Potentially toxic element (PTE) pollution is a major abiotic stress, which reduces plant growth and affects food quality by entering the chain, ultimately poses hazards to human health. Currently, use of slag in PTE-contaminated soils has been reported reduce PTEs toxicity plants. This review highlights role used as fertilizer for better crop production sustainable agricultural development. The...

Thirty-four surface soil samples were collected from the palm farms of Al-Ammariah area, northwest Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to assess contamination and environmental risk potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), strontium (Sr), uranium (U), va...

Abstract Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from mining industries pollute the surrounding environment and threaten health of communities. Worldwide, exotic indigenous trees are being recommended for green belts to trap dust thereby limit dispersion PTEs. This study compares potential ( Eucalyptus grandis E. camaldulensis ) native Brachystegia longifolia tree species in Zambia accumulate PTEs ev...

Reports have shown that potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in air, water, and soil systems expose humans to carcinogenic non-carcinogenic health risks. In southeastern Nigeria, works used data-driven algorithms predicting PTEs groundwater are scarce. addition, only a few simulated water quality indices using machine learning modelling methods the region. Therefore, this study, physicochemical an...
