The two forms of inorganic arsenic, arsenate (AsV) and arsenite (AsIII), are easily taken up
by the cells of the plant root. Once in the cell, AsV can be readily converted to AsIII, the more …

Globally, environmental contamination by potentially noxious metalloids like arsenic is
becoming a critical concern to the living organisms. Arsenic is a non-essential metalloid for …

Arsenic (As) is one of the highly toxic metalloids distributed ubiquitously in nature. Two
inorganic forms of As are present abundantly: arsenite (AsIII) and arsenate (AsV), former …

Heavy metals are toxic substances released into the environment, contributing to a variety of
toxic effects on living organisms in food chain by accumulation and biomagnifications …

Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic contaminant in the environment. Although both inorganic and
organic types of arsenic exist in the environment, the most common inorganic forms of As …

Abstract Arsenic (As), a naturally-occurring metalloid, is not essential for plant growth, but it
can accumulate in plants to toxic levels. As a result, it can enter the food chain and pose …

Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitous metalloid that is highly toxic to all living organisms. When grown
in As-contaminated soils, plants may accumulate significant amounts of As in the grains or …

Arsenic (As) is a metalloid prevalent mainly in soil and water. The presence of As above
permissible levels becomes toxic and detrimental to living organisms, therefore, making it a …

Arsenic is a ubiquitous metalloid in the biosphere, and its origin can be either geogenic or
anthropic. Four oxidation states (− 3, 0,+ 3 and+ 5) characterize organic and inorganic As …

The non-essential metalloid arsenic (As) is widely distributed in soil and underground water
of many countries. Arsenic contamination is a concern because it creates threat to food …
