Strategies to manage the risk of heavy metal(loid) contamination in agricultural soils

Fang-Jie ZHAO

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2020, Volume 7, Issue 3, Pages 333-338 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2020335

Abstract:

Soil contamination with heavy metal(loid)s threatens soil ecological functions, water quality andfood safety; the latter is the focus of this review.relatively easily taken up by food crops.Contamination and soil acidification are the main causes of high Cd levels in rice grains produced inIt is important to protect agricultural soils from future contamination.

E-waste environmental contamination and harm to public health in China

Xijin Xu,Xiang Zeng,H. Marike Boezen,Xia Huo

Frontiers of Medicine 2015, Volume 9, Issue 2, Pages 220-228 doi: 10.1007/s11684-015-0391-1

Abstract:

The adverse effects of electronic waste (e-waste) on the human body have stirred up concern in recent years. China is one of the countries that confront serious pollution and human exposure of e-waste, and the majority of the population is exposed to potentially hazardous substances that are derived from informal e-waste recycling processes. This study reviews recent reports on human exposure to e-waste in China, with particular focus on exposure routes (e.g., inhalation and ingestion) and several toxicities of human (e.g., endocrine system, respiratory system, reproductive system, developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and genetic toxicity). Pieces of evidence that associate e-waste exposure with human health effects in China are assessed. The role of toxic heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, and nickel) and organic pollutants (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs), bisphenol A (BPA)) on human health is also briefly discussed.

Review on drivers, trends and emerging issues of the food wastage in China

Lin MA,Wei QIN,Tara GARNETT,Fusuo ZHANG

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2015, Volume 2, Issue 2, Pages 159-167 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2015066

Abstract: We briefly analyze (1) the drivers that influence levels of food waste in the food chain, (2) examinetrends in the volumes and types of food wasted at different stages in the food chain, (3) assess theenvironmental and resource consequences of food waste in the food chain, and (4) evaluate the policyIt is concluded that reducing food loss and meeting food security in China requires a coherent institutionalloss by up to 50%, and (2) improving food waste recycling management, based on coupled food production
