Journal ArticleDOI

A critical review of selenium biogeochemical behavior in soil-plant system with an inference to human health.

TL;DR: This review traces a plausible link among Se levels, sources, speciation, bioavailability, and effect of soil chemical properties on selenium bioavailability/speciation in soil; role of different protein transporters in soil-root-shoot transfer of Se; and the potential role of Se in different human disorders/diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Review of Environmental Contamination and Health Risk Assessment of Wastewater Use for Crop Irrigation with a Focus on Low and High-Income Countries.

TL;DR: This review highlights the harmful and beneficial impacts of wastewater irrigation on the physical, biological, and chemical properties of soil and delineates the potentially toxic element (PTEs) build up in the soil and, as such, their transfer into plants and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical review of mercury speciation, bioavailability, toxicity and detoxification in soil-plant environment: ecotoxicology and health risk assessment

TL;DR: A plausible link among Hg levels, its chemical speciation and phytoavailability in soil, accumulation in plants, phytotoxicity and detoxification of Hg inside the plant is traced and well summarized and up-to-date data are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copper uptake, essentiality, toxicity, detoxification and risk assessment in soil-plant environment

TL;DR: This review critically highlights the latest understanding of (i) Cu adsorption/desorption in soil, (ii) accumulation in plants, (iii) phytotoxicity, (iv) tolerance mechanisms inside plants and (v) health risk assessment.
