Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript delves into a critical topic regarding the accumulation of uranium and fluoride in agricultural crops, particularly vegetables and cereals. The authors have presented a comprehensive analysis of the available data and discussed the implications of their findings for human health, agricultural practices, and environmental sustainability. Overall, the manuscript demonstrates a solid foundation and contributes to our understanding of these contaminants' impact on the food supply.

The manuscript presents a clear and organized presentation of the results. The findings related to the concentration of uranium and fluoride in different types of crops is presented in a structured manner, making it easy for readers to follow.

With some minor revisions on the points mentioned in comments for authors, I believe it has the potential to make a valuable addition to the body of knowledge in this field.
