Soil contamination with persistent and potentially (eco) toxic heavy metal (loid) s is
ubiquitous around the globe. Concentration of these heavy metal (loid) s in soil has …

Lead accumulation in soils is of serious concern in agricultural production due to the harmful
effects on soil microflora, crop growth and food safety. In soil, speciation of lead greatly …

Soils polluted with heavy metals have become common across the globe due to increase in
geologic and anthropogenic activities. Plants growing on these soils show a reduction in …

Background Plants that accumulate metal and metalloid trace elements to extraordinarily
high concentrations in their living biomass have inspired much research worldwide during …

The contamination of the environment with toxic metals has become a worldwide problem.
Metal toxicity affects crop yields, soil biomass and fertility. Soils polluted with heavy metals …

Contamination of the earth's ecosystems by potentially toxie metalsl metalloids is a global
problem. It will likely grow with our planet's increasing populations and their requirements for …

Heavy metal pollution of soil is a significant environmental problem and has its negative
impact on human health and agriculture. Rhizosphere, as an important interface of soil and …

This paper reviews current remediation technologies that use chelating agents for the
mobilization and removal of potentially toxic metals from contaminated soils. These …

This paper reviews progress in phytoextraction of soil elements and illustrates the key role of
hyperaccumulator plant species in useful phytoextraction technologies. Much research has …

The accumulation of metals in different environmental compartments poses a risk to both the
environment and biota health. In particular, the continuous increase of these elements in soil …
