“…4 depicts concentration of copper accumulated by the roots of P. australis. The development of some new industries in the case study had a meaningful role in increasing of heavy metals as well documented already [18]. The heavy metal pollution was reported in aquatic ecosystems in Iran especially in lentic freshwater ecosystems like wetland [19], so to preserve the environment of the pollution is seriously recommended.…”

Background: Aras River is the main source of drinking water supply in northwestern provinces of Iran. The present study aimed to determine the concentration of heavy metals in the river on the border between Iran and Armenia.Methods: Three samples were taken from the Aras river water, the river bottom sediments and the root of Phragmites australis. In water sampling, the concentration of Hg, Mo, Cu, C o, B, Cd, Ni, Zn, Pb, Al, Mn, Cr, and Fe was noticed while in sediment sampling, to measure the concentration of Cu and Mo. In samples taken from the plant root, the concentration of Cu was only analyzed. The water sampling was performed at 11 stations along the river course during four seasons fall, winter, spring and summer 2011. Results:The highest and lowest concentrations respectively belonged to Al (2600 ppb) and Cd (0.4 ppb). Parameters including B, Cu, Mo and Al were all higher than the standard limits. The results obtained from sediment and root sampling indicated that the concentration of Cu exceeds the standard.Conclusion: Poor quality of Aras River reveals to the necessity of implementing mitigation measures to improve the water quality of the river.

“…It helps in evaluating soil fertility and nutrient management practices [44]. Determination of heavy metal concentrations in soils: AAS is widely used to determine the concentrations of heavy metals in soil samples, such as lead, copper, and zinc, which can have harmful effects on the environment and human health [23], [45], [46]. Many studies have been conducted on analyzing heavy metals in agricultural soils using the AAS analytical technique, from old to advanced.…”

“…Microbial pollution: Soil can become contaminated with pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites from agricultural activities, which can pose a risk to human and animal health [21], [22]. Heavy metals are a type of environmental pollutant that can enter the environment through various industrial and agricultural activities such as the disposal of solid waste, application of fertilizers and pesticides, irrigation with wastewater, and the release of urban and industrial wastes and automobile exhausts [1], [4], [23]- [26]. These heavy metals are naturally occurring elements in the earth's crust and are persistent, remaining in aqueous and terrestrial environments for extended periods [12], [27].…”

The presence of heavy metals in the environment presents a significant concern, as it poses a substantial threat to both human health and food safety. Accurate measurement and identification of heavy metals in diverse sample types, encompassing water, soil, food, and biological materials, necessitate utilizing various spectroscopic techniques. In this comprehensive review, a meticulous examination of three prevalent methodologies employed for heavy metal analysis in soil is undertaken: Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). An elaborate exposition of the operational principles underlying each method is provided, their respective strengths and limitations are delineated, and the specific contexts in which they find application are elucidated. Furthermore, recent developments and forthcoming prospects associated with each of these techniques are elucidated, underscoring the potential advantages of their combined use alongside other analytical modalities to augment precision and speed in heavy metal analysis. The analysis emphasizes that (ICP-OES), LIBS, and AAS offer distinct capabilities and restrictions within the domain of heavy metal detection. Selecting the most appropriate technique hinges on the prerequisites and situational aspects characterizing each analytical challenge. This review furnishes a holistic comprehension of these analytical methodologies, underscoring their pivotal role in addressing the pressing issue of heavy metal contamination and providing valuable insights for optimizing the selection and application of these techniques in environmental and food safety assessments.
