Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) pose a threat to human health as they can easily enter the human body via ingestion of polluted soil/sediment. In order to estimate the bioavailability and assess the health impact on people, measurement of the oral... Read More about Health impact assessment by ingestion of polluted soil/sediment.
