Identification and Translocation of Potentially Toxic Elements in Sorghum Plants Grown in Central Mexico [PDF]

Toxics
Contamination of agricultural soil by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be caused by volcanic emissions and the use of agrochemicals; this threatens human food security, as PTEs can be transferred from the soil to plant tissues.
