With modern day urbanization and industrialization, heavy metal (HM) contamination has
become a prime concern for today's society. The impacts of metal contamination on …

Copper phytotoxicity in soils is difficult to assess because Cu accumulates at and damages
roots, and is not readily transferred to shoots. Soil chemical properties strongly influence Cu …

With the rapid development of the mining industry, the pollution of heavy metal (loid) s in
soils near copper (Cu) mining sites is a significant concern worldwide. However, the …

Copper is an essential element for metabolism in plants and animals. In its nanoform,
copper has found various applications, thus increasing potential environmental exposure …

Zinc (Zn) plays an important role in the physiology and biochemistry of plants due to its
established essentiality and toxicity for living beings at certain Zn concentration ie, deficient …

Copper is an essential metal for plants. It plays key roles in photosynthetic and respiratory
electron transport chains, in ethylene sensing, cell wall metabolism, oxidative stress …

With the increased use of metal nanoparticles (NPs), their access to the food chain has
become a main concern to scientists and holds controversial social implications. This …

Copper (Cu) pollution is one of environmental problems that adversely affects the growth
