Metal tolerance in plants: Molecular and physicochemical interface determines the not so heavy effect of heavy metals

Meenakshi Thakur et al.

Summary: The increase in technological interventions and urbanization has led to the accumulation of heavy metals in the environment, posing a threat to human health through their entry into the food chain. The issue of restricting heavy metal entry into plant systems and modulating their response is a cause for concern that requires updated knowledge on the regulatory factors involved.

The influence of the physicochemical properties of sediment on the content and ecotoxicity of trace elements in bottom sediments

Patrycja Boguta et al.

Summary: The study revealed that higher content of trace elements in bottom sediments increased their potential toxicity, but the ecotoxicity of sediments was mainly influenced by physicochemical properties rather than trace element content. Significant differences in carbonate and organic matter contents led to differences in trace element sorption.

Trace metals enrichment and potential ecological risk in sediments of the Sepetiba Bay (Rio de Janeiro, SE Brazil)

Layla Cristine da Silva et al.

Summary: The Sepetiba Bay in Southeast Brazil has been heavily impacted by urbanization and industrial activity. This study examines the pollution levels of metals in sediments in the bay. The results indicate a significant increase in concentrations of potentially toxic elements, in line with rapid population and industrial growth since 1970. Currents have played a role in the dispersion of pollutants from the main source to distant areas. The sediments in deeper layers also show pollution, possibly from lithologic sources. The concentrations of potentially toxic elements in the bay are relatively high compared to global and other Brazilian water bodies. High-resolution sediment cores confirm that the coastal system's ecological risk is influenced by both human activities and natural causes.

Effects of Green Waste Compost Addition to Dredged Sediments of the Matanza-Riachuelo River (Argentina) on Heavy Metal Extractability and Bioaccumulation in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

Luis Ignacio do Carmo et al.

Summary: Soil amendments, particularly 30% green waste compost addition, can effectively reduce the bioavailability of metals in contaminated dredged sediments, with a more significant effect in industrialized and densely populated areas.
