Agricultural soil quality is critical for sustainable food production, yet contamination by toxic elements (TEs) may pose ecological and human health risks. This study assessed the concentrations, ecological impacts, and potential health risks of five TEs (Cr, Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn) in agricultural soils across China by...

The rapid growth of urban areas and increased farming practices in cities has raised significant
food safety issues, especially concerning chemical contamination of essential foods. This study
looked at consumer awareness and health safety perceptions about pesticide residues in commonly
consumed leafy vegetables in...

Pesticides are essential for maximizing crop yields and ensuring food security, yet concerns are growing about their accumulation in the food chain. While human dietary exposure has received considerable attention, pesticide residues in animal feed represent a critical, underexplored pathway that can affect livesto...

Agricultural intensification in Zambia has led to widespread reliance on pesticides to safeguard crop yields, yet concerns about their ecological consequences remain insufficiently addressed. This study helps to fill this gap by evaluating the extent and ecological risks associated with pesticide contamination in soils...

Vegetable-production systems connect edible crops with cultivation soil and irrigation water, yet multi-matrix evidence from tropical highland production areas remains limited. This pilot study characterized targeted pesticide residues and potentially toxic elements across co-located crop–soil–water matrices at three m...
