Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves may accumulate relatively high levels of cadmium (Cd). The presence of cadmium in soils originates from both natural and anthropogenic sources. In particular, phosphate fertilizers can contain high Cd levels due to the presence of cadmium in the phosphate rock used for their manufacture. In order to investigate the Cd concentration in phosphate fertilizers used for tobacco production, fertilizers were sampled worldwide and analyzed for Cd and phosphorus…

Heavy metals content and distribution in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) as influenced by cadmium and different potassium sources
TLDR
Transfer factor (TF), which is the ratio of metal concentration in shoot to its concentration in root, of the studied HMs, was significantly affected by Cd and K treatments, and the proper form and dose of chemical fertilizers should be applied in Cd-contaminated soils.
Trace element contaminants in mineral fertilizers used in Iran
TLDR
Comparing trace element contents to limit values set by the German Fertilizer Ordinance showed that the mean contents of potentially toxic trace elements were lower than their limit values in all groups of fertilizers.
Inputs of heavy metals due to agrochemical use in tobacco fields in Brazil’s Southern Region
TLDR
The agrochemicals used in Brazilian tobacco fields provide lower inputs of the main heavy metals that are nonessential for plants than those registered in the international literature for the majority of crop fields in different regions of the world.

Levels of heavy metals in the raw and processed Ethiopian tobacco leaves
TLDR
It was showed that the metal contents of tobacco leaves varied with the geographical origin in which the tobacco plant grows, and theMetal contents of processed tobacco were higher than the corresponding raw leaves.
Cadmium Phytotoxicity: Responses, Mechanisms and Mitigation Strategies: A Review
Contamination of soils with cadmium is a critical factor affecting soil properties and plant growth. Cadmium is toxic to most plants in trace amounts, while other plants show varying tendencies to…
The Effect of Fertilization and Mycorrhiza on Cadmium Uptake by Tobacco
TLDR
The main outcome of this study was the important effect of the fertilization regime on the Cd concentration of tobacco leaves, which was clearly more pronounced than that of AM.

Potential risk of cadmium in a soil-plant system as a result of long-term (10 years) pig manure application
Animal manure may be a primary source of cadmium (Cd) to Chinese farmlands because abnormally high values of Cd were observed in various manures. In this study, we evaluated the potential risk of Cd…

TLDR
Evidence linking Cd-related kidney dysfunction and decreases in bone mineral density in nonoccupationally exposed populations who showed no signs of nutritional deficiency points to the much-needed revision of the current provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) for Cd.
