  • Although Singh et al. (2012) revealed no specific absorption mechanism for Cr, it is possible that the decreased accumulation of Cr, Ni, and Pb in crops' edible sections is attributable to their toxicity.

    “Although Singh et al. (2012) revealed no specific absorption mechanism for Cr, it is possible that the decreased accumulation of Cr, Ni, and Pb in crops' edible sections is attributable to their toxicity”

    From Assessment of heavy metals accumulation by vegetables irrigated with different stages of textile wastewater for evaluation of food and health risk (2024) · cites this paper as Affum et al., 2020

    The Discussion (page unavailable) reports Singh et al. (2012) as saying vegetable crops have no specific uptake mechanism for Cr. The Results section on metal accumulation (page unavailable) suggests the low bioconcentration factors for Cr and Ni may be due to their toxicity, but the paper does not include Pb in that finding.

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.
