Soil-to-Shoot Transfer of Potentially Toxic Elements in a Halophyte Exposed to Phosphate Fertilizer Industry Effluents: Implications for Ecological and Human Health Risks.
Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from phosphate fertilizer industry effluents (PFIE) is a persistent problem in arid regions, where industrial discharge often overlaps with natural halophytic vegetation and grazing activities. In this field-based study, we investigated the halophyte Sarcocornia f...
