Heavy metal remediation and resistance mechanism of Aeromonas, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas: A review (2020, background): “Heavy metals have a high potential for inducing toxic effects in humans because of a lack of proper defense mechanisms that could mitigate the toxic effects (Wu et al., 2016).”
Heavy Metals and Pesticides Toxicity in Agricultural Soil and Plants: Ecological Risks and Human Health Implications (2021, background): “The defect in all these biological molecules causes many physiological problems, such as DNA, cell damage, and the inhibition of enzymatic activities, which may ultimately lead to the death of the entire plant [98].”
Identifying Toxic Impacts of Metals Potentially Released during Deep-Sea Mining—A Synthesis of the Challenges to Quantifying Risk (2017, background): “A considerable body of research has identified the mechanisms by which metals in the marine environment might exert toxic effects in marine species (e.g., Hollenberg, 2010 and references in that special issue; Wu et al., 2016; Figure 3).”
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction-linked neurodegenerative disorders (2017, background): “These may occur either by direct or prevalently through enzyme or metal-catalyzed processes.[4] Additionally, in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, during energy transduction, a small number of electrons ‘leak’ to oxygen prematurely forms O·− 2 .”
Toxic Mechanisms of Five Heavy Metals: Mercury, Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, and Arsenic (2021, background): “Following exposure to toxic metals and entrance to the body, various processes happen including interaction or inhibition of some metabolic pathways (Wu et al., 2016).”
