Agro-products accumulate Cd from the soil and are the main source of Cd in humans. Their
use must therefore be minimized using effective strategies. Large soil beds containing low-to …

Lead (Pb) is the second most toxic heavy metal after arsenic (As), which has no role in
biological systems. Pb toxicity causes a range of damages to plants from germination to …

Maintaining food production for a growing world population without compromising natural
resources for future generations represents one of the greatest challenges for agricultural …

This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to
2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact …

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) pose a great threat to ecosystems and long-term exposure
causes adverse effects to wildlife and humans. Cadmium induces a variety of diseases …

Plants are the target of a wide range of pollutants that vary in concentration, speciation, and
toxicity. Such pollutants mainly enter the plant system through the soil (Arshad et al. 2008) or …

Immobilization is among the most-suitable strategies to remediate cadmium (Cd)
contaminated sites. Organic additives (OAs) have emerged as highly efficient and …

Biogeochemical behavior of lead (Pb), a persistent hazardous pollutant of environmental
concern, strongly depends on its chemical speciation. Therefore, in this review, link between …

The release of potentially toxic metal (loid) s (PTMs) such as As, Cd, Cr, Pb and Hg has
become a serious threat to the environment. The anthropogenic contribution of these PTMs …

Phytoremediation appears to be a promising technique for metal soil clean up, although its
successful application on a large scale still remains a challenge. Field experiments for six …
