The contamination of agricultural soils with inorganic (Cu-based) and organic pesticides
(including their residues) presents a major environmental and toxicological concern. This …

Prediction of the fate of metals in soil requires knowledge of their solid–liquid partitioning.
This paper reviews analytical methods and models for measuring or predicting the solid …

The effect of biochar application on the fate of Cd, Zn and Pb was investigated in a
contaminated soil amended with three different rates of biochar (1%, 5% and 10%; w/w). In …

Heavy metals and metalloids in soils are derived from the soil parent material (lithogenic
source) and various anthropogenic sources, most of which involve several metal (loid) s …

It has been suggested, but not previously measured, that dissolution kinetics of soluble
nanoparticles such as CuO nanoparticles (NPs) in soil affect their phytotoxicity. An added …

Long-term organic fertilizer (OF) application on agricultural soils is known to induce soil Cu
and Zn contamination, along with pH and organic matter changes, which in turn alter the soil …

Dynamic behaviors of the newly deposited atmospheric heavy metals in the soil-pak choi
(Brassica chinensis L.) system are investigated by a fully factorial atmospheric exposure …

Total concentrations of metals in soil are poor predictors of toxicity. In the last decade,
considerable effort has been made to demonstrate how metal toxicity is affected by the …

Agricultural soil is gradually becoming a primary sink for metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs).
The uptake and accumulation of MNPs by crops may contaminate food chain and pose …

Soil contamination by trace elements (TE) is a major environmental problem and much
research is done into its effects on ecosystems and human health, as well as into …
