“…The authors calculated the BCF on the basis of the total metal contents, so their values do not fully correlate with the results presented in this study. Regardless of this fact, the BCF A values ranged from 0.17 to 0.42 for lupine, from 0.22 to 0.42 for camelina and from 0.11 to 0.22 for oat and they were similar to the data cited in reference publications [6,24,40]. The BCF Fr.1 values were much higher, i.e., from 1.63 to 2.95 for lupine, from 2.57 to 3.43 for camelina and from 1.45 to 1.78 for oat.…”

“…The bioconcentration factor (BCF) is widely used to assess the toxicity of heavy metals as well as their translocations from soil to plants [5,24,[36][37][38]. According to [39], the bioaccumulation values rather than the total contents of heavy metals should be taken into consideration.…”

“…Moreover, there is another concept to ensure a reliable assessment of the plant contamination level. One can hypothesise that both bioconcentration factors (BCF A , BCF Fr.1 ) and coefficient of contamination level (CCL) may precisely describe the migration of heavy metals from soil to plants, their uptake and the potential toxic effect [24]. Scientific publications provide very little data on this issue.…”

The study discusses changes in lead contents in soil and crops after application of compost and fly ash. A three-year experiment was conducted on narrow-leaved lupine (Lupinus angustifolius L.), camelina (Camelina sativa L.) and oat (Avena sativa L.), which were grown on medium soil fertilised with compost or fly ash (FA). The lead amounts in various combinations were evaluated using sequential (BCR analysis) and single (DTPA solution) methods. The total contents of lead and amounts of selected macronutrients were assessed in the biomass of plants. The Pb contents in the soil and plants were used to calculate the risk assessment code (RAC), individual contamination factor (ICF), bioconcentration factor (BCF) and contamination coefficient level (CCL). Lower amounts of bioavailable Pb in the soil were observed as a result of compost and FA application. Fly ash immobilised Pb more effectively, as evidenced by the BCF and CCL values. The increase in the Pb contents in the sequentially separated fractions and in plant biomass were caused by applied compost or FA. The Pb contents in exchangeable forms decreased, whereas its contents in residual forms increased.

“…Regardless of the used materials, the final effect is similar-reduction in heavy metal mobility and bioavailability for plants. The potential application of organic or alkali substances for remediation processes of soils contaminated with heavy metals has been underlined by various authors [7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Binding of metals by organic matter or formation of insoluble compounds under alkali conditions leads to restricted metal uptake by plants and consequently prevents the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the food chain.…”

Soil contamination with heavy metals is one of the most important threats to the environment because they are easily incorporated into the food chain, threatening the health of plants, animals, and humans. In this study, the effectiveness of the introduced substances (compost and fly ash) was assessed in terms of its influence on the content of Cu and Zn in the soil, potential accumulation of these metals in the cultivated plants (camelina and oat), and thus in food products prepared from these plants. Therefore, the following indicators were used: bioconcentration factors calculated for the total amount (BCFT) and bioavailable amount of metals (BCFB) as well as gender-estimated daily intake (EDI) and health risk index (HRI). Regardless of gender, the EDI values ranged from 0.31 µg·kg−1 to 0.49 µg·kg−1 for Cu and from 0.9 µg·kg−1 to 1.8 µg·kg−1 for Zn in oat. For camelina, the calculated values were as follows: 4.1–8.5 µg·kg−1 for Cu and 7.1–12.1 µg·kg−1 for Zn. The HRI values were very low (in general 0.03–0.2), indicating no health risk connected with potential consumption of oat or camelina food products. The amounts of Cu and Zn in the crops grown on the soil amended with compost or fly ash were significantly lower (by 21–37% for oat and 14–34% for camelina) compared to the content of these metals in the control plants. Moreover, the levels of bioavailable metals decreased in soil as a result of the applied immobilizing agents. The study showed that the immobilization efficiency of compost and fly ash was comparable, and therefore the choice of either of these substances for the chemical remediation of soil contaminated with heavy metals is justified.
