Deciphering the soil–rice continuum: transfer dynamics and dietary risks of potentially toxic elements in paddy fields near a coal-fired thermal power plant

Thermal power plants (TPPs) located near intensively cultivated rice-growing landscapes act as significant sources of potentially toxic element (PTE) contamination. This study explored the distribution, soil-to-rice transfer, and dietary health risk of PTEs through paddy ingestion in agricultural soil around a coal-bas...
