Phytoremediation: A Promising Approach for Revegetation of Heavy Metal-Polluted Land by An Yan, Yamin Wang, Swee Ngin Tan, Mohamed Lokman Mohd Yusof, Subhadip Ghosh, Subhadip Ghosh, Zhong Chen, Zhong Chen

“…As heavy metals are non-biodegradable, they persist in the environment, have potential to enter the food chain through crop plants, and eventually may accumulate in the human body through biomagnification. Owing to their toxic nature, heavy metal contamination has posed a serious threat to human health and the ecosystem. …”

Meteorological and Nutrient Conditions Influence Microcystin Congeners in Freshwaters by Zofia E. Taranu, Frances R. Pick, Irena F. Creed, Arthur Zastepa, Sue B. Watson

“…Microcystins (MCs) are among the most commonly detected cyanotoxins, but little is known about the distribution of different MC congeners despite large differences in their biomagnification, persistence, and toxicity. Using raw-water intake data from sites around the Great Lakes basin, we applied multivariate canonical analyses and regression tree analyses to identify how different congeners (MC-LA, -LR, -RR, and -YR) varied with changes in meteorological and nutrient conditions over time (10 years) and space (longitude range: 77°2′60 to 94°29′23 W). …”
