Heavy metal driven co-selection of antibiotic resistance in soil and water bodies impacted by agriculture and aquaculture (2012, background): “Aquaculture (Burridge et al., 2010) and agricultural practices (Han et al., 2002; Nicholson et al., 2003) contribute to this world wide pollution due to diverse applications of metals in feed additives, organic and inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, and anti-fouling products.”
Silver nanoparticles: behaviour and effects in the aquatic environment. (2011, background): “In countries such as the UK and USA, a large proportion of the annually produced sewage sludge is used as a fertiliser in agricultural soil (Nicholson et al., 2003), although other countries incinerate such waste (Gottschalk et al.”
Assessment of heavy metal pollution in surface soils of urban parks in Beijing, China. (2005, background): “Atmospheric deposition of heavy metals, including Cu and Pb, is considered to be a significant factor in soil pollution (Martin, 2001; Nicholson et al., 2003).”
Concentrated biogas slurry enhanced soil fertility and tomato quality (2010, background): “What’s more, the environmental behaviour of trace metals (copper, zinc, arsenic, etc) should also be taken into consideration (L’Herroux et al., 1997; Nicholson et al., 2003).”
Potential Sources of Anthropogenic Copper Inputs to European Agricultural Soils (2018, background): “Furthermore, the sector has made much progress in reducing heavy metal emissions [41,54].”
Global change pressures on soils from land use and management (2016, background): “In the UK, deposition is responsible for 25–85% of inputs to UK soils (Nicholson et al., 2003).”
Transfer of heavy metals through terrestrial food webs: a review (2015, background): “However, heavy metals may also be present in treated sewage sludge as a result of domestic inputs, road runoff, and industrial contributions to urban wastewater collection systems (Nicholson et al. 2003; Rattan et al. 2005; Luo et al. 2009; McClellan and Halden 2010).”
Soil amendments for immobilization of potentially toxic elements in contaminated soils: A critical review. (2019, background): “Wastelands generated by mining activities in China amount to 1,500,000 ha, and this area has been increasing by 46,700 ha per year (Zhuang et al., 2009).”
Review of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment and Its Relevance to Environmental Regulators (2016, background): “A log change in sulfur affinity brings a log decrease in the quantity of metal required to inhibit growth, i.e., increase in toxicity (Nies, 2003).”
Silver nanoparticles in soil–plant systems (2013, background): “2009) but in countries such as the United Kingdom and United States, a large proportion of such wastes is used as a fertilizer in agricultural soil (Nicholson et al. 2003) which in turn may act as major sources of AgNPs in agricultural soil system.”
Soil contamination with cadmium, consequences and remediation using organic amendments. (2017, background): “Street et al. (2010) reported a decrease in leaf length and fresh weight of leaves of wild garlic with the application of Cd. Cd decreases the chlorophyll content and concentration of adenosine triphosphate ATP (Hédiji et al., 2010).”
An inventory of trace element inputs to agricultural soils in China. (2009, methodology): “It is noteworthy that the average deposition flux of As in China is about 100 times higher than that in Europe (Nicholson et al., 2003).”
Polymer in Agriculture: a Review (2008, background): “Considering the harmful effects of heavy metals, it is necessary to almost totally remove them from waste effluents([55]), for this reason all over the world industry is forced to diminish down the acceptable level contents of heavy metal in water and industrial wastewaters([56]).”
Effect of fertilizer application on soil heavy metal concentration (2010, background): “Atmospheric deposition, manures, and sludges are the most important sources of lead in the agricultural soils (Nicholson et al. 2003).”
