The determination of the concentration of an environmental pollutant is not sufficient to
assess the related health risk because this pollutant may not be bioavailable. Therefore …

The pollution of urban soils by metals is a global problem. Prolonged exposure of habitants
who are in contact with metals retained in soil poses a health risk. This particularly applies to …

The relative ease with which cadmium (Cd) in agricultural soils can transfer to crop plants
can pose a potential health risk to consumers. However, efforts to predict and mitigate these …
