Metals in soil are potentially harmful to humans and ecosystems. Stable isotope
measurement may provide “fingerprint” information on the sources of metals. In light of the …

Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring element present in all soils from both geogenic and
anthropogenic sources. The primary risk pathway to humans is exposure through dietary …

Cadmium (Cd) stable isotopes provide a novel technique to investigate the fate of Cd in the
environment, but challenges exist for tracing the sources in the plants. We performed …

The geochemical characteristics of heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ti, Zn) in 61 surface
sediments from the Yangtze River Estuary and its adjacent East China Sea were studied …

Cadmium isotopic compositions in non-contaminated systems and anthropogenic sources of
Cd generally have different isotopic signatures. Cadmium isotopes, as a novel tracer, can be …

Conventional assessment of soil environmental quality commonly focuses on soil heavy
metals (HMs), neglecting the HMs in agricultural products. To response this shortcoming, a …

Soils co-contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and cadmium (Cd)
have serious environmental impacts and are highly toxic to humans and ecosystems …

Cadmium (Cd) isotopes are known to fractionate during complexation with various
environmentally relevant surfaces and ligands. Our results, which were obtained using (i) …

The contamination of soil and water by metals such as mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) has
been increasing in recent years, because of anthropogenic activities such as mining and …

Aims Phosphorus (P) fertilizers are often considered an important source of cadmium (Cd) in
crop plants. However, increased plant Cd concentrations are not strictly related to the Cd …
