“…Various food inspection/detection techniques have been reported, including electrochemical strategies to detect gallic acid in food (Badea et al 2019), thermal imaging technique coupled with chemometrics (Mohd Ali et al 2020), paper-based analysis device for rapid food safety detection (Qi et al 2020), linescan spatially offset Raman spectroscopy technique for subsurface inspection of food (Qin et al 2017), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for detection of mycotoxins in food (Wu et al 2021b), chromatography, and mass spectrometry (Pauk et al 2021;Suman et al 2021). In addition, heavy metal pollution has posed great threats on food safety, and a lot of studies are conducted, including the soil heavy metal pollution and food safety (Qin et al 2021) and the impacts of various heavy metals (e.g., cadmium, lead, arsenic) on food safety and human health (Corguinha et al 2015;Suhani et al 2021). Furthermore, there are a variety of food additives used in different situations.…”

“…For example, Qin et al (2021) reviewed the effects of heavy metals in soil on food safety in China and discussed the sources (e.g., pesticides, fertilizers, vehicle emissions, coal combustion, sewage irrigation, mining) and remediation strategies (e.g., soil amendments, phytoremediation, foliar sprays). Suhani et al (Suhani et al 2021) reviewed the effects of cadmium pollution on food safety and human health with a focus on the mechanisms (e.g., cellular or molecular alterations). Deshwal et al (Deshwal and Panjagari 2020) reviewed the effects of metal-based packaging materials on food safety and health issues (e.g., bisphenol A migration, metal migration, dissolution, blackening, and corrosion).…”

Environment protection and food safety are two critical issues in the world. In this review, a novel approach which integrates statistical study and subjective discussion was adopted to review recent advances on environment and food safety. Firstly, a scientometric-based statistical study was conducted based on 4904 publications collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. It was found that the research on environment and food safety was growing steadily from 2001 to 2020. Interestingly, the statistical analysis of most-cited papers, titles, abstracts, keywords, and research areas revealed that the research on environment and food safety was diverse and multidisciplinary. In addition to the scientometric study, strategies to protect environment and ensure food safety were critically discussed, followed by a discussion on the emerging research topics, including emerging contaminates (e.g., microplastics), rapid detection of contaminants (e.g., biosensors), and environment friendly food packaging materials (e.g., biodegradable polymers). Finally, current challenges and future research directions were proposed. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11356-021-16069-6.

Introduction: Farmers apply pesticides to control pests on vegetable farming in Semarang regency. One of the active ingredients of pesticides is cadmium (Cd), and exposure to cadmium in humans can interfere with kidney function. High exposure to Cd may cause the effects of chronic kidney failure. If there are a lot of free Cd ions in the body, the ability of the kidneys to produce metallothionein will be reduced. Thus, it may damage the kidney tubules as it results in high levels of urinary Cd which can be toxic. This study aimed to analyze an association between the levels of urinary Cd and impaired kidney function in farmers. Methods: This study was analytic observational and used design a cross-sectional study design. The population in this study was all farmers as many as 406 people in Gintungan village, Bandungan district, Semarang regency. There were 60 people selected as samples through purposive sampling. Results and Discussion: The level of urinary Cd in farmers on average was 0.958 µg/L with a standard deviation of 0.570 µg/L. The highest level of Cd was 5.390 µg/L and the lowest was < 0.100 µg/L. The results of the statistical chi-square test showed there was an association between levels of urinary Cd and impaired kidney function (p = 0.041). Conclusion: Impaired kidney function in farmers in Gintungan might be caused by the level of urinary Cd. Further research should measure creatinine in the blood to ensure a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate in the kidneys of the farmers.

“…Heavy metals, i.e., (semi-)metallic elements with an atomic density > 5 g•cm −3 [2], have been considered as one of the major types of pollutants [3,4]. Nowadays, the soil has been heavily contaminated by heavy metals, generating serious threats to food safety [5,6] and human health [2,7]. Among various heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential element and can be naturally found in the earth's crust at low concentrations [7].…”

“…Nowadays, the soil has been heavily contaminated by heavy metals, generating serious threats to food safety [5,6] and human health [2,7]. Among various heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential element and can be naturally found in the earth's crust at low concentrations [7]. In addition to some natural processes (e.g., rock weathering and volcanic eruptions), the major sources of Cd contamination in topsoil originate from anthropogenic activities, including phosphate fertilizer applications, industrial waste disposal, fossil fuel combustions, and sewage sludge amendments [4,8,9].…”

Trophic Transfer without Biomagnification of Cadmium in a Soybean-Dodder Parasitic System

Cadmium (Cd) is among the most available and most toxic heavy metals taken up by plants from soil. Compared to the classic plant-animal food chains, the host-parasitic plant food chains have, thus far, been largely overlooked in the studies of Cd trophic transfer. To investigate the pattern of Cd transfer during the infection of parasitic plants on Cd-contaminated hosts, we conducted a controlled experiment that grew soybeans parasitized by Chinese dodders (Cuscuta chinensis) in soil with different levels of Cd treatment, and examined the concentration, accumulation, allocation and transfer coefficients of Cd within this parasitic system. Results showed that among all components, dodders accounted for more than 40% biomass of the whole system but had the lowest Cd concentration and accumulated the least amount of Cd. The transfer coefficient of Cd between soybean stems and dodders was much lower than 1, and was also significantly lower than that between soybean stems and soybean leaves. All these features were continuously strengthened with the increase of Cd treatment levels. The results suggested no evidence of Cd biomagnification in dodders parasitizing Cd-contaminated hosts, and implied that the Cd transfer from hosts to dodders may be a selective process.
