Urbanization and industrialization have resulted in contamination of soils with heavy metals other pollutants. Nickel (Ni) is one the toxic metals, which adversely affect plant growth by altering different physiological metabolic processes. Mineral nutrients can reduce effects Ni on functions plants, thus improving growth. The role calcium (Ca) to alleviate toxicity rice was investigated. Rice plants were grown (20 40 mg kg −1 ) Ca (80 160 combinations without as a control. (40 significantly...
The increasing use of cerium nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) has made their influx in agroecosystems imminent through air and soil deposition or untreated wastewater irrigation. Another major pollutant associated with anthropogenic activities is Cd, which adverse effects on plants, animals, humans. source the Cd Ce metals human food chain contaminated food, making it an alarming issue; thus, there a need to understand factors that can reduce potential damage these heavy metals.The present...

In this study, impact of silicon (Si) application on wheat performance under drought stress is studied. Experimental soil was sandy clay loam with an average pH 8.01, electrical conductivity (EC) 2.36 dSm−1, and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content 2.16%. Soil severely deficient in organic matter (<1%). Average extractable phosphorus (P) potassium (K) concentration 230 5.21 mg kg−1, respectively. Silicon metasilicate (K2SiO3) applied at the rate 0 12 kg/ha three canal water irrigation...
Increasing levels of heavy metals in soil have become a serious concern for human health because they can be easily transferred into the body through contaminated food web. It is imperative to evaluate pollution levels, origin and ecological risks metals. The geoaccumaualtion (Igeo), contamination factor (CF), load index (PLI) risk were estimated determine Faisalabad, heavily-populated industrialized city Pakistan. maximum CF (1.58) PLI (1.22) values Cd Pb, respectively, Igeo (−0.19) value...
Potentially toxic elements and particulate matter (PM) in the ecosystem are regarded as extremely hazardous because of their persistence, toxicity bioaccumulative characteristics. Therefore, present study was conducted to estimate ecological human health risks potentially (Cu, Mn, Pb, Cd Ni) particle pollution (TSP, PM10 PM2.5) at 2 60 m roadside distance from 15 different sites dust polluted megacity Pakistan. The AQI assessments suggested that majority were found unhealthy for sensitive...
Irrigation with untreated effluent in periurban agriculture could result accumulation and bioconcentrations of cadmium (Cd) lead (Pb). Different amendments were used to investigate their effect on availability, concentration, uptake metals by wheat texturally different soils. Crop was irrigated water containing Cd Pb at 20 mg L−1, thereby adding 260 pot−1 each metal. Amendments included calcium carbonate 6 or 12%, gypsum 50 100% the soil requirement, farm manure 7.50 15.00 g kg−1 soil, a...

Continuous irrigation of soils with untreated effluents can result in the accumulation and translocation some metals plants. Application farmyard manure (FYM) to such may increase or decrease their availability retention time. Calcareous contaminated 100, 200, 400mg kg–1 Ni, Zn, Pb as chloride salts were used, added (40g for 90 days) moisture contents at field capacity. Soil samples drawn 30 day intervals, extracted (AB-DTPA) C14H23NO3O10. With FYM application 400 mg kg–1, Ni increased from...
Lead is getting more and alarming because of its toxicity destructive effects on plants, animals, human health. The higher lead uptake by plants deteriorate the consistency in growth yield crops. However, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) interacting with organic matter could be a practical approach to ameliorate Pb toxicity. Therefore, current study was planned investigate combined effect PGPR growth, physiology, sunflower polluted soil. For this purpose, soil contaminated (600 mg...
Drinking water contamination by arsenic (As) is of significant concern due to its potential cause cancer and arsenicosis. In this study, out the 200 samples (n = 200), mean As concentrations ranged from below detection limit (BDL) 3.30, 4.81, 4.42 3.85 µg L−1 in small residential, roadside, industrial household areas, respectively. From total samples, 9% groundwater showed levels higher than WHO safe guideline 10 μg L−1. Human health risk was assessed using average daily intake (ADD), hazard...
