Cadmium and lead soil contamination is a widespread environmental problem that requires
profound and sustainable solutions. These toxic elements can be naturally occurring on the …

Understanding the behavior of metal (loi) ds transported from soil to humans is critical for
human health risk assessment (HHRA). In the last two decades, extensive studies have …

Point sources are important routes through which pollutants enter rivers. It is important to
identify the characteristics of and trace the origins of water pollutants. In this study, an …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in environmental media and human diets and can enrich
organic contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their …

Microorganism-assisted phytoremediation is being developed as an efficient green
approach for management of toxic metals contaminated soils and mitigating the potential …

Soil environment criteria (SEC) are commonly derived from the total concentration of
pollutants in soils, resulting in overly stringent values. Herein, we examined the feasibility of …

Abnormally high concentrations of metals including nickel (Ni) in soils result from high
geochemical background (HB) or anthropogenic contamination (AC). Metal bioaccessibility …

Many anthropogenic activities result in the accumulation of potentially toxic metals (eg lead,
cadmium, chromium, nickel, arsenic, cobalt, and mercury) in the environment. Lead (Pb) is a …

Soil physiochemical properties play a vital role in bioaccessibility-based health risk
assessment as it can determine the bioaccessibility and the true risk of potentially toxic …

A critical consideration in the application of phytoremediation to remediate sludge soil
contaminated with heavy metals is the potential for leaching risks that prevail prior to the …
