Cadmium (Cd) toxicity in paddy soil and accumulation in rice plants and grains have got
global concern due to its health effects. This review highlights the effects of soil factors …

This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to
2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact …

Unlike organic contaminants, metal (loid) s do not undergo microbial or chemical
degradation and persist for a long time after their introduction. Bioavailability of metal (loid) s …

Immobilization is among the most-suitable strategies to remediate cadmium (Cd)
contaminated sites. Organic additives (OAs) have emerged as highly efficient and …

The drainage of rice soils increases Cd solubility and results in high Cd concentrations in
rice grains. However, plant Cd uptake is limited by sorption to iron plaques, and Cd …

Recently a dilute nitric acid extraction (0.43 M) was adopted by ISO (ISO-17586: 2016) as
standard for extraction of geochemically reactive elements in soil and soil like materials …

Although Cd availability depends on its total concentration in soil, it is ultimately defined by
the processes which control its mobility, transformations and soil solution speciation. Cd …

Until now, there has been little data on the isotope fractionation of nickel (Ni) in higher plants
and how this can be affected by plant Ni and zinc (Zn) homeostasis. A hydroponic cultivation …

Heavy metals are of environmental significance due to their effect on human health and the
ecosystem. One of the major exposure pathways of Heavy metals for humans is through …

Consumption of rice (Oryza sativa) grain is a major pathway by which humans are exposed
to Cd, especially in non-smoking Asian populations. Although the stable isotope signatures …
