Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing potential risk of heavy metal exposure from consumption of home-produced vegetables by urban populations.
Rupert Hough,Neil Breward,Scott D. Young,Neil M.J. Crout,Andrew Tye,Ann M Moir,Iain Thornton +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that food grown on 92% of the urban area presented minimal risk to the average person subgroup, however, more vulnerable population subgroups (highly exposed person and the highly exposed infant) were subject to hazard index values greater than unity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent
Diriba B. Kumssa,Edward J. M. Joy,E. Louise Ander,Michael J. Watts,Scott D. Young,Sue Walker,Martin R. Broadley +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that continuing to reduce Ca and Zn deficiency risks through dietary diversification and food and agricultural interventions including fortification, crop breeding and use of micronutrient fertilisers will remain a significant challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological evidence for a high-affinity cadmium transporter highly expressed in a Thlaspi caerulescens ecotype
TL;DR: There is strong physiological evidence for a high-affinity, highly expressed Cd transporter in the root cell plasma membranes of the Ganges ecotype of T. caerulescens, raising evolutionary questions about specific transporters for non-essential metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium biofortification of high-yielding winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by liquid or granular Se fertilisation
Martin R. Broadley,John Alcock,James Alford,Paul Cartwright,Ian Foot,Susan J. Fairweather-Tait,David J. Hart,Rachel Hurst,Peter Knott,Steve P. McGrath,Mark C. Meacham,Keith Norman,Hugh Mowat,Peter Scott,Jacqueline L. Stroud,Matthew Tovey,M. Tucker,Philip J. White,Scott D. Young,Fang-Jie Zhao +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential for increasing grain Se concentration in a high-yielding UK wheat crop using fertilisers was determined under standard field conditions in two consecutive years at up to 10 sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing risk to human health from tropical leafy vegetables grown on contaminated urban soils
TL;DR: It was apparent that urban cultivation of leafy vegetables could be safely pursued on most sites, subject to site-specific assessment of soil metal burden, judicious choice of vegetable types and adoption of washing in clean water prior to cooking.
