The aim of this article is to review and present the state of the arte about the status of toxic
elements (TEs) in soils and assess the potential risk using single and total complex pollution …

Antimony (Sb) is introduced into soils, sediments, and aquatic environments from various
sources such as weathering of sulfide ores, leaching of mining wastes, and anthropogenic …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy fields is a serious health concern because of its high
toxicity and widespread pollution. Recently, much progress has been made in elucidating …

Abstract Background Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are two toxic elements that have a
relatively high risk of transfer from paddy soil to rice grain. Rice is a major dietary source of …

Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) has led to adverse environmental
impacts. In this review, we discussed remediation of PTEs contaminated soils through …

Abstract Floodplain soils across Central Elbe River (CER), Germany, vary considerably in
potentially toxic element (PTE) content. However, there has never been a comprehensive …

Trace elements (TEs) are deposited to soils mainly due to anthropogenic activities and pose
a significant threat to human health. In this review we aimed at (a) discussing the …

High concentrations of arsenic (As) in groundwater threaten the environment and public
health. Geogenically, groundwater As contamination predominantly occurs via its …

The study used scattered literature to summarize the effects of excess Cd, As, and Pb from
contaminated soils on plant secondary metabolites/bioactive compounds (non-nutrient …
