摘要

Aims

Accurate prediction of bioaccumulation and risk of cadmium (Cd) in wheat is important for assessing the safe utilization and risk management of Cd-contaminated soils.

Methods

This study combined machine learning (ML) with Bayesian risk prediction models to quantify key factors and predict Cd risk for two main wheat varieties on a county in southwest China.

Results

Three ML models (RF, XGB, and GBDT) were used to predict wheat Cd (wCd) contents using paired soil-wheat samples (n = 96). Additionally, feature importance analysis to identify the key factors on wCd contents based on 11 factors in 3 categories. Bayesian risk prediction model was used to predict the risk of wCd exceeding the food safety standard (0.1 mg kg−1). The feature importance analysis revealed that the top three influencing factors for both wheat varieties were aZn (37.72% and 56.74%, respectively), tCd (27.37% and 13.53%), and aCd (27.25% and 11.49%).Using tCd and aCd as variables for risk prediction, the results showed that when the contents of tCd and aCd were 0.66, 0.72, 0.77 mg kg−1 and 0.41, 0.48, 0.53 mg kg−1, respectively, the wCd risk reaches 10%, 50%, and 90%, respectively.

Conclusions

Our study provides valuable insights for predicting Cd levels and probability of exceeding risk in wheat, thus helping to ensure food safety.
