To explore a novel strategy for the remediation of soils polluted with Cu and Cd, three strains
of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) isolated from contaminated mines and two …

Urbanization-induced soil quality degradation is a global challenge in both developed and
developing nations which can be responsible for the reduced health and productivity of …

High-quality and accurate environmental investigations are essential for the evaluation of
contamination and subsequent decision-making processes. A combination of environmental …

The contamination of urban soils with heavy elements due to the rapid development of
urbanization and urban services has become a major environmental and human health …

The influence of anthropogenic outdoor sources on the geochemical composition of house
dust material in large cities is poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the magnetic …

Intercropping of crops with hyperaccumulators is a sustainable method to remediate
contaminated soil without impeding agro-production. However, the function of engineered …

The aim of this study is to analyse the concentration and determine the sources of potentially
toxic elements (PTEs) in urban soils under the influence of mining activities. To this end …

The Pouma area is located within the Yaoundé domain of the Pan-Africa Fold Belt in
