Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Jul 12, 2025
Lead exposure poses substantial long-term health risks, accounting for over 900,000 annual deaths worldwide and impairing cognitive development in more than 800 million children. Recent studies have indicated elevated soil lead contamination levels o...
PER: and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a significant environmental and human health risk due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, mobility, and toxicity. Current PFAS source-allocation methods often demand data on many compounds while over...

In China, the co-contamination of soil with cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) is one of the most severe forms of combined pollution. Modeling the transfer of Cd and As from co-contaminated soil to crops has not been thoroughly studied. In this study, fiv...
Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a significant global concern in soil systems. The spatial risk of MPs in soils, the cascading effects of climate, human activities, and air quality, and the ecosystem gradients from natural habitats, agricultura...

The introduction of rare earth elements (REEs) and precious metals (PMs) containing wastes in aged landfills leads to a significant pollutant and resource potential. Against this backdrop, the accumulation of REEs and PMs in soil-like-fractions (SLF)...
Global industrialization has resulted in severe contamination of soil with heavy metals (HMs). Nevertheless, it is unclear if it affects the depth-resolved bacterial communities. Herein, we collected soil samples at different depths from a typical HM...
This study aims to evaluate the adequacy of China's national standards for heavy metals in organic fertilizers by predicting their concentrations in grains using machine leaning. A comprehensive dataset was collected from literature, including soil p...
Environmental monitoring and assessment
