Abstract:
      Cadmium(Cd) pollution in rice ecosystem has caused extensive public concerns over human health. This paper provides an overview of the recent studies on Cd sources, biogeochemical processes regulating Cd bioavailability to organisms, and Cd transfer and transformation and their major influencing factors(i.e. soil pH, oxidation-reduction reaction, organic matter content, soil texture and coexisting ions etc) in rice ecosystem worldwide. The risk management of Cd in rice ecosystem, including toxicity thresholds of cadmium-containing pollutant inputs, ways to block Cd transfer in rice food train and remediation of polluted paddy fields etc, was also discussed. This would provide fundamental information for preventing soil cadmium pollution and protecting human health.
