Stepwise redox changes alter the speciation and mobilization of phosphorus in hydromorphic soils

Sabry M. Shaheen et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in arable soils, P, Fe2+, and OC mobilize at E-H <= 200 mV, while P immobilizes at E-H > 200 mV due to strong binding with Fe3+. Additionally, pH changes and interactions with Fe3+, organic carbon, and carbonates play a key role in the migration and retention of P during redox processes.

Pig carcass-derived biochar caused contradictory effects on arsenic mobilization in a contaminated paddy soil under fluctuating controlled redox conditions

Xing Yang et al.

Summary: Contamination of paddy soils by arsenic is a major concern, and animal-derived biochar can impact the mobilization of As under fluctuating redox conditions. Pig carcass-derived biochar was found to decrease the concentration of dissolved As under oxidizing conditions, but increase it under reducing conditions in contaminated paddy soils.

Elucidating the redox-driven dynamic interactions between arsenic and iron-impregnated biochar in a paddy soil using geochemical and spectroscopic techniques

Xing Yang et al.

Summary: Iron-modified biochar shows potential in immobilizing arsenic in paddy soils under varying redox conditions, through transforming As-bound Fe (hydro)oxides and forming complexes. Raw biochar with its porous structure and oxygen-containing functional groups can also effectively immobilize arsenic in soils.

The significance of eighteen rice genotypes on arsenic accumulation, physiological response and potential health risk

Nabeel Khan Niazi et al.

Summary: The genotypic variation among rice plants plays a pivotal role in arsenic accumulation, with fine genotypes showing higher tolerance compared to coarse genotypes. The study reveals the significance of genotypes in mitigating the human health risk associated with arsenic contamination.

Human health risk via soil ingestion of potentially toxic elements and remediation potential of native plants near an abandoned mine spoil in Ghana

Albert Kobina Mensah et al.

Summary: The study revealed that elements such as arsenic and titanium exceeded the world soil average in soils near an abandoned gold mine in Ghana, indicating high soil contamination levels. Adults and children faced significant human health risks from consuming soil, especially children and women. Some native plants like Chromolaena odorata and ferns may have the potential to reduce soil contamination and associated human health risks by accumulating elements like arsenic, copper, titanium, and zinc into their shoots.
