Farmland soils in sewage irrigation area at Longkou City were collected, soil pH together with the heavy metal content were tested. Taking 70 soil points as the study object, this paper investigated the source of heavy metals in this area based on the correlation analysis and PCA of multivariate statistical analysis theory. We studied the spatial variation and distribution characteristics about heavy metals using both the theory of geostatistics and GIS spatial interpolation method. At last, the heavy metal pollution was evaluated in the way of Nemerow Index and improved fuzzy evaluation method. It turned out that, 9 kinds of heavy metal elements in the soil of research area had a certain degree of enrichment, among them the average of Cd was 3.06 times as high as the background value, and its enrichment was most severe. The result of Nemerow Index showed that, the values of comprehensive pollution index of Cu, Cd and Pb respectively were 7.06, 6.10 and 5.54, and they all belonged to high levels of pollution. According to the results of correlation analysis and principal component analysis, Cu, Zn together with Pb, Cd were mainly affected by human factors, sewage irrigation was their common pollution factor, the pollution sources for the first two heavy metals included excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural production and the accumulation of long time, whereas pollution from northern coal mining and coal gangue piled up as well as plating, machinery manufacturing and other industrial pollution were the pollution sources of the latter two elements. Other elements (Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and As) were mainly influenced by natural factors such as parent material. Comprehensive evaluation results showed that, among the 70 points, 13 points had moderate pollution,23 points belonged to light pollution, 28 points were at alert level, 6 points were in the safe range. From the perspective of spatial distribution,high value areas of heavy metal contents were mainly concentrated in towns of Zhuyouguan and Xufu. This showed that, sewage irrigation caused a certain degree of heavy metal pollution to local soil.

Limited literature addresses the association between pollution, stress, and obesity, and knowledge synthesis on the associations between these three topics has yet to be made. Two reviewers independently conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection databases to identify studies dealing with the effects of semi-volatile organic compounds, pesticides, conservatives, and heavy metals on the psychosocial stress response and adiposity in humans, animals, and cells. The quality of papers and risk assessment were evaluated with ToxRTool, BEES-C instrument score, SYRCLE's risk of bias tool, and CAMARADES checklist.

Objectives: The data were collected to obtain the complete genome sequence of Pseudarthrobacter sp. NIBRBAC000502770, isolated from the rhizosphere of Sasamorpha in a heavy metal-contaminated coal mine in Hongcheon, Republic of Korea. The objective was to explore the strain's genetic potential for plant growth promotion and heavy metal resistance, particularly arsenate and copper.

The superposition of heavy metals (HMs) from multiple anthropogenic sources in geochemical anomaly areas makes it difficult to discriminate prime sources in atmospheric HMs. This study utilized a combination of microscopic features, positive matrix factorisation, and Pb isotope fingerprints to trace the main sources of HMs bound to total suspended particulates (TSP) at a pollution site (Msoshui: MS) and control site (Lushan: LS) in northwestern Guizhou. The results reveal that the concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cr, As, Cu, Ni, and Zn in the TSP of LS are 3.

Purpose: We hypothesize that distal shunt catheters fully impregnated with barium are more prone to failure compared to distal catheters with only a barium stripe. We sought to evaluate this distinction using a matched case-control study.
Methods: Patient records over an 8-year period were queried for distal shunt revisions for fracture or disconnection (cases).

Background: Heavy metal contamination, particularly from lead (Pb), poses a significant threat to plant agriculture worldwide, adversely affecting growth, physiological functions, and yield. Signalling molecules such as calcium and salicylic acid are known to mitigate various stresses in plants, prompting this study to explore their interaction with Pb stress in wheat.
Methods: A pot experiment was conducted in which wheat grains were primed with either distilled water, 5 mM calcium (Ca), or 0.
