Unintentional ingestion of metal-contaminated soils may pose a great threat to human
health. To accurately evaluate the health risks of heavy metal (loid) s in soils, their …

The rapid development of greenhouse vegetable production (GVP) in densely populated
areas may cause the heavy metal/metalloid accumulation in soil and pose a threat to human …

Heavy metal (loid) s in the environment threaten food safety and human health. Health risk
assessment of vegetables based on total or bioaccessible heavy metal (loid) s was widely …

Oral ingestion is the main exposure pathway through which humans ingest trace metals in
the soil, particularly for children. Metals in different soil particle size fractions may vary in …

Environmental pollution due to mining activities has been reported in many countries. In this
study, 283 vegetable and 44 corresponding garden soil samples were collected in the …

Heavy metal accumulation in agriculture soils is of particular concern in China, while the
status and probabilistic health risks of metal contamination in Chinese agriculture soils have …

Heavy metal pollution caused by a large number of abandoned industrial sites cannot be
underestimated, but its human health risks have not been accurately assessed. This study …

Elucidating the transfer behaviour of heavy metals from soils to grains and ultimately to
humans is of great significance for both human health risk assessment and pollution control …

There is limited study focusing on the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in vegetables and
human exposure to bioaccessible heavy metals in soil. In the present study, heavy metal …

Background The impacts of rapid urbanization and industrialization often cause toxic metal
contamination in agricultural soils, which has been a global environmental issue. Methods …
