How polluted are cities in central Europe? - Heavy metal contamination in Taraxacum officinale and soils collected from different land use areas of three representative cities

Marta Lisiak-Zielinska et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the relationships among Cd, Pb, Ni, and Cr content in plants and soils for 10 types of land use in urban areas of representative cities in central Europe region. The analysis revealed variation among sites, plant organs, and cities, with nickel being the element with the highest content in roots. Cluster analysis showed cadmium to be different from the other three elements in leaves.

The occurrence and sources of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in agricultural soils across China with an emphasis on unintentionally produced PCBs

Shuduan Mao et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that unintentionally produced PCBs are major contributors to atmospheric PCBs and are controlling PCB burdens in agricultural soils across China. The dominant contributors to PCBs in Chinese agricultural soils are the legacy of historically produced and used commercial PCB mixtures, especially high-chlorinated congeners. Unintentional sources, such as pigment/paint, combustion-related sources, and polymer sealants, account for a significant portion of total PCBs in Chinese soils.
