Absorption and distribution of cadmium of three maize hybrids in three environments

Anthropogenic soil contamination with heavy metals has received much attention in recent years, especially cadmium (Cd), which is a very toxic element for human health and is exposure is mainly through contaminated food. Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereals in the human diet that...
