Heavy metal pollution in surface soils poses significant environmental and health risks, yet the factors driving its spatial distribution remain poorly understood in certain regions. This study investigates the distribution and key influencing factors of heavy metal contamination in surface soils across Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, Chi...

In this study, five poplar clones (Populus deltoides cl. PE19/66, cl. S1-8, cl. 135/81, and Populus × euramericana cl. I-214, cl. Pannonia) and two white willow clones (Salix alba cl. 380, cl. 107/65-9) were tested in pot trials. The aim was to evaluate their potential for phytoextraction of nine heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in...

Incineration is a highly effective method for treating oily sludge. However, during the incineration process, heavy metals may either be released into the air via flue gas or remain in the bottom ash in an unstable form, posing significant environmental threats. Mineral compounds can provide adsorption sites for heavy metals and promote the stable ...

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a growing public health concern. This secondary data study of a case series leveraged existing samples and data to explore the potential link between exposure to heavy metals/essential elements and stage of EC. We analyzed urine samples from women with EC, measuring levels of toxic metals (cadmium, mercury, and lead) and ...

Microplastic (MP) contamination in soil is an emerging environmental concern, influencing the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals (HMs). This study investigates how different MP types (PP, PS, PVC, HDPE, LDPE, PES, and PET-Glitter) affect HM behavior in soil, focusing on sorption/desorption, and the extraction efficiency of Pb, Cu, Co, Ni,...

Biochar can stabilize heavy metals in soil and inhibit their accumulation in plants as a soil amendment. Sepiolite has also shown good effects in the remediation of soil heavy metal pollution. In this study, biochar, sepiolite, and biochar–sepiolite combined amendments were used to evaluate the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in soil by ...

The phytoremediation potential of the halophytic plant, Tamarix smyrnensis (T. smyrnensis), was examined in toxic metal spoils assisted by biochar and irrigation by air nanobubbles. The substrate (spoil) used in the present study was derived from areas close to laterite (Ni-containing ores) mines. The efficiency of biochar addition in two rates (5 ...

Ekologický trend, který se šíří v reakci na změnu klimatu, zasahuje do všech odvětví průmyslu. Postupné změny jsou však závislé na vývoji nových technologií a využití alternativních možností. Mezi největší znečišťovatele patří elektrárenský průmysl, který produkuje značné objemy odpadního popílku. Tento odpad může představovat vážné ekologické rizi...

Biochar is a popular amendment in Cd polluted soil. However, the performance of bulk biochar is still less than satisfactory, so effective modification is very important to improve its capacity to adsorb Cd. In the present study, biochar derived from reed straw was modified by ball milling with the addition of either potassium hydroxide (KOH) alone...

Heavy metals (HMs) exert a negative impact on physiological processes in plants, which can adversely affect the productivity of agricultural crops. In this experiment, we assessed the potential to mitigate the toxic effects of HMs on soft wheat through the use of rhizospheric microorganisms from the genus Azospirillum. In the initial phase of the e...
