dc.description.abstractCadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are ubiquitous elements and are among the most dangerous metals in the environment. Long-term human exposure is an important public health problem and is associated with kidney failure, neurotoxicity and several types of cancer. The general population is exposed to these metals from several sources, namely food, air and water. Food is the dominant source of exposure to Cd and Pb. Plants can uptake Cd and Pb present in the soil. The mobile fraction of Cd and Pb in soil is very low compared to other elements. Various soil extraction procedures were developed for the determination of plant-available, mobile and potentially mobile pools of trace elements in soils. These procedures offer a reliable approach to investigate possible relationships between water, soil and plants.pt_PT
