Agricultural soils are under threat of toxic metal/metalloid contamination from anthropogenic
activities, leading to excessive accumulation of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and …

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 …

Heavy metal pollution is a notable threat to agricultural production. Soil heavy metal
pollution can cause potential ecological risk (ERI), and crop heavy metal pollution can cause …

Rapid industrialization in China during the last three decades has resulted in widespread
contamination of Cd in agricultural soils. A considerable proportion of the rice grain grown in …

Soil contamination in some areas of southern China has resulted in elevated dietary intake
of cadmium (Cd), posing a potential risk to human health. A survey of paired soil-rice (n …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is primary dietary source for half of the global population that
comprising both essential nutrients and toxic heavy metal elements for human health. A …

Contamination of cadmium (Cd) in paddy soil is a serious environmental problem
threatening food safety in some parts of southern China, where rice grain Cd concentration …

As a consequence of industrial development, soil Cd pollution leads to crop contamination
by Cd, posing a threat to food safety and human health. Excessive accumulation of Cd in …

Rapid industrialization in China in recent decades has resulted in soil contamination in
some areas, raising the concern about food safety. Consumption of rice represents a major …

Plants are sessile organisms and face numerous biotic and abiotic stresses throughout their
life cycle, of which metal/metalloid toxicity considerably lowers crop production. Rice is an …
