“…As there is no mining activity in Lusaka, the content of Pb in the samples from there could be due to pollution from other industries (cement manufacturers, iron and steel foundries, industrial or commercial boilers, waste incinerators, lead battery smelters etc.) and heavy vehicular emissions . Exposure to Pb is associated with poor muscle coordination, hearing and vision impairments, brain and kidneys damage, reproductive defects and gastrointestinal symptoms.…”

“…This is higher than the concentration observed by Franca (0.2 mg/kg) (Figure 1). In some cultivated lettuce exposed to heavy metals high traffic area of Pernambuco, Brazil [29]. This may bring credence to the fact that vehicular and industrial emission may be a veritable source of exposure heavy metals in food.…”

“…Lead concentration in the control roasted plantains (Musa paradisiaca) which were far away from vehicular and industrial emission had lower concentration than in most samples but was still higher than the FAO/WHO recommended limit in foods. This could be as a result of other extraneous sources of metal contamination in foods which may include agricultural contribution from fertilizers and pesticides in the process of cultivation of the foods [29].…”

“…Research have established a positive correlation between heavy metal concentration and vehicular movement and that Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni and Cd in urban areas are due to particulate deposition from vehicles on the highway [29]. Hence the effect of automobile contribution to the atmospheric pollution cannot be overemphasized, but there seems to be paucity of literature on the contribution of automobile and industrial emission to heavy metals in the atmosphere and subsequent deposition on road side roasted foods.…”

This research determined the concentration of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) in roasted corn (Zea mays), roasted plantain (Musa paradisiaca) and barbecue from roadside close to industrial and automobile emission in some selected parts of Lagos and Ota, South-West Nigeria. They were analysed after digestion by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Lead had the highest concentration in all the food type analyzed and was higher than FAO permissible limit (0.3 mg/kg) in about 92% of the samples analyzed. It was also found to be higher in the samples from Lagos than those from Ota. While Cadmium had relatively lower concentration compared with Lead in all the food samples but about 25% of the samples analyzed had higher concentration than the FAO permissible limit (0.5 mg/kg). The results showed that the order of the concentration of Lead in the food samples was corn>barbecue>plantain, while the order of the Cadmium concentration in the food samples was in the order corn>plantain>barbecue. Continual consumption of roasted corn, roasted plantain and barbecue close to highway and industrial emission may therefore constitute a source of exposure to these heavy metals.

“…These pollutants could be resulted from different sources including traffic (Patton et al 2016;França et al 2017), industrial activities Wang et al 2017), mining activities (Campos-Herrera et al 2016;Strzebońska et al 2017) and agricultural activities (Slabe-Erker et al 2017;Shukla et al 2017). The polluted lands suffer from the high concentration of toxic pollutants destroying the agroecosystems (Stiborova et al 2017;Saha et al 2017a).…”

MANY global problems threaten our life on the Planet including climate changes, environmental pollution, food and soil security, energy crisis, etc. This environmental pollution has not only mainly serious risks and stress involving the human health and safety of the entire ecosystem but also the quantity and quality of crops productivity worldwide. Due to the great gap between the global food production and the global consumption, there is a crucial need to cultivate these contaminated lands sooner or later. Therefore, the removing of pollutants from soils and waters should be performed in frame of sustainable remediation and sustainable energy production accordingly. Depending on many factors (source and kind of pollutants, land use and the economics of water and soil resources, etc) many strategies should be addressed for the sustainable and integrated management of polluted lands. Nanoremediation is a promising strategy in controlling pollution and management. Three major applications of nanoremediation could be characterized including detection of pollution using nanosensors, prevention of pollution, purification and remediation of contamination. Further studies also concerning the impact of changing climate on the nanoremediation process in the agroecosystems should be considered. Thus, this review will focus on the evaluation of environmental nanoremediation and its strategy in polluted lands under climate changes. Using of nanotechnology in pollution control as well as the environmental pollution and its sustainable management also will be highlighted.Keywords: Environmental nanoremediation, Climate change, Pollution, Crop production, Environmental stress. IntroductionClimate changes are a great challenge facing the human kind as well as other living things. The production of crops and other agricultural features are extremely susceptible to changes in climate. So, these global changes will be caused major shifts in crop distribution due to climate changes in the future. Moreover, it has been estimated that climate changes are likely to reduce yields and/or damage crops in the 21 Removing of pollutants from soils and waters could be linked with both the sustainable remediation as well as sustainable energy production (Kovacs and Szemmelveisz 2017; Zheng and Shi 2017). Many strategies for the sustainable and integrated management of polluted lands should be addressed depending on several factors e.g., type of pollutants and their level, the purpose of land use after remediation, soil characterization and its topography, climate , cropping patterns and the availability of resources and their economics (El-Ramady et al. 2017;Saha et al. 2017a). Furthermore, a great debate concerning using of lands for crop food production (under growing global population) or energy crop production was and still for ages (Paschalidou et al. 2016). Therefore, a global and holistic strategy in facing the main three threats including hunger, lack of energy and pollution of environment as well as climate changes should be esta...
