Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on establishing ecological risk thresholds for arsenic (As) to improve soil conservation strategies, addressing the lack of specific thresholds related to various soil properties.
- By compiling existing data and conducting experimental studies on barley-root elongation, the research identifies key factors affecting As toxicity in different soil types, finding that manganese/iron oxides and clay content are significant predictors.
- Using a machine-learning approach, the study calculates hazardous concentrations for arsenic across different soil types, providing evidence-based guidelines for managing soil contamination by As.
The accumulation of antimony (Sb) in plants and its potential effects on human health are of increasing concern. Nevertheless, only a few countries or regions have established soil Sb thresholds for agricultural purposes, and soil properties have not been taken into account. This study investigated the accumulation of Sb in the edible parts of pakchoi and wheat grain by adding exogenous Sb to 21 soils with varying properties.

At present, only some noble-metal oxide materials (IrO and RuO ) have been reported as efficient OER electrocatalysts for OER. However, the high cost and scarcity of these noble-metal oxide materials greatly hamper their large-scale practical application.
