The assessment of soil contamination by heavy metals is of high importance due to its impact on the environment and human health. Standard high-sensitivity spectroscopic techniques for this task such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and induct...
The bioaccessibility of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in the gastrointestinal tract is crucial for health risk assessments of contaminated soils. However, variability in In vitro analytical conditions and soil properties introduces bias and uncertainty ...
Due to environmental concerns and economic value, the adsorption process using agricultural wastes is one of the promising methods to remove lead (Pb) from contaminated water. The relationships between agricultural waste properties, adsorption condit...
Although the relative bioavailability (RBA) can be applied to assess the effects of Pb on human health, there is no definition and no specific data of Pb-RBA to different soil sources and endpoints in vivo. In this study, we estimated the Pb-RBA from...
