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) isotopes have great potential for understanding Cd geochemical cycling in
soil and aquatic systems. Iron (oxyhydr) oxides can sequester Cd via adsorption and …

Barium (Ba) mining and smelting activities release heavy metal (loid) s (HMs) that may
cause threats to agroecological systems and human health. Here, contamination features …

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 …

Source tracing of heavy metals in agricultural soils is of critical importance for effective
pollution control and targeting policies. It is a great challenge to identify and apportion the …

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 …

In recent years, the naturally high background value region of Cd derived from the
weathering of carbonate has received wide attention. Due to the significant difference in soil …

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) has been considered an environmental-friendly
phosphate fertilizer without cadmium (Cd) input into soils, but its possibility of Cd fixation in …

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