TLDR
Taking into account the yield of and metal concentrations in the radish and corn plants and the contamination risks in soil, it is recommended that the continuous safe application period at an application of 7.5 t ha-1 year-1 of biochar should not exceed 15 years, and that of its precursor sewage sludge should not exceeding 17 years.

Effect of sewage sludge biochar on the soil nutrient, microbial abundance, and plant biomass: A sustainable approach towards mitigation of solid waste

- 01 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the SS biochar was synthesized via pyrolysis and characterized by SEM and FTIR for studying surface images and chemical functional groups, and the biochar upon addition with soil was studied for physiological parameters of plants like seed germination index, root length, shoot length, biomass, metal (loid) analysis of soil, SS and SS Biochar, total organic content, C: N ratio, NPK values, etc.

Problems in the assessment of heavy-metal levels in estuaries and the formation of a pollution index

TL;DR: The concept of a baseline is fundamental to the formation of a Biological Quality Index and Pollution Load Index, and a formula for such an index is suggested and tested at a preliminary level against published data for an English and a European estuary as discussed by the authors.

Health risk from heavy metals via consumption of food crops in the vicinity of Dabaoshan mine, South China.

TL;DR: Estimated daily intake (EDI) and THQs for Cd and Pb of rice and vegetables exceeded the FAO/WHO permissible limit and bio-accumulation factors of heavy metals were significantly higher for leafy than for non-leafy vegetable.
