“…In particular, As, Cd, Pb, Cr, and mercury (Hg) are among the most toxic heavy metals with respect to their potential toxicity and exposure to living organisms. Goix et al [2] evaluated ecotoxicity, human bioaccessibility, cytotoxicity, and oxidative potential of heavy metals emitted into the atmosphere and reported following order of the hazard classification:…”

“…Mineral resources correspond to important material base for socio-economic progress. Notwithstanding, the significance of mineral resources, extraction and use of mineral in different industrial processes have inflicted serious environmental dilemma, especially in term of environmental heavy metal pollution [1][2][3]. The occurrence of high levels of heavy metals in the environment is a potential threat to human health and the ecosystems [4][5][6], owing to their toxicity, tendency to bioaccumulate and very high persistence in the ecosystem [1,[4][5][6][7].…”

Anthropologic activities have transformed global biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals by emitting considerable quantities of these metals into the atmosphere from diverse sources. In spite of substantial and progressive developments in industrial processes and techniques to reduce environmental emissions, atmospheric contamination by toxic heavy metals and associated ecological and health risks are still newsworthy. Atmospheric heavy metals may be absorbed via foliar organs of plants after wet or dry deposition of atmospheric fallouts on plant canopy. Unlike root metal transfer, which has been largely studied, little is known about heavy metal uptake by plant leaves from the atmosphere. To the best of our understanding, significant research gaps exist regarding foliar heavy metal uptake. This is the first review regarding biogeochemical behaviour of heavy metals in atmosphere-plant system. The review summarizes the mechanisms involved in foliar heavy metal uptake, transfer, compartmentation, toxicity and in plant detoxification. We have described the biological and environmental factors that affect foliar uptake of heavy metals and compared the biogeochemical behaviour (uptake, translocation, compartmentation, toxicity and detoxification) of heavy metals for root and foliar uptake. The possible health risks associated with the consumption of heavy metal-laced food are also discussed.

“…Several sources of pollution such as cement factories, battery recycling factories, industries, agriculture, and road traffic can be major causes of environmental contamination by TME in the areas where large cassava crops are grown (Kalafatoğlu et al 2001;El-Abssay and Hassanien 2011;Schreck et al 2011;Goix et al 2015;Austruy et al 2016). Actually, lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and antimony are (eco)toxic TME currently observed in the environment worldwide (Shahid et al 2015a).…”

Due to its high adaptability, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the world's most cultivated and consumed plants after maize and rice. However, there are relatively few scientific studies on this important crop. The objective of this review was therefore to summarize and discuss the available information on cassava cropping in order to promote sustainable practices in terms of production and consumption. Cassava cultivation has been expanding recently at the global scale and is widely consumed in most regions of South America, Africa, and Asia. However, it is also characterized by the presence in its roots of potentially toxic hydrocyanic acid. Furthermore, cassava can also absorb pollutants as it is currently cultivated near roads or factories and generally without consideration for potential sources of soil, water, or atmospheric pollution. Careful washing, peeling, and adequate preparation before eating are therefore crucial steps for reducing human exposure to both environmental pollutants and natural hydrocyanic acid. At present, there is not enough precise data available on this staple food crop. To improve our knowledge on the nutritive benefits versus health risks associated with cassava consumption, further research is necessary to compare cassava cultivars and precisely study the influence of preparation methods.

“…Several environmental and ecotoxicological studies have used these invertebrates as bioindicators of heavy metal levels in soil in contaminated areas, providing data for the assessment of environmental risk (e.g. Kennette et al, 2002;Nahmani et al, 2007;Suthar et al, 2008;Goix et al, 2015). Furthermore, chemical analysis of earthworms may provide an indication of bioavailable amounts of heavy metals (Maleri et al, 2008;Ruiz et al, 2011).…”
