Global concerns towards potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are steadily increasing due to the
significant threats that PTEs pose to human health and environmental quality. This calls for …

Risk assessment of metal-contaminated habitats based on responses in the field is
complicated by the evolution of local, metal-resistant ecotypes. The unpredictability of …

In ecotoxicology, it is continuously questioned whether (nano) particle exposure results in
particle uptake and subsequent biodistribution or if particles adsorb to the epithelial layer …

One of the key components for environmental risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials
(ENMs) is data on bioaccumulation potential. Accurately measuring bioaccumulation can be …

Soil toxicological tests are commonly performed using Eisenia fetida as the standard
earthworm species, but it is tolerant to a wide range of pollutants. Therefore, the inclusion of …

Uptake and elimination kinetics of metals in soil invertebrates are a function of both soil and
organism properties. This study critically reviewed metal toxicokinetics in soil invertebrates …

Quantification of the uptake and elimination of nanomaterials (NMs) by organisms is key in
assessing the environmental risks of NMs. For this, uptake models for conventional solutes …

Abstract The bioavailability of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd from field-aged orchard soils in a certified
fruit plantation area of the Northeast Jiaodong Peninsula in China was assessed using …

Harvesting whole-tree biomass for biofuel combustion intensifies removal of nutrients from
the ecosystem. This can be partly amended by applying ash from the combustion back to the …

Triazole contaminants in water and soil environments can form complexes with metal ions,
and therefore affect the bioavailability and toxicity of some heavy metals. In present study …
