Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and a beneficial element for plants. However, high Se doses always exhibit hazardous effects. Recently, Se toxicity in plant-soil system has received increasing attention. This review will summarize (1) Se concentration in soils and its sources, (2) Se bioavailability in soils and influencing factors, (3) mechanisms on Se uptake and translocation in plants, (4) toxicity and detoxification of Se in plants and (5) strategies to remediate Se pollution. High Se concentration mainly results from wastewater discharge and industrial waste dumping. Selenate (Se [VI]) and selenite (Se [IV]) are the two primary forms absorbed by plants. Soil conditions such as pH, redox potential, organic matter and microorganisms will influence Se bioavailability. In plants, excessive Se will interfere with element uptake, depress photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis, generate oxidative damages and cause genotoxicity. Plants employ a series of strategies to detoxify Se, such as activating antioxidant defense systems and sequestrating excessive Se in the vacuole. In order to alleviate Se toxicity to plants, some strategies can be applied, including phytoremediation, OM remediation, microbial remediation, adsorption technique, chemical reduction technology and exogenous substances (such as Methyl jasmonate, Nitric oxide and Melatonin). This review is expected to expand the knowledge of Se toxicity/detoxicity in soil-plant system and offer valuable insights into soils Se pollution remediation strategies.

Iodine distribution and volatilization in contrasting forms of forest humus during a laboratory incubation experiment. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY 2022; 248:106872. [PMID: 35430501 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2022.106872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Radionuclides 129I (t1/2 = 15.7 × 106 years) and 131I (t1/2 = 8.02 days) are both introduced into the environment as a result of nuclear human activities. Environmental transfer pathways and fluxes between and within ecosystems are essential information for risk assessment. In forest ecosystems, humus degradation over time could result in re-mobilization and then downward migration and/or volatilization of intercepted 129I. In order to estimate the scale of these processes, humus (mull and moder forms) sampled under deciduous and coniferous forests were spiked with 125I- (t1/2 = 59.4 days), as a surrogate for 129I, in order to study the evolution of its water-soluble and organic fractions as well as the volatilization rate during humus degradation at laboratory scale. To our knowledge, this is the first time that interactions between iodine and contrasting forms of forest humus have been investigated. The evolution of native stable iodine (127I) pools in unspiked humus was also studied. The nature of the humus' organic matter appears to be a factor that impacts on the proportions of water-soluble and organic fractions of iodine and on their evolution. Iodine-125 was mainly organically bound (fraction for mulls and moders: ∼54-59 and 41-49%, respectively) and no clear evolution was observed within the 4-month incubation period. A large decrease in 125I water-solubility occurred, being more marked for mull (from ∼14-32 to 3-7%) than for moder (from ∼21-37 to 7-19%) humus. By contrast, a significant fraction was not extractible (∼38-43%) and varied in inverse proportion to the water-soluble fraction, suggesting a stabilization of iodine in humus after wet deposit. The nature of the humus organic matter also impacted on 125I volatilization. Although of the same order of magnitude, the total volatilization of 125I was higher for moders (∼0.039-0.323%) than for mulls (∼0.015-0.023%) within the 4-month incubation period. Volatilization rates for mulls were correlated with the water-soluble fraction, implying that volatilization of 125I could occur from the humus solution. Our results showed that humus is thus a zone of iodine accumulation by association with organic matter and that potential losses by lixiviation are significantly more important compared to volatilization.
