The exposure to low or high concentrations of arsenic (As), either due to the direct
consumption of As contaminated drinking water, or indirectly through daily intake of As …

Most of the heavy metals (HMs), and metals/metalloids are released into the nature either by
natural phenomenon or anthropogenic activities. Being sessile organisms, plants are …

Arsenic, one of the elements having most terrible impact on the human being, is threatening
the world continuously. It exists in the combined form in rocks under earth which on …

During the history of life on Earth, tectonic and climatic change repeatedly generated large
territories that were virtually devoid of life and exhibited harsh environmental conditions. The …

Arsenic (As) is an environmental and food chain contaminant. Excessive accumulation of As,
particularly inorganic arsenic (As i), in rice (Oryza sativa) poses a potential health risk to …

This paper reviews the current knowledge on the toxicity, speciation and biogeochemistry of
arsenic in aquatic environmental systems. The toxicity of arsenic is highly dependent on the …

Arsenic (As) is an element that is nonessential for and toxic to plants. Arsenic contamination
in the environment occurs in many regions, and, depending on environmental factors, its …

The removal of inorganic contaminants by plants is termed phytoextraction. Recent studies
have looked at the feasibility of phytoextraction, and demonstrate that both good biomass …

Metals are common contaminants worldwide. Long-term deposition of metals in soils can
lead to accumulation, transport and biotoxicity/zootoxicity caused by mobility and …

This paper reviews major processes that potentially affect the fate of arsenic in the
rhizosphere of plants. Rhizosphere interactions are deemed to play a key role in controlling …
