Simultaneous alleviation of cadmium and arsenic accumulation in rice by applying zero-valent iron and biochar to contaminated paddy soils
The fates of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in paddy fields are generally opposite; thus, the
inconsistent transformation of Cd and As poses large challenges for their remediation. In this …
