Recent investigations show that carbon-based and metal-based engineered nanomaterials
(ENMs), components of consumer goods and agricultural products, have the potential to …

The current study aims to perform a field survey of three abandoned mining sites in the
southern centre of Morocco to assess the recent metal pollution in soils and accumulation …

The application of nanomaterials in commercially available products is increasing rapidly for
agriculture, phytoremediation and biotechnology. Since plants suppose the first sink for the …

Plant roots are responsible for transporting large quantities of nutrients in forest ecosystems
and yet are frequently overlooked in global assessments of Hg cycling budgets. In this study …

Technology-critical elements (TCEs) include most rare earth elements (REEs), the platinum
group elements (PGEs), and Ga, Ge, In, Nb, Ta, Te, and Tl. Despite increasing recognition of …

Coconut-fiber biochar (CFB) was applied at 3%(w/w) to two soils spiked with 250, 2500,
5000 mg kg− 1 of lead (Pb), respectively, aiming to explore the effects of CFB and the …

Biochar, an environmentally friendly material, was found to passivate lead (Pb) in
contaminated soil effectively. This study utilized spectroscopic investigations and partial …

Heavy metals account for a notable share of soil and water body contaminations. For
restoring contaminated soils, phytoremediation is considered an eco-friendly and …

This work aimed to evaluate the potential of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (nano-Fe 2 O 3) to
alleviate potentially toxic elements (PTEs)-induced stress in barley plants (Hordeum vulgare …

Understanding heavy metals (HMs) accumulation and transportation is the foundation to
assess the ecological risks caused by the pollution of HMs in terrestrial ecosystems. There …
