Assessment of heavy metal pollution from anthropogenic activities and remediation strategies: A review.
TL;DR: The concentration of heavy metals in several sites, assessed in water, soil and sediment samples, affected by different pollution sources are reviewed, showing how human activities impact natural media and how the pollution spreads.

Heavy metals contamination in vegetables grown in urban and metal smelter contaminated sites in Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the source and magnitude of heavy metal contamination in soil and vegetable samples at 46 sites across four vegetable growing regions in New South Wales, Australia, including Boolaroo, Port Kembla, Cowra and Sydney Basin.

Janae Csavina,Jason P. Field,Mark Patrick Taylor,Song Gao,Andrea C. Landázuri,Eric A. Betterton,A. Eduardo Sáez +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that mining operations play an important but underappreciated role in the generation of contaminated atmospheric dust and aerosol and the transport of metal and metalloid contaminants, and highlight the need for further research in this area.

Source identification of heavy metals in pastureland by multivariate analysis in NW Spain.
TL;DR: Arable layer of pastureland in Galicia (NW Spain) was monitored for total content of heavy metals, and analysed by multivariate statistical techniques, in order to investigate the different origin that metals may have in pasture soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium and zinc interactions and their transfer in soil-crop system under actual field conditions
TL;DR: The effects of the two metals were synergistic to each other under field conditions, in which increasing Cd and Zn contents in soils could increase the accumulations of Zn or Cd in the two crops.
