Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely used in water and wastewater
treatment for the removal of organic and inorganic contaminants as well as to improve …

Mineral nutrition is one of the key factors determining plant productivity. In plants, metal
homeostasis is achieved through the functioning of a complex system governing metal …

Abstract Main conclusion Aqueous Si limits Cu uptake by a Si-accumulating plant via
physicochemical mechanisms occurring at the root level. Sufficient Si supply may alleviate …

We investigated the potential role of silicon in improving tolerance and decreasing cadmium
(Cd) toxicity in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. durum) either through a reduced Cd …

During their life span, plants can be subjected to a number of abiotic stresses, like drought,
temperature (both high and low), radiation, salinity, soil pH, heavy metals, lack of essential …

Chromium (Cr) is a highly toxic element adversely affecting the environment, cultivable
lands, and human populations. The present study investigated the effects of Cr (VI)(100–400 …

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 …

Cadmium (Cd) isotopes are an important tool to better understand the inorganic and organic
geochemistry of Cd. Organic ligands play a key role to control the toxicity and mobility of Cd …

Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, affects the yield and quality of crops. Wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) can accumulate high Cd content in the grain, which poses a major worldwide …

Elevated cadmium (Cd) concentrations in cacao and cocoa-based products (eg, chocolate)
present a potentially serious human health risk. While recent regulatory changes have …
