Effects of combined amendments on heavy metal accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) planted on contaminated paddy soil.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LS and HZ could be effective in reducing heavy metal bioavailability and accumulation in rice grown on multi-metal-contaminated soils through toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP).

Effects of natural and calcined oyster shells on Cd and Pb immobilization in contaminated soils

TL;DR: In this paper, oyster shell waste was used as a soil stabilizer to immobilize cadmium (Cd)- and lead (Pb)-contaminated soils typical of those commonly found adjacent to abandoned mines.

Estimation of Cd, Pb, and Zn Bioavailability in Smelter-Contaminated Soils by a Sequential Extraction Procedure

TL;DR: The relationship between metal fractionation and methods used to estimate bioavailability of these metal contaminants in soil was evaluated in this paper, where the Potentially BioAvailable Sequential Extraction (PBASE) method was used for Cd, Pb, and Zn fractionation in 12 soils contaminated from Pb and zinc mining and smelting activities, and the results showed that metal bioavailability for two human exposure pathways, plant uptake (phytoavailability) and incidental ingestion (gastrointestinal, Gl, availability), was estimated using a lettuce (Lactuca sativa

In situ field-scale remediation of Cd polluted paddy soil using sepiolite and palygorskite

TL;DR: In this article, in situ immobilization field experiments were conducted by planting rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Cd contaminated paddy soil to determine the optimal remediation mode that would reduce the accumulation of Cd in brown grain.
