per standard person was urban 21.6μg •d-1 and rural 18.7μg •d-1, as well as economical family 22.1μg •d-1and poor 18.3μg •d-1, indicating that vegetable Pb in Jilin suburbs were safety. The Pb health risk was assessed based on the target hazard quotients (THQ). The study showed that THQurban =THQhigh >THQmedium >THQlow =THQrural, indicating the health risk via vegetable consumption in rural was relative lower than that in urban area.
