Cadmium (Cd) is an unessential trace element in plants that is ubiquitous in the
environment. Anthropogenic activities such as disposal of urban refuse, smelting, mining …

Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential trace element that is widely distributed in the environment.
Both geogenic and anthropogenic sources can elevate Cd concentrations in soils and …

Trace elements (TEs) are deposited to soils mainly due to anthropogenic activities and pose
a significant threat to human health. In this review we aimed at (a) discussing the …

The objective of this study was to investigate heavy metal contamination in four major
vegetable bases and determine the health risks of residents in the vicinity of the highly …

The agricultural land-atmospheric dustfall-plant system around the mining area is at high
risks of heavy metal pollution caused by mining-smelting activities. In this study, 118 …

In this study, surface soil and corn cob samples were collected from 15 different agricultural
fields of Çanakkale, Turkey. These samples were analysed to determine the concentration of …

The present research was conducted to determine heavy metals in agricultural soils from
Çanakkale, Turkey, using a sequential extraction procedure (acid soluble, reducible …

Determining the factors that control the spatial variation of heavy metals in suburban soil is
important in identifying and preventing pollution sources. Soil intrinsic factors combined with …

Elevated cadmium (Cd) concentrations in groundwater have widespread implications for
water supply and agriculture. The aqueous chemistry of Cd is considered not complex; …

Batch experiments and sequential extraction analysis were employed to investigate the
effects of soil organic matter and CaCO 3 on the adsorption and desorption of cadmium (Cd …
