TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current status of technology deployment and recommendations for future remediation research is presented. And the authors also elucidate and compare the available technologies that are currently being applied for remediation of heavy metal(loid) contaminated soils, as well as the economic aspect of soil remediation for different techniques.
792 citations
TL;DR: There is a dire need to monitor biogeochemical behavior of Cr in soil-plant system, as Chromium induces phytotoxicity by interfering plant growth, nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, inducing enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species, causing lipid peroxidation and altering the antioxidant activities.
671 citations
TL;DR: This is the first review regarding biogeochemical behaviour of heavy metals in atmosphere-plant system and summarizes the mechanisms involved in foliar heavy metal uptake, transfer, compartmentation, toxicity and in plant detoxification.
654 citations
TL;DR: This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to 2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact on the ecosystem.
Abstract: This review summarizes the findings of the most recent studies, published from 2000 to 2016, which focus on the biogeochemical behavior of Cd in soil-plant systems and its impact on the ecosystem. For animals and people not subjected to a Cd-contaminated environment, consumption of Cd contaminated food (vegetables, cereals, pulses and legumes) is the main source of Cd exposure. As Cd does not have any known biological function, and can further cause serious deleterious effects both in plants and mammalian consumers, cycling of Cd within the soil-plant system is of high global relevance.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive assessment indicates that chemical stabilization serves as a temporary soil remediation technique, phytoremediation needs improvement in efficiency, surface capping and landfilling are applicable to small, serious-contamination sites, while solidification and vitrification are the last remediation option.
966 citations
TL;DR: This review focuses on and describes heavy metal contamination in soil-food crop subsystems with respect to human health risks, and explores the possible geographical pathways of heavy metals in such subsystems.
952 citations

And the authors also elucidate and compare the available technologies that are currently being applied for remediation of heavy metal(loid) contaminated soils, as well as the economic aspect of soil remediation for different techniques.
792 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a review of different treatment methods for removing heavy metals from the aquatic environment with a different degree of success has been presented, and the distinctive sorts of treatment strategies for the removal of the toxic metals from wastewater had been explained.
