Recycling of polluted dredged sediment - Building new materials for plant growing.

The worldwide concern is caused by a large quantity of dredged sediment. The issue becomes more severe when contaminated sediment has to be landfilled. Therefore, researchers involved in the dredged sediment management are increasingly motivated to improve circularity in sediment management processes.

Breaking the myth of healthy food production in rural areas: cases studied in Vojvodina Province (Serbia).

The aim of the present study was to analyze the chemical composition of parsley, parsnip, carrot, and celeriac cultivated at different localities (urban, or suburban/village). The concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium, nickel, chromium) and essential elements (potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus) in edible plant parts were determined. Human health risks associated with chronic consumption of potentially contaminated vegetables were assessed through the use of hazard quotients.

Should I GROW or should I SLOW: A meta-analysis of fast-growing tree-species grown in cadmium perturbed environment.

Variations in soil chemical composition may lead to disturbances in plant growth and survival. Which strategies of biomass allocation fast-growing species acquire to overcome the disturbances in the rhizosphere remains an open research challenge. We conducted a series of greenhouse pot experiments to collect enough experimental evidence to elucidate the answer.

Roots of and -Insight into Phenolic Status against Toxicity Level of Trace Elements.

Celery ( L.) and parsley ( (Mill.) Fuss) are herbs utilized in the everyday diet as spices and culinary flavorings, often used in the chemical and medicinal industries.

Health assessment of medicinal herbs, celery and parsley related to cadmium soil pollution-potentially toxic elements (PTEs) accumulation, tolerance capacity and antioxidative response.

Celery and parsley are recognized as medicinal herbs and nutraceutical vegetables due to their valuable pharmacological properties and numerous health benefits. However, in recent years, soil loadings with various PTEs have become a serious concern across the world, leading to plants pollution, which can consequently diminish their quality and safety for human consumption. Therefore, we attempted to quantify quality and safety of celery and parsley grown in Cd polluted soil.
