Combined effect of copper, cadmium, and lead upon Cucumis sativus growth and bioaccumulation
TLDR
It is indicated that TU approach appears to be a good model to estimate the combined effect of metals in plant systems, and mixture toxicity may be closely-related to the bioaccumulation pattern within plants.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Health risk assessment of heavy metals via dietary intake of foodstuffs from the wastewater irrigated site of a dry tropical area of India
TL;DR: The study suggests that wastewater irrigation led to accumulation of heavy metals in food stuff causing potential health risks to consumers, and heavy metal contamination in the wastewater irrigated site presented a significant threat of negative impact on human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Availability and Assessment of Fixing Additives for The in Situ Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils: A Review
TL;DR: An extensive list of references has been compiled to provide a summary of information on a wide range of potentially amendment resources, including organic, inorganic and combined organic-inorganic materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Pb toxicity on root morphology, physiology and ultrastructure in the two ecotypes of Elsholtzia argyi.
TL;DR: Comparatively better growth, higher tolerance and accumulation of Pb expressed by ME plants is mainly attributed to the maintenance of its root growth and activity as well as integrity of cell organelles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cadmium and lead on growth, biochemical parameters and uptake in Lemna polyrrhiza L.
TL;DR: In this article, Duckweed plants (Lemna polyrrhiza L.) were exposed to different concentrations of Cd and Pb and various physio-biochemical parameters (fresh weight, chlorophyll content, soluble protein, soluble sugars, proline content and metal absorption) were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amelioration of heavy metal and nutrient stress in fruit vegetables by grafting
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview on the prospects and restrictions of grafting as a means to minimize the negative effects of heavy metals, excessive nutrient availability, nutrient deficiency, and alkalinity stress on vegetable crop performance taking into consideration agronomical, physiological and biochemical aspects.

Strategies of heavy metal uptake by three plant species growing near a metal smelter
TL;DR: Investigation of heavy metal uptake and accumulation strategies of two absolute metallophytes and one pseudometallophyte growing near a former metal smelter finds an exclusion strategy by metal immobilisation in roots and a detoxification mechanism by leaf fall is suggested.

TL;DR: Results even demonstrate that dissimilarly acting chemicals can show significant joint effects, predictable by independent action, when combined in concentrations below individual NOEC values, statistically estimated to elicit insignificant individual effects of only 1%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity, growth and accumulation relationships of copper, lead and zinc in the grey mangrove Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh
TL;DR: Lead and ZN in combination resulted in an increased accumulation of both metals in leaf tissue and increased toxicity than individual metals alone, and is the first noted occurrence of a Pb and Zn additive response in angiosperms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil ecotoxicity assessment using cadmium sensitive plants.
TL;DR: In this article, four crop plant species (sweet corn, Zea may; wheat, Triticum aestivum; cucumber, Cucumis sativus; and sorghum, Sorghum bicolor) were tested to assess an ecotoxicity in cadmium-amended soils.
