Assessment of Contamination of Soil and Groundwater Due to e-Waste Handling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have revealed the magnitude of heavy metal contamination of soil and groundwater in and around an unauthorized e-waste recycling site in Delhi, which is unsafe and unorganized.

Chromium, Nickel, Cadmium, and Lead Accumulation in Maize, Sunflower, Willow, and Poplar
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the accumulation of chromium, nickel, lead and cadmium by maize (Zea mays L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), willow (Salix x smithiana Willd.), and poplar (Populus nigra L. x P. maximowiczii), and the realtionship between contaminants in soil and in plants.

Chromium (VI) – induced stress response in the plant Plantago ovata Forsk in vitro
TL;DR: Cr (VI) reduced the shoot-root length and seed germination in a dose-dependent manner and upregulating the stress response genes in the phenylpropanoid pathway along with an increase in polyphenol and antioxidant contents, which were evident from the lowering of lipid peroxidation rate and increase in PAL and PPO gene expressions.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated the potential of Fe0 nanoparticles to improve performance of sunflower plants under Cr toxicity through reducing their Cr uptake, which was accompanied by enhanced activity of detoxification enzymes (SOD, CAT, POX, and APX) in cells.

Chromium occurrence in the environment and methods of its speciation.
J. Kotaś,Z. Stasicka +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that knowledge of interconversion processes between different Cr forms is necessary to understand its behaviour and role in the environment, in addition to enabling reliable Cr speciation analysis to be performed.

Phytoremediation of soil metals
TL;DR: Little molecular understanding of plant activities critical to phytoremediation has been achieved, but recent progress in characterizing Fe, Cd and Zn uptake by Arabidopsis and yeast mutants indicates strategies for developing transgenic improved phytOREmediation cultivars for commercial use.
