Iodine status of soils, grain crops, and irrigation waters in Pakistan
TL;DR: In this article, a study was carried out across 86 locations of the country to investigate iodine supply potential of soils, grains and underground waters for onward design of an environmental intervention in Pakistan.
Source apportionment of micronutrients in the diets of Kilimanjaro,Tanzania and Counties of Western Kenya.
Michael J. Watts,Daniel R. S. Middleton,Daniel R. S. Middleton,Andrew L. Marriott,Olivier S. Humphrey,Elliott M. Hamilton,Amanda Gardner,Martin Smith,Valerie McCormack,Diana Menya,Michael O. Munishi,Blandina T. Mmbaga,Odipo Osano +12 more
TL;DR: Micronutrient supply from food groups was higher from Kilimanjaro,Tanzania than Counties in Western Kenya, albeit from a smaller sample, and Tanzanian drinking water presented several opportunities for delivering greater than 10% of the estimated average requirement (EAR) for micronutrients.
Do soil amendments used to improve agricultural productivity have consequences for soils contaminated with heavy metals
Belinda Kaninga,Benson H. Chishala,Kakoma K. Maseka,Godfrey M. Sakala,Scott D. Young,R. Murray Lark,Andrew Tye,Elliott M. Hamilton,Amanda Gardner,Michael J. Watts +9 more
TL;DR: The results obtained in this study showed that soil amendment with minimal lime and manure whilst benefiting agricultural productivity, may significantly reduce the mobility or plant availability of metals from contaminated agricultural soils.

Measuring the solid-phase fractionation of lead in urban and rural soils using a combination of geochemical survey data and chemical extractions
TL;DR: The bioaccessibility of Pb in a subset of 50 of the urban soils, as measured using the unified BARGE method, was shown to be quantitatively linked with Pb fractionation from both the total element and the sequential extraction data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that Pb in urban agricultural soil is associated with Al oxide phases, with the second most important phase associated with either Fe oxyhydroxide or crystalline FeO, and only to a limited extent with Ca carbonates.
