“…Tiryakioglu et al (2006) reported that increasing Cd applications lead to an increase in the Cd concentration of the green parts; however, much of the Cd particularly accumulated in the roots. Similarly, Pietrelli et al (2022), in their study, exposed the plants to heavy metal pollution and found that the root parts of the plants generally accumulated higher Cd concentrations.…”

As industrial and agricultural activities intensify and technology rapidly advances, soil pollution has escalated to alarming levels. The increasing contamination of agricultural areas and the crops cultivated therein has emerged as a significant contemporary issue. Phytoremediation, the use of plants to remove pollutants, is a promising method for mitigating soil heavy metal contamination. This study investigates the bioaccumulation capacity of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), a potential phytoremediator, in soils artificially contaminated with cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and copper (Cu). Purslane was cultivated under controlled conditions with varying doses of Cd, Ni, and Cu. After 55 days, the plants were harvested and analysed for heavy metal concentrations in their roots, stems, and leaves. Results demonstrated a direct correlation between environmental heavy metal concentration and plant heavy metal content, with the most significant accumulation occurring in the roots. Leaf chlorophyll content was adversely affected by increased Cd, Ni, and Cu applications. The highest Cu, Ni, and Cd contents were found in the roots at 140 mg kg-1 Cu, 80 mg kg-1 Ni, and 20 mg kg-1 Cd applications, respectively. The bio-transfer coefficient (BTC), a measure of heavy metal transport from the root region to the leaves, was calculated. The BTC values ranged from 0.84-1.09 for Cu, 0.39-0.84 for Ni, and >1 for Cd at the Control and 5 mg Cd kg-1 treatments. These findings suggest that purslane has potential for phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils, although the bioaccumulation and bio-transfer of heavy metals are dependent on the specific metal and its concentration in the soil. The study also highlights the potential risks associated with the consumption of plants grown in heavy metal-contaminated soils, as heavy metals can accumulate in different plant tissues, potentially entering the food chain.

“…Plant organisms are widely known for their phytoremedial and phytoindicative properties, and their ability to exhibit wide ecological plasticity in accordance with the genetically programmed capabilities of the reaction norm [14,15]. A large number of publications are devoted to the study of indicative parameters of the vital state of plants in conditions of anthropogenic pollution [16][17][18].…”

On the analysis basis of Ukraine fuel and energy complex priority problems, the key role of the introduction of international standards ISO 14000, ISO 9000 series and HSE policy to create conditions for the prevention of technological effects on environmental components and the formation of prerequisites for a safe environment, both for personnel and for the population of the surrounding territories, are determined. Deterioration of natural resources quality and ecosystems degradation and possible levels of natural environments pollution are used as parameters for environmental risk assessing in the conditions of the fuel and energy complex operation. The concept of environmental risk management in this field is presented. The biomonitoring uses to assess the factors influence of the industry enterprises is proposed. Biomonitoring of the territory around the Burshtyn thermal power plant is carried out, taxonomic characteristics of phytoobjects are given, and the indicative prospects of plants, their diversity and classes of permanence are evaluated. A literature analysis is carried out regarding the convenience, ease of use and phytoindicative suitability of plants under the conditions of the man-made environment complex impact. The highest species representativeness in Asteraceae family, represented by 17 species, Fabaceae and Poaceae – by 5 plant species, is established within the study area. The highest phytoindicative potential of Cichorium intybus L. and Achillea millefolium L. under the influence of Burshtyn thermal power station is revealed, which indicates the possibility of effective use of these plants as sensitive monitors of the fuel and energy complex enterprises ecological state.

“…Bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (PTF) were calculated for each plant based on plant and soil metal concentrations to determine if plants could be classified as accumulators. BCF is defined as the ratio of heavy metal concentration in plants to soil [16,[23][24][25][26]. Plant bioconcentration factor (BCF) and plant translocation factor (PTF) were calculated using the following equation:…”

“…Some metals, such as Cu and Zn, are vital to life because they are required in several metabolic systems, but Cd, Pb, and Cr may be hazardous in large amounts. When they contact the biological system, heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, copper, zinc, and cadmium are very poisonous [16].…”

ABSTRACT. This study aims to determine and compare the heavy metal concentrations in the water, sediment, and plants of the Karasu river in Erzurum, Türkiye. In this context, aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), and barium (Ba) concentrations were measured for this study. Salix excelsa (willow), Rosa canina L., Pyrus elaeagnifolia (wild pear), Malus sylvestris (wild apple), and Hippophae rhamnoides L. (sea buckthorn) plants were used as samples. Heavy metal concentrations follow the order of Al3+ > Fe2+ > Mn2+ > Ba2+ > Ni2+ > Zn2+ in the sediment. Heavy metal concentrations follow the order of Al3+ > Fe2+ > Ba2+ > Mn2+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+ in water. The leaf part of Salix excelsa has the highest bioconcentration factor (BCF) for Mn among plant parts. Mean BCF values were as follows: Zn2+ > Mn2+ > Ba2+ > Ni2+ > Al3+ ≈ Fe2+. In addition, the highest plant translocation factor (PTF) values were determined in Salix excelsa for Al and Fe; in Rosa canina L. for Ni and Zn; in Hippophae rhamnoides L. for Mn and in Malus sylvestris for Ba.
