Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in older people in developed countries. It has been suggested that heavy metal exposure may be associated with the development of AMD, but most studies have focused on the effec...
Eating mussels contaminated with cadmium (Cd) can seriously harm health. In this study, a non-destructive and rapid detection method for Cd-contaminated mussels based on near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy was studied. The spectral data of Cd-cont...
The biogeochemical cycling of sulfur (S) in paddy soil influences cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) migration. However, the impact of S application on Cd and As within the soil-rice system has not been fully explored. This study aimed to examine the effe...

Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) and heavy metals (HMs) coexist worldwide. Existing studies have reported different or even contradictory toxic effects of co-exposure to MNPs and HMs on plants, which may be related to various influencing factors. In this st...
Karst soils often exhibit elevated zinc (Zn) levels, providing an opportunity to cultivate Zn-enriched crops. (meanwhile) However, these soils also frequently contain high background levels of toxic metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), posing potential...
Excessive cadmium (Cd) in brown rice has detrimental effects on rice growth and human health. Water management is a cost-effective, eco-friendly measure to suppress Cd accumulation in rice. However, there is no acknowledged water management regime th...
Cadmium (Cd) is a dangerous environmental contaminant. Jute (Corchorus sp.) is an important natural fiber crop with strong absorption and excellent adaptability to metal-stressed environments, used in the phytoextraction of heavy metals. Understandin...
The traditional prediction of the Cd content in grains (Cd) of crops primarily relies on the multiple linear regression models based on soil Cd content (Cd) and pH, neglecting inter-factorial interactions and nonlinear causal links between external e...
