Legumes Can Increase Cadmium Contamination in Neighboring Crops
Legumes are widely used in many cropping systems because they share their nitrogen fixation products and phosphorus mobilization activities with their neighbors. In the current study, however, we showed that co-cultivation with legumes increased cadmium (Cd) contamination in the adjacent crops. Both field and mesocosm experiments indicated that legumes increased Cd levels in edible parts and sh...
متن کاملCadmium contamination of agricultural soils and crops
23 The biogeochemistry and bioavailability of cadmium, released during sphalerite 24 weathering in soils, were investigated under contrasting agricultural scenarios to assess 25 health risks associated with sphalerite dust transport to productive soils from mining. 26
متن کاملCadmium Levels in Soils and Crops in the United States
The concentrations of cadmium in agricultural soils depend upon the amounts present in the parent rocks from which the soils form, the amounts added in the form of fertilizers and soil amendments, the amounts deposited onto soils from the atmosphere, and the amounts removed by harvested crops and by leaching. On average, sedimentary rocks contain greater concentrations of Cd than either igneous...
متن کاملAn Investigation on T-2 Toxin Contamination in Wheat Crops from 11 Cities, Iran
Objective: The major Fusarium toxins found in cereals and cereal-based products that can be harmful to both human and animal health are some trichothecenes, such as deoxynivalenol (DON). Methods: A recent SCOOP project, Since toxinogenic fungi are cosmopolitan, mycotoxins are environmental pollutants present in virtually all parts of the world and causing diseases (mycotoxicoses) . Thi...
متن کاملCan thiol compounds be used as biomarkers of aquatic ecosystem contamination by cadmium?
Due to anthropogenic activities, heavy metals still represent a threat for various trophic levels. If aquatic animals are exposed to heavy metals we can obviously observe considerable toxicity. It is well known that an organism affected by cadmium (Cd) synthesize low molecular mass thiol compounds rich in cysteine (Cys), such as metallothioneins (MT) and glutathione (GSH/GSSG). The aim of this ...
