[PMID: 38013028 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
To evaluate the environmental concerns associated with heavy metals (HMs) during their translocations in food chains, it is crucial to gather data on the types of HMs present in soils in order to ascertain their toxicity and potential to migrate. An overview of the findings from several physical techniques used to determine and identify the HMs, sediments, individual minerals, and organic components in contaminated agricultural and industrial soils, is provided in this review article. These studies cover a variety of X-ray-based analytical techniques, including most widely used ones like X-ray absorption near edge structure, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, X-ray diffraction, and less popular ones X-ray fluorescence, etc. When compared to techniques that rely on laboratory radiation sources, synchrotron radiation offers more precision and efficiency. These methods could pinpoint the primary mechanisms influencing the soil's ability to transport contaminants and track their subsequent migration up the food chain.

Abstract
As persistent environmental pollutants, more than thirty metals impose a potential global threat to the environment and humans, which has raised scientific concerns. Although the toxic effects of metals had been extensively studied, there is a paucity of information on their mixture toxicity. In this study, we examined the individual and binary combined toxicity of three common metals such as lithium (Li), lead (Pb), and manganese (Mn) on the proliferation of murine neural stem cells (mNSCs), respectively. Li, Pb, and Mn reduced cell proliferation at the concentration of 5.00 mM, 2.50 μM, and 5.00 μM, respectively (all p < 0.050), in a dose-dependent manner of each metal solely on mNSCs with the cytotoxicity rank as Pb > Mn > Li. Furthermore, the interactions of metal mixtures on mNSCs were determined by using response-additivity and dose-additivity models. Pb + Mn mixtures showed a more than additive effect (synergistic) of toxicity in both two methods. In the dose-additivity method, Pb + Li and Li + Mn mixtures exhibited synergistic effects in the compound with a high ratio of Li (25.0% Pb/75.0% Li, 75.0% Li/25.0% Mn), whereas they are antagonistic in the lower or equal ratio of Li (such as 75.0% Pb/25.0% Li, 25.0% Li/75.0% Mn). Besides, the interactions of Li + Mn mixtures showed some discrepancies between different endpoints. In conclusion, our study highlights the complexity of the mixtures' interaction patterns and the possible neuroprotective effect of Li under certain conditions. In the future, more research on different levels of metal mixtures, especially Li metal, is necessary to evaluate their underlying interactions and contribute to establishing risk assessment systems.

Abstract
Abstract
Phytoremediation is a process which effectively uses plants as a tool to remove, detoxify or immobilize contaminants. It has been an eco-friendly and cost-effective technique to clean contaminated environments. The contaminants from various sources have caused an irreversible damage to all the biotic factors in the biosphere. Bioremediation has become an indispensable strategy in reclaiming or rehabilitating the environment that was damaged by the contaminants. The process of bioremediation has been extensively used for the past few decades to neutralize toxic contaminants, but the results have not been satisfactory due to the lack of cost-effectiveness, production of byproducts that are toxic and requirement of large landscape. Phytoremediation helps in treating chemical pollutants on two broad categories namely, emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) and emerging inorganic pollutants (EIOPs) under in situ conditions. The EOPs are produced from pharmaceutical, chemical and synthetic polymer industries, which have potential to pollute water and soil environments. Similarly, EIOPs are generated during mining operations, transportations and industries involved in urban development. Among the EIOPs, it has been noticed that there is pollution due to heavy metals, radioactive waste production and electronic waste in urban centers. Moreover, in recent times phytoremediation has been recognized as a feasible method to treat biological contaminants. Since remediation of soil and water is very important to preserve natural habitats and ecosystems, it is necessary to devise new strategies in using plants as a tool for remediation. In this review, we focus on recent advancements in phytoremediation strategies that could be utilized to mitigate the adverse effects of emerging contaminants without affecting the environment.

From mine to mind and mobiles - Lithium contamination and its risk management. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 290:118067.

Abstract
With the ever-increasing demand for lithium (Li) for portable energy storage devices, there is a global concern associated with environmental contamination of Li, via the production, use, and disposal of Li-containing products, including mobile phones and mood-stabilizing drugs. While geogenic Li is sparingly soluble, Li added to soil is one of the most mobile cations in soil, which can leach to groundwater and reach surface water through runoff. Lithium is readily taken up by plants and has relatively high plant accumulation coefficient, albeit the underlying mechanisms have not been well described. Therefore, soil contamination with Li could reach the food chain due to its mobility in surface- and ground-waters and uptake into plants. High environmental Li levels adversely affect the health of humans, animals, and plants. Lithium toxicity can be considerably managed through various remediation approaches such as immobilization using clay-like amendments and/or chelate-enhanced phytoremediation. This review integrates fundamental aspects of Li distribution and behaviour in terrestrial and aquatic environments in an effort to efficiently remediate Li-contaminated ecosystems. As research to date has not provided a clear picture of how the increased production and disposal of Li-based products adversely impact human and ecosystem health, there is an urgent need for further studies on this field.
