On the verge of just transition leading to phase-wise closure of coal mines worldwide, coal
mine reclamation and eco-restoration will emerge as the major activity in the coming …

The understanding of sources and controlling factors of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in
soils plays an important role in the improvement of environmental management. With the …

This study demonstrated the simultaneous removal of lead (Pb) and selenium (Se) as lead
selenide biomineralization using anaerobic granular sludge. The microbial community of the …

Environmental contamination by heavy metals, such as lead (Pb), can lead to severe
immune dysfunction. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in regulating immunity. Whether Pb …

Artisanal mining may have modified the mobility, bioavailability and bioaccessibility of
potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the Serra Pelada gold mine, eastern Amazon, Brazil …

Increasing urbanisation has a direct impact on soil quality, resulting in elevated
concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils. This research aims to assess if …

Globally, many of our urban agriculture sites (UAS) contain high levels of lead (Pb), a
contaminant of toxicological concern to humans. To improve the derivation of soil …

Ionic lead (Pb) in the environment has accumulated due to anthropogenic activities, causing
a potential threat to plants and plant consumers. We conducted this study to reveal the …

This study aimed to investigate the protection mechanism of Se-containing protein
hydrolysates (SPH) from Se-enriched rice on Pb 2+-induced apoptosis in PC12 and …

The protective capacity of Se-containing protein hydrolysates with molecular weight below 1
kDa (SPHs-3), against Pb 2+-induced damage in PC12 and RAW264. 7 cells, was …
