“…Although the quantity of arsenic present in sunflower shoot is not comparable to that obtained in other studies by using hyper accumulating plants (Wei et al 2010), the results evidenced that the arsenic up taken by sunflower exceeded the limit reported for food crops (1 mg kg -1 ) (Bhattacharya et al 2010). This confirms the estimation made by Warren et al (2003) which states that crops grown in soil with more than 200 mg kg -1 arsenic cause food poisoning. Moreover, consumption of rice and vegetables grown in arsenic contaminated agricultural soils is the second most common route of arsenic poisoning in Bangladesh (Chowdhury 2004).…”

“…Although sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) has been proposed for phyto-extraction purposes because it uptakes relatively high concentrations of metals and can have high biomass yield (Marchiol et al 2007), literature is scarce about its ability to translocate arsenic. Arsenic uptaken by food crops should not exceed the limit of 1 mg kg -1 (Bhattacharya et al 2010) and health hazards for food poisoning might be present when crops grow in soils with arsenic content higher than 200 mg kg -1 (Warren et al 2003).…”

“…The lowest BCFplants value was for As, approximately two orders of magnitude less than for the other elements, indicating very low transfer of As from soil to plants. This agrees with literature where soil-plant transfer coefficients b0.01 are described for this element (Adriano, 2001;Warren et al, 2003). Transference of trace metals from soils to plants decreases with soil concentration increase (McLaughlin, 2001), even showing a plateau when soil concentration exceeds a certain limit (Hamon et al, 1999).…”

“…The concentration of arsenic in cereals, vegetables and fruits is directly related to the level of arsenic in the soil (Kazia et al, 2009). Severe arsenic contamination of soils may cause arsenic toxicity in plants, animals and human (Warren et al, 2003). Remediation of arsenic contaminated soils has thus become a major environmental issue.…”
