“…However, there was no strong indication of increases in heavy metals found in the N and P fertilised plots, although particularly P fertilisers can be contaminated with Cd (e.g. Louekari et al 2008). Other possibilities include the pH effect; however, a direct effect of lower pH on B fertilised plots would be increased solubility of the metals rather than decreased.…”

Inadequate boron (B) nutrition can affect the structural integrity and chemical composition of plant tissues. The changes in mass and element concentrations were studied using silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) leaf litter from seedlings grown with or without added B (B litter + or B litter −). The litter was produced in a growth room, and it was incubated in either B fertilised or control forest plots (B soil + or B soil −) between the moss and humus layers in two Norway spruce stands for 13 months. Additionally, the field decomposition experiment included longterm N and P application treatments (N soil and P soil ). B litter + somewhat reduced the remaining litter mass. In contrast, B soil + increased it, possibly because of lower soil pH. The +N soil treatment reduced the remaining mass. B litter + increased the remaining P, S, Cu, Cd, Ni and Zn but reduced Pb. Remaining B was high in the B litter -which also accumulated B from soil. B soil increased remaining Ca, Cd, Mg, Na, Pb, and slightly reduced N (in N fertilised plots). These changes in decomposition and element release have a potential to affect nutrient, carbon, and heavymetal cycles in areas where B deficiencies are common, and where B fertilisation is practised.

“…People who are nutritionally marginal with respect to Zn, iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca) are at higher risk of Cd disease than those who are nutritionally adequate. A urinary level of 1–2 µg Cd L −1 is associated with increased risk of bone demineralisation and fracture, and 2–4 µg Cd L −1 with pre‐clinical kidney damage 26…”

Contamination of agricultural soils with trace elements (TEs) through municipal and industrial wastes, atmospheric deposition and fertilisers is a matter of great global concern. Since TE accumulation in edible plant parts depends on soil characteristics, plant genotype and agricultural practices, those soiland plant-specific options that restrict the entry of harmful TEs into the food chain to protect human and animal health are reviewed. Soil options such as in situ stabilisation of TEs in soils, changes in physicochemical parameters, fertiliser management, element interactions and agronomic practices reduce TE uptake by food crops. Furthermore, phytoremediation and solubilisation as alternative techniques to reduce TE concentrations in soils are also discussed. Among plant options, selection of species and cultivars, metabolic processes and microbial transformations in the rhizosphere can potentially affect TE uptake and distribution in plants. For this purpose, genetic variations are exploited to select cultivars with low uptake potential, especially low-cadmium accumulator wheat and rice cultivars. The microbial reduction of elements and transformations in the rhizosphere are other key players in the cycling of TEs that may offer the basis for a wide range of innovative biotechnological processes. It is thus concluded that appropriate combination of soil-and plant-specific options can minimise TE transfer to the food chain.

“…Grupo 4: Cadmium-Cacao-Lead y Grupo 5: Adsorption-Acidity-Aluminum. Metales pesados como el cadmio, aluminio y plomo, han sido ampliamente reconocidos como una gran amenaza para la salud humana (Järup et al, 1998;Louekari et al, 2008). El cadmio, por ejemplo, es uno de los elementos más tóxicos en el medio ambiente (Kaya et al, 2019).…”

The maximum cadmium tolerance standards were established by the European Union in 2014, for the importation of cocoa-based products, causing concern in the countries. Global studies on Theobroma cacao research related to cadmium activity in the atmosphere were analyzed. Bibliometric analyses in R and VOSviewer programs were used to examine 64 documents published in the Scopus database according to keywords. We identified 811 keywords in the co-occurrence of terms, 5 thematic groups in the bibliographic coupling, 20 institutions as most important affiliations, 20 countries of origin of corresponding authors, 112 institutions in co-authorship network of which 5 are in primary documents, and two groups in thematic similarity in co-citation of documents. The United States leads the scientific production with 11 papers, followed by Colombia (8) and Ecuador (7). In 1996, the first scientific article was registered for the network, with increases of up to 11 publications by 2020. In conclusion, the need to strengthen and create more research networks between countries, institutions, authors, and co-authors is evident. It is hoped that the results will allow a comprehensive unraveling of the cadmium-cocoa research trajectory, while at the same time yielding new prospective research.
