“…The literature data confirm the correlation between the total amount of nickel in the soil and its concentration in plants [56]. This element is absorbed by hydrated aluminium and iron oxides, organic substances and clay materials, which contributes to its accumulation in the soil.…”

Purpose An experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential use of a combination of food waste compost with sorbents as immobilizing agents to aid the phytostabilization of Ni-contaminated soil, using Lolium perenne L. (L. perenne). Methods The content of Ni in plants, i.e. total and extracted by 0.01 M CaCl 2 , was determined using the spectrophotometry method. Tests for the phytotoxicity of food waste compost were carried out using Phytotoxkit ™ tests. Results The compost phytotoxicity tests showed that the growth of the roots of L. perenne was slightly stimulated for a compost concentration of 25%, showing the positive impact of this material on plant growth. The biomass of L. perenne in particular organs, Ni content and the properties of soil depended on the dose of a Ni contaminant and the type of mineral and organic mixture incorporated into the soil. Conclusions Ni accumulated predominantly in the roots of the L. perenne. The greatest increase pH was observed after compost with chalcedonite mixture was added to the soil. The application of mineral and organic mixture, containing compost from food wastes and chalcedonite as a soil amendment, tended to reduce the soil total and mobile fraction of Ni more in comparison to the un-amended soil. Graphical AbstractKeywords Aided phytostabilization · Nickel contaminated soil · Food waste compost · Sorbents Statement of noveltyProblems concerning food waste management and disposal worldwide are currently among the most difficult and most topical issues in the organized waste management system. Apart from the least appropriate placing of food waste in landfills, the methods for disposal/recycling of food waste are the production of animal feed and composting. It is considered that the compost may be recycled for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils through the use of organic acids, microorganisms and nutrients found in composts. In this manuscript, we show that the mixture of compost from food waste and mineral sorbents (chalcedonite, halloysite), are a promising amendments for co-remediation methods of nickel contaminated soils. These novel soil amendments could be used for enhanced phytostabilization methods.

“…The higher availability of Cr in sandy soil was due to low pH, CEC, clay concentration, and organic C. Sharma, Brar, and Malhi (2005) reported higher Cr concentration in spinach plants grown in sandy soil compared to silty clay loam soil. Narwal et al (1993) and Khurana (2000) reported higher Cd concentration in plants due to Cd application. Henry (2000) also reported that Brassica juncea has a good ability to transport Pb from roots to shoots, and even a Pb concentration of 500 mg I 21 was not phytotoxic to Brassica species.…”

A glasshouse investigation was undertaken to evaluate the natural potential of fenugreek (Trigonella foenumgraecum L.), spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), and raya (Brassica campestris L.) for cleanup of chromium (Cr)-contaminated silty loam and sandy soils. Four kilograms of soil per treatment in earthen pots was treated with five levels of chromium [0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mg Cr kg 21 soil through dipotassium chromate (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ], equilibrated for 21 days at field-capacity moisture content, and then fenugreek, spinach, and raya were grown for 60 days after seeding. The concentration of diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Cr increased significantly with increasing rate of Cr application in both soils, but the increase was higher in sandy soil than in silty loam soil. The DTPA-extractable Cr in both soils decreased after harvesting of crops compared to its concentration in soil before sowing of the crops. The decrease in DTPA-extractable Cr concentration was highest in soil growing raya and least in the fenugreek-growing soil. The percent reduction in dry-matter yield (DMY) with increasing levels of added Cr in comparison to the zero-Cr control was highest for fenugreek (49 and 52%) followed by spinach (36 and 42%) and lowest for raya (29 and 34%) in silty loam soil and sandy soil, respectively. Also, the percent reduction in mean shoot yield of all crops was higher in sandy soil (41%) compared to silty loam soil (36%), when the rate of applied Cr was increased from 0 to 10 mg Cr kg 21 soil. The DMY of both shoot and root was highest for raya and lowest for fenugreek. The Cr concentration in fenugreek, spinach, and raya increased with increasing level of added Cr in both soils. The concentration of Cr in both shoot and root was highest in raya, followed by spinach and fenugreek. The overall mean uptake of Cr in shoot was almost four times and in root was about two times higher in raya compared to fenugreek. The findings indicated that family Cruciferae (raya) was most tolerant to Cr toxicity, followed by chenopodiacea (spinach) and Leguminosae (fenugreek). Because raya removed the highest amount of Cr from soil, it could be used for pytoremediation of mildly Cr-contaminated soils.

“…In all the species except carrot, it was seen that Zn and Cd had similar uptake patterns. This might be due to their similarity in geochemical behavior (Narwal et al, 1993). Both metals are taken up and stored by similar transporters (Bert et al, 2003).…”

Metal pollution is an important concern because of its potential to affect human health. Metals such as lead and cadmium can enter soil via the food chain and exceed normal limits, producing harmful effects. In this study, six common garden and residential plant species were grown in soils from Spelter, WV, USA, contaminated with a variety of metals including lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu). Plant species included radish, carrot, chicory, spinach, lettuce, and clover. Metal concentrations in plant tissues were compared with metal concentration in soil by a multi‐step chemical extraction. The largest accumulation of Pb (126 mg kg−1) and Zn (1493 mg kg−1) was seen in radish roots, with Cd (40 mg kg−1) having the largest accumulation in carrot roots. Comparisons of plant availability with soil chemical extractions indicated that the combined soluble and exchangeable fractions could estimate available Zn and Cd for all six plant species. For Pb and Cu, however, the comparisons indicate that these two elements were not readily available in Spelter soils. A health risk assessment was carried out for residents at Spelter on the basis of edible tissue concentrations and publicly available consumption data. Uptake of Cd by carrot roots was about five times more than the regulatory limits for men, eight times more for women, and 12 times more for children. On the basis of the results, carrot and lettuce grown in these soils have the potential to cause toxicological problems in men, women, and young children resulting from Cd and Zn accumulation.
