Soil degradation by metal and metalloid (metal [loid]) contamination represents a
widespread environmental threat. Most studies investigating soil metal (loid) contamination …

Enzyme activities (EAs) respond to contamination in several ways depending on the
chemical form and content of heavy metals and metalloids (HMs) and their interactions with …

The heavy metal levels in grey waste water, soil and vegetables from urban irrigation sites of
Yola and Kano were investigated. The concentrations in the irrigation waters are above the …

Trace elements contamination and accumulation in bottom sediment represents a risk to
environment and aquatic biota. Their anthropogenic or natural discharge, extension and …

Contaminated irrigation water can increase trace heavy metals concentration in agricultural
soil. The present research aimed to investigate the effect of three types of irrigation water …

Contamination of the food chain with heavy metals is considered as one of the major
environmental pathways of human exposure to metals leading to potential health risks. This …

Irrigation of agricultural land with wastewater leads to continuous buildup of metals at these
sites which gets accumulated in the vegetables and crops growing on these sites. Not just …

Determination of heavy metal concentrations in vegetables and agricultural soils is crucial
because high levels of heavy metals could affect soil quality, crop production and safe …

Soil fertility evaluation of an area or region is most basic decision making tool for the
sustainable soil nutrient management. In order to evaluate the soil fertility status of the …

The aim of this study was to evaluate levels, sources, and spatial distribution of 6 metals in
soils under agriculture in the Jordan valley. A total of 127 surface soil samples (101 irrigated …
