“…Increasing Zn concentration during second sampling dates within greenhouse soil was noticed to be higher, which were closely related to the pollutants in irrigation water especially during using wastewater directly for irrigation, agricultural soil fertilizers, and used pesticides. These results are in accordance with recent studies (44,22). Although an enrichment of soils with Zn has been reported when these materials were used during long-term repeated additions, after the abandonment of agricultural applications and remaining trace metals in the soil (30).…”

This study was aimed to investigate pesticides bioaccumulation and their soil pollutant effect. The experiment was included sixteen active greenhouses in Erbil plane, and conducted during September 2017 and March 2018. The present study revealed that the pesticides residue of pyridabine, thiamethoxam, abamectin and spirodiclofen were detected in greenhouse soil samples. The values of soil heavy metals contaminations factor (CF) revealed, that the studied greenhouse soil samples were ranged from low to very high contamination, while for pesticides were ranged from non to high contaminated. Soil pollution load index results supported that, the greenhouse soil was contaminated especially by Cr, Ni and Co. Pollution load index (PLI) was ranged from 7.751 to 0.303; supporting that the soils were contaminated in most sites. It could be concluded that, significant need for the development of pollution prevention and scientific strategies to reduce heavy metal pollution and pesticide accumulation residuals within greenhouses in Erbil plane.

“…The BCFs decreased in the following order: Zn (0.5) > Cu (0.43) > Mn (0.35). The BCF of Zn was higher than those of the other metals analyzed, in agreement with the findings of Yang et al (2017) and Xu et al (2013).…”

A low HQ (< 1) suggests that toxic effects are unlikely, whereas a high HQ (> 1) means that the probability that side or toxic effects will occur cannot be excluded (Dor et al 2005).…”

The Joumine Dam located in northern Tunisia has lost more than 20% of its initial storage capacity due to sedimentation, meaning that sediment management is necessary. The sediments at the reservoir bottom act as a sink for nutrients and chemicals originating from the upper agricultural lands and take the form of suspended particles. We proposed that the dredged sediments could be used to amend arid to semiarid soils, as this would partially cover the financial burden of dredging works and reduce the volume of these deposits. However, to check the feasibility of using the sediments as a fertilizer, it was necessary to assess the potential health risks from contaminants in the sediments. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the human health risk (i.e., the hazard quotient, HQ) from heavy metals consumed due to the ingestion of Bromus ramosus (wild oat) grown in soil amended with the Joumine Dam sediments. Plant growth was monitored in macrocosm (amendment rate of 1.17%) and microcosm (amendment rate ≤ 10%) bioassays to elucidate the metal concentrations in roots, stems, leaves, and seeds. Zn, Cu, and Mn concentrations were analyzed in the plants grown in the macrocosm experiments, while the follow-up was only performed for Zn in the plants grown in the microcosm experiments. The human exposure to soil pollutants (HESP) evaluation model was adopted to evaluate the health risk (HQ) to humans through direct and indirect oral exposure to heavy metals in wild oat. At the macrocosm scale, Cu was found to be the main source of risk (HQ = 1.86) to children. At the microcosm scale, utilization of the sediment reduced the mobility and bioavailability of copper in the soil, thus decreasing the potential health risk from this metal. Graphic abstract

“…Thus, assessment of soil heavy metal pollution and the ecological risk in agricultural areas have become increasingly important. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted to assess heavy metal levels and soil quality in vegetable-producing areas [6,7] , farmlands [8][9][10] , production areas of economic crops [11,12] , and wastewater irrigation and mining areas [13,14] .…”

Accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils tends to increase crop uptake of heavy metals, and can adversely impact human health through food chains. This study assessed the heavy metal pollution status and the potential ecological risk of tea plantation soils in southern Shaanxi Province, China. A total of 330 topsoil samples were collected to analyze the concentrations of seven heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Hg, As and Cd) and the pH level. The Hakanson potential ecological risk index was used based on the background levels of soil heavy metals in Shaanxi. Results showed that the averaged concentrations of soil Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Hg, As, and Cd were 10.0, 87.6, 16.4, 12.4, 0.2, 6.9 and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively. Cd and Hg concentrations exceeded level II of China's Soil Environment Quality Standard (GB 15618-2009) in 9.3% and 7.0% of the total samples, respectively. The coefficient of variation ranged from 29.2% to 52.2% for different elements, and was 49.3% for Cd and 48.6% for Hg. The averaged comprehensive potential ecological risk index was 95.4, and the overall potential ecological risk was low, with 82.4% of the total samples at a low level of potential ecological risk. Cd and Hg contributed most to the potential ecological risk (35.5% and 46.5%, respectively), and the risks associated with other elements were relatively minor. This study suggested that soil Cd and Hg pollution should be controlled to ensure the safe production of tea in the study area.
