Comparative assessment of phytoavailable cadmium by using various extractants in texturally different contaminated soils during the growth of maize crop
Mujahid Ali
Abstract:Phytoavailable cadmium (Cd) refers to the fraction of total cadmium in soil that is easily taken up by plants, which degrades the environmental quality and can cause contamination in the food chain. Cd contamination causes high carcinogenicity and toxicities, which harm both the environment and human health, including damage to the kidneys, bones, and respiratory system. In this study, seven extracting agents like ammonium bicarbonate diethylene triamine penta acetic acid (ABDTPA) and neutral salts having low … Show more
