Journal ArticleDOI
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
Diverse and abundant antibiotic resistance genes in Chinese swine farms.
Yong-Guan Zhu,Timothy A. Johnson,Jian-Qiang Su,Min Qiao,Guang Xia Guo,Robert D. Stedtfeld,Syed A. Hashsham,James M. Tiedje +7 more
TL;DR: Diverse, abundant, and potentially mobile ARGs in farm samples suggest that unmonitored use of antibiotics and metals is causing the emergence and release of ARGs to the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil Contamination in China: Current Status and Mitigation Strategies
TL;DR: Comparisons with other regions of the world show that the current status of soil contamination, based on the total contaminant concentrations, is not worse in China, however, the concentrations of some heavy metals in Chinese soils appear to be increasing at much greater rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of silicon-mediated alleviation of abiotic stresses in higher plants: a review.
TL;DR: The key mechanisms of Si-mediated alleviation of abiotic stresses in higher plants include: stimulation of antioxidant systems in plants, complexation or co-precipitation of toxic metal ions with Si, immobilization of toxicMetal ions in growth media, uptake processes, and compartmentation of metal ions within plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of antibiotic resistance in China and its environment
TL;DR: It is important to understand the current state of antibiotic use in China and its relationship to ARG prevalence and diversity in the environment, and also future needs in mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environments, particularly under the 'planetary health' perspective.
