“…Different plant species accumulate different heavy metals at different levels [12,29]. Distinct parts of a single plant species also accumulate different levels of heavy metals [30][31]. Heavy metal accumulation in plants can also change seasonally [16][17][18][19]32].…”

Millions of people worldwide die from air pollution every year. Because of the intensification of air pollution in urban centers, it poses a great risk-especially for people with various health problems [1-8]. Heavy metals hold a special place among the components of the air pollution. They cannot be destroyed or degraded in nature. They also tend to bioaccumulate in organisms. Thus, determining heavy metal concentration is of paramount importance for the identification of risk areas and levels [9]. A great volume of research has proven the significant effects of atmospheric heavy metal pollution on human health. A recent study has revealed that in 1952, 4,000 people died from heavy metal-induced damage to respiratory systems and reported high levels of heavy metals in their lungs, including Pb, Zn, and Fe [10].

“…However, our results show that the relationship between contaminant concentration in the medium and exposure time of plants were determinant factors in total absorption levels obtained. It can be inferred that time is a key factor in the absorption process as it is difficult to control in phytoremediation processes, considering plant physiological mechanisms and their relationship with the absorption and accumulation of metals (Grant et al, 1998;Souza et al, 2009;Yabanli et al, 2014).…”

“…The processes of translocation and compartmentalisation of metals in macrophytes are known (Fett et al, 1994;Grant et al, 1998;Souza et al, 2009;Yabanli et al, 2014). However, for some species, such as E. crassipes, this mechanism is not fully elucidated.…”

Different factors can influence the absorption and storage of substances in plant biomass. In this study, we evaluated the effect of copper concentration in growth medium and plant exposure time on copper accumulation in Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. (Pontederiaceae) roots and leaves under controlled conditions. Plants were subjected to four treatments of copper concentrations of 1, 3 and 5 μg.mL -1 , with a control treatment of 0 μg.mL -1, and evaluated at seven-day intervals over 21 days. Copper concentration in biomass was analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy with flame atomisation. The results showed that copper concentration in the growth medium and time of exposure had a significant effect on the amount of copper accumulated by E. crassipes roots and leaves, with roots more efficient compared to leaves. It is likely that E. crassipes has mechanisms for the translocation of metal from the root system to the leaves. Symptoms of copper toxicity were observed in the vegetative parts of the plants at the end of the experiments. This study demonstrates that E. crassipes presents great potential in the absorption and accumulation of copper under laboratory conditions, indicating its effectiveness for applications in phytoremediation processes.

“…A very strong positive correlation was recorded between Fe vs Al (0.992), Mn vs Cu (0.948), Fe vs Mn (0.939), Zn vs Al (0.929), Fe vs Zn (0.920) in water. Murat et al, (2014) investigated the heavy metal accumulation in the leaves, stem and root of the invasive submerged Macrophyte Myriophyllum spicatum. According to the factor data of bioconcentration, the order of heavy metal accumulation in the plant was As > Cr > Pb > Hg > Cd.…”

Leafy vegetables and tubers contaminated by heavy metals will cause potential health risk to human beings. An analysis was carried out to study the heavy metal contamination in tubers and leafy vegetables at Kottayam district, Kerala. The results indicated that higher levels of lead were recorded in all of the samples analyzed when compared to the WHO permissible limits (0.1 mg/kg) for tubers and leafy vegetables, except in Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott., collected from Erattupetta market. Cadmium content was higher in both the tubers and leafy vegetables collected from Changanacherry market. Therefore, regular assessment of the accumulation of heavy metals in leafy vegetables and tubers is the need of the era.
