In areca nut and husk, 14 elements (As, Ca, Cd, Cl, Co, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Rb, Sb, and Zn) were determined, while 34 elements including rare earth elements were detected in the corresponding soil samples using instrumental neutron activation analysis and atomic absorption spectrometry methods, whereas the concentration levels of Hg in tested sample...

In the Anthropocene era, an immersion of toxic substances, i.e., trace metals, has been enhanced in the marine environment not only due to urban sprawl and industrial development but predominantly owing to incongruous management and lack of sustainable approaches. The coastal region of Pakistan shares a similar obstacle as most of the developing co...

In recent years, environmental impacts related to the contamination of ecosystems by petroleum have become frequent. In contact with the environment, petroleum can cause toxic effects in the biodiversity and on human health and compromise both water and land resources. Among the strategies to overcome this issue, bioremediation stands out as viable...

Mercury contamination in river systems due to historic and current Hg releases is a persistent concern for both wildlife and human health. In larger rivers, like the Ohio River, USA, it is difficult to directly link Hg discharges to bioaccumulation due to the existence of multiple industrial Hg sources as well as the varied dietary and migratory ha...

The suitability for aided phytoremediation of Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis and municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) applied at 2% and 4 % rates was evaluated in a multi potentially toxic element (PTE)-contaminated mining soil (Pb ~ 15,383 mg kg-1, Zn ~ 4076 mg kg-1, As ~ 49 mg kg-1, Cd ~ 67 mg kg-1, Cu ~ 181 mg kg-1, and Sb ~ 109 mg kg-1). Th...

Beans of cacao (Theobroma cacaoL.) are used to produce a variety of chocolate products. Bioaccumulation of metals at toxic levels through the consumption of contaminated products has been identified as a health concern in humans. Both metal diversity and concentration as well as their interactions in the soil influence essential and non-essential m...

Rubber trees are the main source of natural rubber (NR). The area occupied by rubber plantations rose from 3.9 million ha in 1961 to 12.5 million ha in 2018. Both the expansion of rubber plantations in marginal zones (prone to biotic and abiotic stress), and long-term rubber tree cultivation in traditional areas, raise questions about the sustainab...

Trace metals such as Cu, Hg, and Zn have been widely investigated in marine ecotoxicological studies considering their bioaccumulation, transfer along trophic webs, and the risks they pose to ecosystems and human health. Comparatively, Li has received little attention, although this element is increasingly used in the high-tech, ceramics/glass, and...

Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant that is impacting ecosystems worldwide. Its toxicity is threatening wildlife and human populations, leading to the necessity of identifying the most affected ecosystems. Therefore, it is essential to identify pertinent bioindicator organisms to monitor Hg contamination. In this study, we determined the stable carbon an...

The coexistence of nanoparticles and organic toxicants in the environment modifies pollutant bioavailability and toxicity. This study investigated the influence of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (n-SiO2) on the uptake of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and its impact on the thyroid endocrine system in zebrafish larvae. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos ...
