Environmental and health risk posed by heavy metals from municipal landfill cannot be over
emphasized. However, the toxicity and fate of metal in the soil is dependent on its chemical …

Although stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) has been shown to reduce HM (heavy metal) content
in soil, its wider phytoremediation potential has been neglected. Urtica dioica was cultivated …

Samples of wheat and soil were collected in the Lihe watershed in East China, the migration
and accumulation processes of four common trace metals (Cu, Pb, Cd and Ni) in each part …

There is an increasing global concern for adverse effects of inorganic fertilizer and
pesticides applied to agricultural soils. This study investigated metal speciation in soil and …

Seasonal impact on soil trace metals and phytoaccumulation potentials of Cucurbita pepo,
Cucumis sativus and Taliferia occidentalis grown in Ishiagu quarry mining effluent discharge …

The natural bioaccumulation potential of some transitional metals, such us copper, zinc and
manganese, was assessed in eight herbaceous species commonly growing on the Black …

Industries and mines discharge wastewaters that contain heavy metals that cause toxicity
when accumulated beyond permissible limits in the environment and in living organisms …

This study investigated the concentrations and distribution patterns of some heavy metals in
soil around some waste dumpsites in Ozoro, South-South, Nigeria. Two different dumpsites …

The highest average concentrations were found in Salix alba L. species: 8.89 mg/kg Cu,
43.94 mg/kg Mn and 94.10 mg/kg Zn, values that are not consistent with hyperaccumulation …

Studies of dumpsites have revealed that the surrounding soils and water are contaminated
with high threshold of heavy metals through anthropogenic inputs. In this review, the uptake …
