Abstract Heavy metal (loid)(HM) pollution of agricultural soils is a growing global
environmental concern that affects planetary health. Numerous studies have shown that soil …

The co-occurrence of microplastics (MPs) and heavy metal (loid) s (HMs) has attracted
growing scientific interest because of their wide distribution and environmental toxicity …

Inappropriate handling of copper (Cu) and lead (Pb)-containing wastewater resulting from
metallurgical and smelting industries in Northwest China encourages their migration to …

Inappropriate handling of heavy metal-containing wastewater resulting from extensive
mining and smelting activities causes serious threats to surrounding environments and …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination has resulted in serious reduction of crop yields. Silicon (Si), as
a beneficial element, regulates plant growth to heavy metal toxicity mainly through reducing …

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is increasingly being explored for Pb-
contaminated water bodies and soil remediation. However, the Pb-related precipitate …

Inappropriate handling of smelting-and irrigation-induced copper (Cu) or lead (Pb) in soils
could cause serious threats to surrounding environments and human health. Electrokinetic …

Abstract Silicon (Si) and Zinc (Zn) have been frequently used to alleviate cadmium (Cd)
toxicity, which are feasible strategies for crop safety production. However, the mechanisms …

Lead (Pb) accumulation can lead to serious threats to surrounding environments and
damage to the liver and kidneys. In the past few years, microbial-induced carbonate …

Abstract Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are two toxic metal (loid) s that pose significant risks
to food security and human health. Silicon (Si) has attracted substantial attention because of …
