Attapulgite/oyster shell composite reduces cadmium and lead bioavailability in acidic agricultural soils through synergistic adsorption and pH regulation

Abstract Heavy metal contamination in acidified agricultural soils poses significant environmental and health risks. This study presents the development of a cost-effective dual-functional adsorbent, the attapulgite-oyster shell (ATP–OS) composite, engineered for the simultaneous removal of co-conta...
