Health risk assessment of heavy metal accumulation in fruits exposed to geothermal waters: a case study and global implications

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study investigated the potential health risks of heavy metals (HMs) in the fruits and leaves of mulberry and sour cherry trees exposed to water from Sivas geothermal basin (Turkey). RESULTS The target HMs were ranked according to their hazard index as: Cd < Pb < Zn < Cu < Ni < Mn < Cr. The total hazard index for mulberry

Arsenic mobilization in the aquifers of three physiographic settings of West Bengal, India: Understanding geogenic and anthropogenic influences

, 2013
A comparative hydrogeochemical study was carried out in West Bengal, India covering three physiographic regions, Debagram and Chakdaha located in the Bhagirathi-Hooghly alluvial plain and Baruipur in the delta front, to demonstrate the control of ...

Phylogenetic Structure and Metabolic Properties of Microbial Communities in Arsenic-Rich Waters of Geothermal Origin

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Arsenic (As) is a toxic element released in aquatic environments by geogenic processes or anthropic activities. To counteract its toxicity, several microorganisms have developed mechanisms to tolerate and utilize it for respiratory metabolism.

Multiple factors regulate resource use efficiency of Bothriochloa ischaemum‐dominated community in arid and semi‐arid regions

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Classical resource use efficiency (RUE) primarily quantifies productivity relative to resource uptake fluxes, while the capacity of long‐term soil resource pools to sustain ecosystem productivity remains understudied. We evaluated three ecosystem‐scale RUE indices (RUEC, RUEN, and RUEP) representing net primary productivity per unit soil organic carbon,

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant performance in trace element‐contaminated soils with element‐specific accumulation patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil contamination by toxic trace elements is a growing global challenge that threatens food safety, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health. We combined results from many experiments worldwide to assess whether beneficial soil fungi can help plants cope with contaminated soils.

Geogenic CO2 affects inorganic soil properties and the composition of soil organic matter in physical fractions

, 2018
The presence of geogenic CO2 has been recently identified as a soil-forming factor in soil on mofette sites. Topsoil samples (with a maximum CO2 concentration of 52% at 10 cm depth) were studied along a transect on a mofette site in the NW Czech ...

Putting geogenic contamination on the map [PDF]

, 2011
Arsenic and fluoride occurring as natural (geogenic) contaminants in groundwater threaten the health of millions of people. A Web-based GIS application will not only raise awareness of this issue but also help policymakers to identify areas at risk of ...

An Exercise‐Pollution Exposure Index for Assessing Inhaled Heavy Metal Exposure Along Urban Walking Routes

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban walking routes are promoted as health‐supportive environments, yet they may also act as microenvironments of pollutant exposure during physical activity. This study evaluated heavy metal exposure along urban walking routes by integrating road dust metal concentrations, conventional health risk assessment, deposited inhalation dose, and ...

Effect of Geogenic Lead on Fungal and Collembolan Communities in Garden Topsoil

, 2018
Geogenic lead (Pb) is considered to be less bioavailable than anthropogenic Pb and exerts less effect on the soil fauna. However, Pb contamination in vegetables has been reported in the case of geogenic anomalies, even at moderate concentrations (around ...
