Comparison of mercury, lead and arsenic with respect to genotoxic effects on plant systems and the development of genetic tolerance (2004, background): “Metals like mercury, lead and arsenic may be increasingly taken up by plants, especially crops, and transferred further to the food chain (Beijer and Jernelöv, 1986; Devkota and Schmidt, 2000; Jamil and Hussain, 1992; Jung and Thornton, 1997; Kiss et al., 1992).”
Transfer of heavy metals through terrestrial food webs: a review (2015, background): “Such metal accumulation has been well studied in certain taxa, including mollusks (Notten et al. 2008; Nica et al. 2012; Bourioug et al. 2015), earthworms (Heikens et al. 2001; Hobbelen et al. 2006), orthopterans (Devkota and Schmidt 2000), coleopterans (Migula et al. 2011), and ants (Grzes 2010).”
Assessing risk of heavy metals from consuming food grown on sewage irrigated soils and food chain transfer. (2008, background): “However, the heavy metal content in plants can also be affected by other factors such as the application of fertilizers, sewage sludge or irrigation with wastewater (Devkota and Schmidt, 2000; Frost and Ketchum, 2000; Mangwayana, 1995).”
