Sources of Soil Pollution by Heavy Metals and Their Accumulation in Vegetables: a Review
Open accessAbstract
The presence of heavy metals in food is a threat to human health. Exposure to heavy metals as a result of consumption of contaminated vegetables, as well as their toxicity, is a serious problem. Different branches of industry and the road traffic have a significant impact on environmental pollution with heavy metals. Municipal and industrial sewage also is an important source of those substances. Furthermore, the mineral content of vegetables depends on factors such as the natural content of trace elements in the environment, their levels in mineral fertilizers, and fertilizer doses. In the soil, a natural source of these metals is bedrock. In soils used for agricultural purposes, some quantities of metals are introduced together with fertilizers, both organic and mineral. Additionally, another sources of the metals are plant protection products. Heavy metal dynamics in the soil and their uptake by plants are influenced by soil properties, which play a key role in the bioavailability of these metals. Metal mobility and assimilation are also influenced by the addition of organic and inorganic matter. A significant body of evidence also suggest that the age of the soil plays an important role in modulation of metal bioavailability to plants. Apart from being influenced by the soil-related factors, absorption of metals differs in different types of plants. A significant variation in metal concentrations was also found depending on their location in plant tissues, on plant species, or even on varieties of the same species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
