Arsenic (As) is an environmental and food chain contaminant. Excessive accumulation of As,
particularly inorganic arsenic (As i), in rice (Oryza sativa) poses a potential health risk to …

Arsenic (As) is an element that is nonessential for and toxic to plants. Arsenic contamination
in the environment occurs in many regions, and, depending on environmental factors, its …

We report here on recent developments and advances in pore-scale X-ray tomographic
imaging of subsurface porous media. Our particular focus is on immiscible multi-phase fluid …

Phytoremediation, a plant based green technology, has received increasing attention after
the discovery of hyperaccumulating plants which are able to accumulate, translocate, and …

From the perspective of a chemist, biology confers a rich variety of roles on a number of
metal ions. It is widely agreed that a large fraction of the genomic output of living things …

Arsenic (As) exposure from consumption of rice can be substantial, particularly for the
population on a subsistence rice diet in South Asia. Paddy rice has a much enhanced As …

Plant-assisted bioremediation or phytoremediation holds promise for in situ treatment of
polluted soils. Enhancement of phytoremediation processes requires a sound …

A compartmented soil-glass bead culture system was used to investigate characteristics of
iron plaque and arsenic accumulation and speciation in mature rice plants with different …

Modified biochars, including magnetic biochars, have been tested in water for the removal of
inorganic pollutants. However, at present it is unknown if they possess benefits over …

Toxic metal (loid) contamination of soil and sediment poses long term risk to soil and human
health through plant–human or plant–animal–human food chain pathways. Iron plaque (IP) …
