Article Synopsis
- A collaborative assessment approach was utilized to identify priority metal pollutants and evaluate contamination in the plastic-shed soil (PSS)-vegetable system in the industrial towns of the Yangtze River Delta, China.
- The study found significant increases in chromium (Cr) and pollution from cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu), primarily due to industrial wastewater irrigation.
- Using different indices, it was determined that Cu and Cd were the main pollutants in the soil, while Cr and Cd were prominent in vegetables, with a notable percentage of sampling sites exhibiting moderate to heavy contamination, highlighting the need for focused pollution management.
Growing concern has been paid to metals in soil-strawberry system. In contrast, few attempts have been made to investigate bioaccessible metals in strawberries and further assess health risk based on bioaccessible metals. Moreover, the connections between soil parameters (e.

Therefore, we aimed to clarify whether combined amendments of HAP and another low-cost material (hydrated lime, corn straw-derived biochar, or zeolite) with reduced application rate of each single amendment could significantly decrease Cd transfer in soil-celery-human system without side effect on celery growth through a pot experiment. Results revealed that adding biochar, HAP, zeolite, or combined amendments had no obvious side effect on celery growth, while adding 0.
