Agricultural soils are under threat of toxic metal/metalloid contamination from anthropogenic
activities, leading to excessive accumulation of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and …

The contamination of soils with heavy metals and its associated hazardous effects are a
thrust area of today's research. Rapid industrialization, emissions from automobiles …

Heavy metal (HM) toxicity has become a global concern in recent years and is imposing a
severe threat to the environment and human health. In the case of plants, a higher …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that emits in large quantities to the atmosphere (> 6,000–
8,000 Mg Hg per year) through anthropogenic activities, biomass burning, geogenic …

Abstract Background Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are two toxic elements that have a
relatively high risk of transfer from paddy soil to rice grain. Rice is a major dietary source of …

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals in the environment, and has noxious effects on
plant growth and production. Cd-accumulating plants showed reduced growth and …

Rapid industrialisation, increased rate of waste production, higher agricultural inputs,
mining, industrial waste, and contaminated irrigation water are increasing the heavy metal …

Cadmium is a non-essential trace metal, which is highly toxic to nearly all living organisms.
Soil pollution causes Cd contamination of crops, thereby rendering plant products …

Cadmium (Cd) is a primary contaminant in agricultural soils of the world. The ability of Cd
uptake, transport, detoxification, and accumulation varies among different plant species and …

Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are toxic elements that are almost ubiquitously present
at low levels in the environment because of anthropogenic influences. Dietary intake of plant …
