Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2013, Volume 7, Issue 2,   Pages 219-230 doi: 10.1007/s11783-012-0469-9

Abstract: A pot experiment was carried out by growing 29 different genotypes ( spp.) of vegetable amaranth underThe result showed that amaranth was vulnerable to cadmium (Cd) contamination in soil.middle-Cd levels were significantly correlated ( <0.01), implying that Cd-accumulating property of amaranthcrop, and accordingly, consuming vegetable amaranth would bring high health risk.Therefore, adopting Cd-PSC strategy would help reducing the risk of Cd pollution in amaranth.
