Abstract

Heavy metal pollution not only affects the environment but also the behavior of people who are greatly dependent on their surrounding environment for their survival. There are both natural and anthropogenic sources of heavy metals but their pollution by manmade activities are quite faster than natural sources. A person gets exposed to heavy metals by four major exposure pathways i.e. inhalation, ingestion, dermal exposure and injection. After exposure to heavy metals, internal normal body functions of an individual gets disturbed. This in turn alters the human behavior from normal to an abnormal state. Various behavioral changes are associated with heavy metals exposure such as depression, anxiety, irregular heartbeats, stress, decrease in strength and power, lack of confidence, restlessness, lack of tolerance and aggressions among the individuals and the society as a whole. This review entails the information regarding sources of heavy metals, exposure pathways and health effects of heavy metals resulting in behavioral changes in humans.

Abstract

Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are beneficial microorganisms that play a crucial role in sustainable agriculture by enhancing soil fertility, improving nutrient uptake, and promoting plant growth and resilience. In Indonesia, rice (Oryza sativa) stands as a vital staple crop, essential for food security and economic stability. However, rice production faces significant challenges, prominently including rice blast disease caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae. A systematic literature review is conducted, showing that this disease severely impacts yield and quality, threatening food security in the region. The aim of this review is to explore the potential of PGPRs in managing rice blast disease and enhancing rice production in Indonesia. The scope includes examining the mechanisms of action of PGPRs, presenting case studies on their application, discussing challenges and opportunities for wider adoption, and proposing future research directions to optimize their effectiveness in sustainable rice cultivation.

Abstract

This review addresses heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils, focusing on bioavailability, toxicity, and phytoremediation techniques. We identify significant regional variations in cadmium and lead levels, posing health risks through crop consumption. Effective phytoremediation methods, such as phytoextraction and Phytostabilization, have shown marked improvements over recent years. Recommendations include best practices for soil management, stringent regulatory measures, and advanced research in biotechnological remediation methods. This study underscores the urgent need for integrated strategies to ensure food safety and sustainable agriculture in sector.
