Plantago subulata as indicator of potentially toxic elements in the substrate

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021
Plantago subulata is a facultative serpentinophyte, with predominantly ultramafic distribution in Serbia and Montenegro. The plant samples were collected from ultramafic and non-ultramafic substrate, including two abandoned mining sites, with the aim to assess the accumulation potential of this species.

Role of Potentially Toxic Elements in Soils

2018
There are numerous sources of toxic elements in soils. In naturally occurring soils they can accumulate during weathering of rocks. Background concentrations in soils are thus determined by the concentrations in the underlying parent materials. Most toxic elements in soils exhibit strong adsorption by clays.

Potentially toxic elements, pollution and hair

2011
Heavy metals (HMs) are potentially toxic elements (PTEs) considered to be among the most dangerous and damaging polluting substances. However, at the trace level, many of these may be necessary to living systems. Exposure to PTEs is a well-known problem in industrialized countries.

Quantification of Selected Toxic and Potentially Toxic Elements in Vegetables, and Health Risk Assessment

2020
Vegetables play an important role in human nutrition and their importance in diet is determined by its chemical composition. Numerous studies indicate a high degree of contamination of soil and plants produced in certain agro-ecological conditions, especially near urban and industrial areas.

Bioaccumulation of potentially toxic elements in fish species of Serbia: a review

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
In the first review of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in fish in water ecosystems in Serbia, 40 studies related to fish contamination with PTEs were identified and evaluated. Studies of concentrations of PTEs in fish tissues covered 28 ecosystems (108 localities).

Contaminating Elements in Mineral Supplements and their Potential Toxicity: a Review

Journal of Animal Science, 1977
Some 14 mineral elements are supplied as dietary supplements to domestic animals in various feeding situations. These are obtained primarily from ores and industrial processes and few are supplied as pure compounds. Some of the contaminating elements that occur with the desired elements may have a positive value.

Distribution and origin of potentially toxic elements in a multi-aquifer system

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020
Pollution of the potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is a major concern in the metal ore-mining environment. Active polymetallic industries and mines cause great continuous devastation of both terrestrial and aquatic environments on a local and regional scale.

Potentially toxic elements in the Gusinoye Lake (Republic of Buryatia, Russia)

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022
Enterprises of fuel and energy complex are the main sources of carcinogenic and mutagenic potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Their particulate and gaseous emissions, wastes, and effluents enforce migration processes of PTEs in atmosphere, soil, and then in water bodies, creating a danger to the functioning of aquatic ecosystems.

Potentially Toxic Elements in Drinking Water in Alphabetical Order

2014
Most toxic elements in drinking water are regulated by WHO and EU. Elevated levels of aluminum in drinking water are suspected to be related to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease; arsenic is linked to skin disorders and lung cancers. Cadmium may cause renal effects.
