“…Excessive Cr exposure has been associated with constraints, metallic minerals, chromosome damage, and kidney and liver abnormalities. The study by Sungur et al (2013), determined the accumulation of Cr in 22 species of medicinal plants, which were collected from ve different local herbalists in Hatay, Turkey, using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The highest Cr concentrations were detected in chamomile (4.21 ± 0.18 mg/kg) and the lowest in Riesen fenchel (Ferula communis) (0.33 ± 0.01 mg/kg).…”

Most of the world's population relies on medicinal plants as their main source of healthcare. Therefore, it is crucial to ascertain the amount of heavy metals accumulated in medicinal plants. In this study, elements (Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, S, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Cd, V, Cr, Ni, Ag, Be, Sr, Ba, Al, Pb, Bi, Rb, B, As, and Sb) found in Celtis tournefortii Lam and Prosopis farcta that were gathered from the Mazne sub-district of Kurdistan in Iraq were identified. Using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), concentrations of 25 elements in the leaves, fruit (Celtis tournefortii Lam), pod, and seed (Prosopis farcta) were identified. An exploratory study of samples was conducted using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). For Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and As. The elements quantified by ppm are: Ca (3403–81948), Mg (1573–7578 ), Na (108–291), K (6481–23212), Fe (184–623), Cu (8–16), Zn (3–48), Se (0.5–33), Cd (0.11–0.40 ppm), V (1–3), Cr (2–25), Ni (2–4), Ag (0.5–1.7), Be (0.20–0.40), Sr (79.3–454), B (3–86), Al (100–738), Bi (0.7–2.30), Rb (1–7), B (0.7–2.3), As (0.1–3.9), Sb (6.60–12). All of the samples under investigation contained similar levels of phosphorus and lead (218 and 1, respectively). The samples were divided into three major categories, as demonstrated by PCA and HCA. According to the findings, the fruit of Celtis tournefortii Lam is a source of Mg, K, Cu, Cd, Cr, Be, Sr, Ba, and Rb. The seeds of Prosopis farcta had accumulated a significant level of S, Zn, Se, and Ni. The data usually implies that using these plants poses a risk to people.

“…During the last few decades, many studies have focused on trace element analyses and heavy metal accumulation in environment since monitoring of pollution and its effect on plant and animal species in natural habitats is vital (Sungur et al, 2013;Ozturk et al, 2017;Ghori et al, 2019;Ozturk et al, 2019;Karahan et al, 2020;Haq et al, 2021;Ozyigit, 2021;Ozyigit et al, 2022). However, studies on mineral nutrient and heavy metal accumulations in organisms living especially in aquatic ecosystems are very limited (Kaptan and Tekin-Ozan, 2014;Yilmaz et al, 2015;Yilmaz et al, 2021a,b).…”

Aquatic ecosystems contain communities of organisms that are dependent on each other and on their environment. Monitoring of trace element and heavy metal concentrations is important to understand the possible environmental risks in natural aquatic environments. In the present study, concentrations of some heavy metals and trace elements in aquatic plant Ranunculus sphaerospermus, sediments, and water samples of Volcanic Haydarlar Lake were analysed by using ICP-OES. The concentrations were found in the following ranges: 82.11 – 97.38, 9174.50 – 9942.29, and 0.63 – 0.89 for Al; 10.29 – 17.43, 30.60 – 55.60, and 0.81 – 0.98 for B; 1038.44 – 1682.30, 4017.26 – 4503.54, and 1276.61 – 1541.41 for Ca; 120.69 – 178.41, 6894.50 – 8103.47, and 0.51 – 0.69 for Fe; 2503.51 – 2983.38, 1118.50 – 1693.38, and 69.43 – 93.82 for K; 563.38 – 783.22, 885.32 – 1122.47, and 108.55 – 143.36 for Mg in the plant (mg kg−1), sediment (mg kg−1), and water (mg L−1) samples, respectively. The concentrations of Al, Ca, Fe, and K elements in sediments and the content of Ca and K in lake water samples were found as higher than the acceptable limit, while concentrations of all elements in R. sphaerospermus were determined to be within acceptable limits. Transfer factors (TF) of the heavy metal and essential elements from sediment to the plant samples were evaluated. The trends of TF for all samples studied were in the following order: K>Mg>B>Ca>Fe>Al. Consequently, the approach used in this study could contribute to pollution monitoring in the future.
