Journal ArticleDOI
A review of soil heavy metal pollution from industrial and agricultural regions in China: Pollution and risk assessment.
TL;DR: This paper provides a comprehensive ecological and health risk assessment on the heavy metals in soils in Chinese industrial and agricultural regions and thus provides insights for the policymakers regarding exposure reduction and management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contamination features and health risk of soil heavy metals in China
TL;DR: The results showed that, due to the drastically increased industrial operations and fast urban expansion, Chinese soils were contaminated by heavy metals in varying degrees and children and adult females were the relatively vulnerable populations for the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metals in food crops: Health risks, fate, mechanisms, and management
TL;DR: This review focuses on and describes heavy metal contamination in soil-food crop subsystems with respect to human health risks, and explores the possible geographical pathways of heavy metals in such subsystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromium speciation, bioavailability, uptake, toxicity and detoxification in soil-plant system: A review.
Muhammad Shahid,Saliha Shamshad,Marina Rafiq,Sana Khalid,Irshad Bibi,Nabeel Khan Niazi,Camille Dumat,Muhammad Rashid +7 more
TL;DR: There is a dire need to monitor biogeochemical behavior of Cr in soil-plant system, as Chromium induces phytotoxicity by interfering plant growth, nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, inducing enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species, causing lipid peroxidation and altering the antioxidant activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foliar heavy metal uptake, toxicity and detoxification in plants: A comparison of foliar and root metal uptake.
TL;DR: This is the first review regarding biogeochemical behaviour of heavy metals in atmosphere-plant system and summarizes the mechanisms involved in foliar heavy metal uptake, transfer, compartmentation, toxicity and in plant detoxification.

Risk Assessment in the Federal Government: Managing the Process
TL;DR: The risk assessment/risk management knowledge representation was the capacity that it granted to the administrators of the EPA to design a joint decision-making process involving the various programmatic and functional offices of the agency and assembling the expertise and specific conceptions of uncertainty of toxicologists, economists, and policy analysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of heavy metal contaminations in urban soils, urban road dusts and agricultural soils from China.
Binggan Wei,Linsheng Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed quite a few heavy metal contamination related studies in several cities from China over the past 10 years and discussed the concentrations, sources, contamination levels, sample collection and analytical tools of heavy metals in urban soils, urban road dusts and agricultural soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate statistical and GIS-based approach to identify heavy metal sources in soils
TL;DR: The study indicates that background values and realistic mandatory guidelines are impossible to fix without an extensive data collection and without a correct geochemical interpretation of the data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health risk from heavy metals via consumption of food crops in the vicinity of Dabaoshan mine, South China.
TL;DR: Estimated daily intake (EDI) and THQs for Cd and Pb of rice and vegetables exceeded the FAO/WHO permissible limit and bio-accumulation factors of heavy metals were significantly higher for leafy than for non-leafy vegetable.
