“…The bioaccumulation factor determines the capacity of plants to transfer and accumulate heavy metals or other compounds from soils to the aerial part of the plant (Hosseini et al 2022; Korzeniowska & Stanislawska-Glubiak 2019, Roca-Perez et al 2023). This index has been applied to soil-plant system in mining areas (Roca-Perez et al 2023) near road networks (Hosseini et al 2022), rural and urban areas (Pietrelli et al 2023); in urban areas with species of the genus Tilia (Mitrović et al 2021; Mitrovi et al 2023).…”

Urban soil and plant leaves are widely used as ecological indicators to assess the effect of urbanization. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of urbanization based on the elemental concentration of soil and leaves of Tilia europaea from urban, suburban, and rural areas along an urbanization gradient in Debrecen, Hungary. Using the ICP-OES technique, we measured the concentration of Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn and based on the measured concentration, bioaccumulation factor (BAF) was calculated. The highest concentration of all elements was found in soil samples from urban areas, with an increasing tendency along the urbanization gradient. A significant difference was found along the urbanization gradient only for Cr based on the plant leaves. A high BAF value was found for Cu and Sr. Our results suggest that urbanization has a remarkable effect on the elemental concentration of soil, which is a perfect ecological indicator. At the same time, we concluded that the T. europaea was not sensitive enough to indicate the effect of urbanization.

This work studies the use of Cu/Co‐MOFs for the removal of doxycycline hydrochloride (DOC) in wastewater. Cu/Co‐MOFs were prepared using a solvothermal method and characterized by XRD, SEM, and TG. According to the experimental results, the maximum DOC adsorption capacity of Cu/Co‐MOFs within 5 h was 268.5 mg/g. The pseudo‐second‐order (PSO) kinetic model shows that the R2 are all greater than 0.99, which proves that the theory DOC adsorption by Cu/Co‐MOFs is consistent with practice. According to the Freundlich isotherm model, the adsorption of DOC by Cu/Co‐MOFs is a multilayer adsorption. Thus, the results show that Cu/Co‐MOFs have practical application value in removing DOC.

“…Cichorium intybus L. has been identified as an effective plant for the bioindication of cadmium [ 10 ]. Achillea wilhelmsii and Cardaria draba , have been reported as useful plants for bioindication as well as the phyto-stabilization of traffic-related trace metal pollutants [ 11 , 12 ]. Moreover, Fe, Al, Cr, Ni, Sr, V, and Zn levels in Plantago major were correlated to that of soil, confirming the bioindication ability of this species [ 9 ].…”

The Design of Experiment as a Tool to Model Plant Trace-Metal Bioindication Abilities

Bioindicator plants are species that have the capacity to linearly uptake some elements (metal and metalloids) from the growing substrate, thus reflecting their concentration in the soil. Many factors can influence the uptake of these elements by plants, among which is the simultaneous presence of several metals, a common situation in contaminated or natural soils. A novel approach that can be used to validate the bioindication ability of a species growing on a polymetallic substrate is the design of experiment (DoE) approach. The aim of the present study was to apply the DoE in full factorial mode to model the Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cr bioindication capacity of Polygonum aviculare, used as the model plant. The results showed that P. aviculare has the ability to bioindicate Cd and Cr with a linear uptake (from 0.35 to 6.66, and 0.1 to 3.4 mg kg−1, respectively) unaffected by the presence of other metals. Conversely, the uptake of Pb, Cu, and Zn is strongly influenced by the presence of all the studied metals, making their concentration in the plant shoot not proportional to that of the soil. In conclusion, these preliminary results confirmed that the DoE can be used to predict the bioindicator abilities of a plant for several elements at the same time and to evaluate the interactions that can be established between variables in the growing medium and in the plant itself. However, more studies including other plant species are needed to confirm the effectiveness of this method.
