Cadmium (Cd) is well known for causing adverse health effects in subsistence rice farmers
in Asia, and as a subject of food-chain concern, but is seldom important as a cause of …

Cadmium (Cd) has been identified as one of the major heavy metals reaching the food chain
through various geogenic and anthropogenic activities. In many East and South Asian …

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 …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy fields is a serious health concern because of its high
toxicity and widespread pollution. Recently, much progress has been made in elucidating …

Characterizing the interactions between Cd and Zn with respect to the soil soluble Cd and
crop Cd uptake allows the development of risk-based approaches to the performance of …

During the last 25 years, research in many areas has characterized factors which affect
phytoavailability of soil Cd, and bioavailability of food Cd in relation to food-chain protection …

The accumulation of cadmium in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a
serious threat to the safe use of farmland and to the health of the human diet that has …

We believe greater consideration should be given the agronomic and nutritional/
bioavailability factors that influence risk from Cd-contaminated soils. We have argued that …

Food chain contamination by cadmium (Cd) is globally a serious health concern resulting in
chronic abnormalities. Rice is a major staple food of the majority world population, therefore …

Abstract Application of Zinc (Zn) is considered an effective measure to reduce Cadmium
(Cd) uptake and toxicity in Cd-contaminated soils for many plant species. However …
