TL;DR: The ability of crop plants to uptake and accumulate CECs decrease in the order of leafy vegetables > root vegetables > cereals and fodder crops > fruit vegetables, thus providing tools for mitigating the introduction of these contaminants into the food chain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical characterization of biochars showed the production of alkaline materials with similarities and variations in their characteristics, which depend to the type of feedstock used.

TL;DR: Results highlight the importance of managing Cr(VI) levels in irrigation water and the role of proline and GSTs in the adaptation responses.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear regression analysis of the values and trends of both ET and net irrigation requirements (NIR) of those crops consuming most water due to the size of their cultivated area (citrus and potatoes) in a water-scarce region with typical Mediterranean climate, such as Cyprus, analyse possible spatial and temporal variations of these parameters, and discuss implications of this analysis on agricultural water conservation.

TL;DR: Non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks from the consumption of these commodities grown under the conditions described in this study were found de minimis, however, more studies are needed in order to obtain more solid information on the safety of Cr(VI)-contaminated water irrigation.
