Health risks of heavy metals in contaminated soils and food crops irrigated with wastewater in Beijing, China
TL;DR: It is highlighted that both adults and children consuming food crops grown in wastewater-irrigated soils ingest significant amount of the metals studied, however, health risk index values of less than 1 indicate a relative absence of health risks associated with the ingestion of contaminated vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health risk assessment of heavy metals and their source apportionment in drinking water of Kohistan region, northern Pakistan
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to investigate heavy metal (Cu, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn and Cd) concentrations of drinking water (surface water and groundwater) samples in Kohistan region, northern Pakistan.
Journal ArticleDOI
The uptake and bioaccumulation of heavy metals by food plants, their effects on plants nutrients, and associated health risk: a review.
TL;DR: Consumption of vegetables grown on metal-contaminated soil were nutrient deficient and consumption of such vegetables may lead to nutritional deficiency in the population particularly living in developing countries which are already facing the malnutrition problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil contamination with cadmium, consequences and remediation using organic amendments
TL;DR: This review paper focuses on the sources, generation, and use of different organic amendments to remediate Cd contaminated soil, discusses their effects on soil physical and chemical properties, Cd bioavailability, plant uptake, and human health risk, and provides an update of the most relevant findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sewage sludge biochar influence upon rice (Oryza sativa L) yield, metal bioaccumulation and greenhouse gas emissions from acidic paddy soil
TL;DR: SSBC can be beneficial in rice paddy soil but the actual associated benefits will depend on site-specific conditions and source of SS; long-term effects remain a further unknown.
