Lead (Pb) is one of the most toxic heavy metal in soils causing toxicity to human and biota. Phytoremediation ) from Pb contaminated soil. In terms Pb accumulation, kenaf varieties HC-3 and HC-95 showed higher phytoremediation potentiality of Pb from contaminated soil. Since these plants are primarily considered for fiber crops in addition to making paper pulp, construction materials, biofuel and firing/burning purposes therefore, there is a little chance for secondary contamination and minimize the drawbacks of phytoremediation technology.

“…Secondly, Translocation Factors (TF) which indicate the competence of the plant species to translocate metals from roots to shoots. The plant's ability to accumulate metals from soils and translocate metals were estimated using the TF in equation 1 and the BCF in equation 2 according to Yoon et al, 2006;Ho et al, 2008 …”

Heavy metal pollution of the soil environment has become a major source of concern and continues to pose serious health problems to both humans and ecological systems worldwide. Phytoremediation is a biological treatment whereby plants are used to remove pollutant from the environment. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential of Melastoma malabathricum as a phytoremediator to absorb heavy metals from soil contaminated with sewage sludge. Melastoma malabathricum seedlings were planted on six different growth media: T 0 -Control (100 % soil), T 1 (80 % soil + 20 % sewage sludge), T 2 (60 % soil + 40 % sewage sludge), T 3 (40 % soil + 60 % sewage sludge), T 4 (20 % soil + 80 % sewage sludge) and T 5 (100 % sludge). There were differences found in both growth parameters and plant biomass. The highest growth performance such as plant height and number of leaves was found in T 3 . Iron was highly accumulated in the roots, Cu in the stems in T 3 , while Pb was accumulated in leaves in T 5 . The results showed the lowest Translocation Factor (TF) and highest Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) values in relation to the following elements: Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn. Melastoma malabathricum roots are able to uptake and translocate the elements into the plant's shoots. Therefore, it can be considered a good accumulator plant due to its capability of concentrating contaminants in aerial tissue. Melastoma malabathricum were thus found to be suitable for absorbing heavy metals in contaminated soils, and this species can also be considered an effective phtyoremediator of contaminated soil and mitigator of soil pollution.

“…The two Hibiscus species were particularly productive in all experimental treatments. Several Hibiscus species, notably H. cannabinus, have been used frequently in phytoremediation trials and showed good potential to absorb cadmium (Bada & Raji 2010), chromium (Ogunleye et al 2016) or lead (Ho et al 2008) in their tissues. Since plant biomass is a determinant factor for successful phytoextraction and a determinant factor for successful application of phytoremediation (Reeves & Baker 2000), these preliminary results are encouraging.…”

In urban areas of China, several plant species are commonly used for ornamental purposes. Many of these plants have demonstrated a good capacity to resist these varied urban stresses, and it would be relevant to verify whether they can be grown on polluted sites and demonstrate some phytoremediation potential. Twelve ornamental shrub species were chosen to be tested for tolerance to inorganic contaminants and capacity to absorb and concentrate heavy metals in their aerial parts. A large split-plot trial comprising 20 plots was set up, and soil was spiked with different metals (Cu, Pb and Zn). In general, all twelve shrub species performed well regardless of the treatment. Two Hibiscus species, H. mutabilis and H. syriacus "Hamabo" were particularly productive. In terms of capacity to uptake metals, two of the best performing species were Spiraea japonica, for copper, and Nandina domestica, for lead. Bioconcentration and transfer factors were low. This could be related to weak development of the root systems in these recently established plants. Species with high yield, such as the two Hibiscus species, presented more interesting values in terms of quantity of metal extracted, and could eventually be recommended for decontamination of soils polluted by inorganics.
