This study was conducted to investigate the concentrations of heavy metals in soil and
vegetables, and human health risks through ingestion of contaminated vegetables. Soil and …

The application of mineral phosphate (P) fertilizers leads to an unintended Cd input into
agricultural systems, which might affect soil fertility and quality of crops. The Cd fluxes at …

Cadmium (Cd) has accumulated in New Zealand agricultural systems, predominantly from
the application of phosphorus (P) fertiliser to soils. Elevated Cd concentrations in soils are …

We evaluated the distribution of 15 metal ions, namely Al, Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, La, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sc,
Ti, V, Y, Zn and Zr, in the soil of a contaminated site in Piedmont (Italy). This area was found …

Extreme and uncontrolled usage of pesticides produces a number of problems for
vegetation and human health. In this study, the existence of organophosphates (OPs) …

Cadmium (Cd) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) or its metabolite residues are
frequently detected in agricultural soils and food, posing a threat to human health. The …

Rice is a main source of dietary cadmium (Cd), thus, how to reduce the Cd concentration in
brown rice has received extensive attention worldwide. In three acidic paddy soils slightly to …

Risk assessments of contaminated land often involve the use of generic bioconcentration
factors (BCFs), which express contaminant concentrations in edible plant parts as a function …

At present, soil quality standards used for agriculture do not fully consider the influence of
soil properties on cadmium (Cd) uptake by crops. This study aimed to develop prediction …

Twenty-nine pesticide residues in nut-planted soils from China were investigated. One
organophosphate (chlorpyrifos) was detected in 5.3% soils, and the residue levels of 7.2 …
