Ahmed Alengebawy,Sara Taha Abdelkhalek,Sara Taha Abdelkhalek,Sundas Rana Qureshi,Man-Qun Wang +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review focusing on the toxic effect of heavy metals (cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn)) and pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides) adversely influencing the agricultural ecosystem (plant and soil) and human health is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on bioremediation approach for heavy metal detoxification and accumulation in plants.
TL;DR: A review comprehensively discusses the toxicity effect of heavy metals on the environment and different phytoremediation mechanisms for the transport and accumulation of toxic heavy metals from polluted soil as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of different bio and nanosensors employed for monitoring agricultural ecosystems and also highlight the factor affecting their implementation from proof-of-concept to the commercialization stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing phytoremediation of soils polluted with heavy metals.
TL;DR: In this paper, various techniques have been proposed to intensify and accelerate the phytoremediation of heavy metals in the soil by changing the conditions in the rhizosphere area to favor heavy metals extraction and the transport in the roots and their translocation towards the aerial parts of the plant.

Free radicals, metals and antioxidants in oxidative stress-induced cancer
TL;DR: This review examines the evidence for involvement of the oxidative stress in the carcinogenesis process and the role of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in the process of carcinogenesis as well as the antioxidant interactions with various regulatory factors.

Heavy metal toxicity and the environment.
TL;DR: This review provides an analysis of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury's environmental occurrence, production and use, potential for human exposure, and molecular mechanisms of toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of metals: mechanisms, molecular targets and applications
TL;DR: The chemical and toxicological principles that underlie the antimicrobial activity of metals are described and the preferences of metal atoms for specific microbial targets are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of heavy metals to microorganisms and microbial processes in agricultural soils: a review.
TL;DR: In this article, a hypothesis is formulated to explain how microorganisms may become affected by gradually increasing soil metal concentrations and this is discussed in relation to defining safe or critical soil metal loadings for soil protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromium toxicity in plants.
TL;DR: The potential of plants with the capacity to accumulate or to stabilize Cr compounds for bioremediation of Cr contamination has gained interest in recent years.
