In recent decades, the menace of heavy metals to food security and human health has become a serious concern. Given its status as the primary provider of food globally, significant research has been done to ensure the safe cultivation of rice, particularly concerning the mitigation of heavy metal contamination. Therefore, this article focuses on the effects and poisoning mechanism of heavy metals, primarily cadmium, on rice.

Article Synopsis
- * TMEs are categorized into essential elements (like iron and zinc) necessary for bodily functions and toxic elements (like mercury and lead) that are harmful and have no physiological role, with potential for illness stemming from both categories at high concentrations.
- * Techniques like Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) enhance detection and quantification of TMEs in biological samples, aiding in the diagnosis and management of TME intoxications through a novel approach known as the metal profile.

Polysaccharides are functional foods or drugs that can be used to alleviate heavy metal poisoning by cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic. Industries generate substantial quantities of toxic heavy metal wastes, such as wastewater discharges, paints, electronic waste, batteries, pigments, and plastics, into the environment that pose a risk to human health. Therefore, it is imperative to eliminate accumulated heavy metal ions from the body and the environment.

Article Synopsis
- - The rising global issue of cadmium (Cd) contamination is linked to negative pregnancy effects, including miscarriages, highlighting a need for more thorough research on this topic.
- - This study reviews existing animal models and clinical trials related to Cd-induced miscarriage and explores mechanisms like oxidative stress, inflammation, and placental dysfunction.
- - Potential pharmacological interventions, including melatonin, vitamin C, and vitamin E, are discussed for their roles in reducing the harmful outcomes of Cd exposure during pregnancy.
Neurotoxic effects of heavy metal pollutants in the environment: Focusing on epigenetic mechanisms.

The pollution of heavy metals (HMs) in the environment is a significant global environmental issue, characterized by its extensive distribution, severe contamination, and profound ecological impacts. Excessive exposure to heavy metal pollutants can damage the nervous system. However, the mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity of most heavy metals are not completely understood.
