Phytoremediation is an important and effective tool to remove different contaminations in the soil, water and air. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of phytoremediation using one species of shrubs, Nerium oleander plants, on reducing the heavy metals (HMs) contamination in the soil. The present study was carried out during 2015 in El-Dakhyla (industrial zone), Alexandria Egypt. A simple Uptake Plant Model (UPM) was used to estimate the contribution of various pathways in remediating ((Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Zinc (Zn)) through different parts, in one of the evergreen shrubs (leaves, stem and root). These include soil-root-leaf pathway, soil-air-leaf pathway, and its deposition. The model calculations revealed that the (Root concentration Factor) log RCF of the root equals 0.5, 0.41, and 0.45, respectively. The Translocation Stem Concentration Factor (TSCF) of the upward in the xylem equals 0.85, 0.98 and 0.99. Moreover, the Bioaccumulation Factors (log BCF) of the soil is 1.32, 0.014 and 0.061. In addition, the partition coefficient of Octanol-Water (log Kow) is 4.67, 2.75, and 3.35, respectively. Therefore, one may conclude that Pb was accumulated in the root, while Cd and Zn were concentrated in the aerial parts of the Nerium oleander plant. On the other hand, Pb considered one of the heavy metals where it's movement in the plants is slower than Cd and Zn due to its molecular weight is bigger than the latter HMs.

“…(2010) . It has been accounted for that Nerium oleander assumes an essential role in reducing heavy metals in nature because of its morphological and physic-compound attributes of N. oleander leave that has lanceolate leaves with high cuticle skin thickness ( Houdaji et al. 2010 ).…”

“…In the literature, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, and Zn are considered toxic elements (Cooper and Harrison 2009, Hoodaji et al 2012, Yaman 2006 being that these elements usually are released from vehicles through vehicular exhaust emissions, and both tire and brake wear in urban areas (Pellegrini et al 2014, Rodriguez et al 2011. Effectively, these elements presented higher concentration values around urban areas (T and H sites) from Huancayo city (Table III), where car congestion happens every day and during all day.…”

The air quality and distribution of trace elements in a metropolitan area of the Peruvian Andes were evaluated using transplanted epiphytic Tillandsia capillaris as biomonitors. Biomonitors were collected from the non-contaminated area and exposed to five sites with different types of contamination for three months in 2017. After exposure, the content of twenty-one elements were determined by ICP-MS analysis. Datasets were evaluated by one-way ANOVA, exposed-to-baseline (EB), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA). Results showed significant differences among sampling sites for several elements. According to EF ratios for Ba, Cr, Cu, Pb, Sb, and Zn EB ratios value greater than 1.75 were found around urban areas, indicating anthropogenic influence, which can be attributed to vehicular sources. The highest values of As and Cd were found in areas of agricultural practices, therefore their presence could be related to the employment of agrochemicals (pesticides, herbicides, and phosphate fertilizers). HCA shows that most elements come from vehicular sources and lower from agricultural and natural sources.

“…The main advantages of using higher plants for air monitoring are greater availability of the biological material, simplicity of species identification, sampling and treatment, harmless sampling and ubiquity of some genera, which makes it possible to cover large areas; therefore higher plants have appeal as indicators in air pollution monitoring in highly polluted areas where lichens and mosses are often absent (Bargagli 1998;Berlizov et al 2007;Rucandio et al 2011;Hoodaji et al 2012). Higher plants also exhibit greater tolerance to environmental changes which is especially important for monitoring areas with elevated anthropogenic influence (Berlizov et al 2007).…”
