“…Quarry activity has the potential to destroying habitats and species Mabogunje [10]. Onyedika & Nwosu [11], Oluyemi et al [12] and Ashraf et al [13] suggested that quarrying activities are well known for their deleterious effect on the environment due to the deposition of large volume of waste on the soil. Ezeaku [14] then observed that exposure of the soil to run-off and the release of harmful minerals and chemicals through quarry activities contaminate soil, water, plant and air quality.…”

The concern that quarry activities threaten the sustainability of total environment in many developing countries is on the increase. To address this issue with affordable solution, Iyuku community of Auchi, Nigeria, has been investigated. Field study found micro to mega cracks on the wall of structures, often causing collapse. Abandoned pits turn pond, causing groundwater pollution, and breed disease vectors. Noise from rock blasting and other quarry operations are responsible for loss of biodiversity particularly birds. Soil samples were collected at depths 0-15 and 15-30 cm from the three quarry sites and from a control, 1 km off the quarry sites, against the direction of drainage. Water sample was also collected from an abandoned quarry pit turned pond. These samples were analyzed for heavy metals and physico-chemical properties. Atomic Absorption Spectrophometer (VGP 210 Bulk scientific) was used for heavy metal analysis and Flame photometer (M410 SHERWOOD) was used to measure sodium and potassium. All physico-chemical properties and heavy metals tested of the soil showed positive anomaly with the control (background values), confirming total degradation and unsustainable mining practice. Future study will focus on the chemistry and level of dust in ambient air, and how to minimize blasting vibrations and noise level in the area.

“…5. The capacity, performance and ability of vegetation to accumulate Pb for root, leaf and stem of mangrove vegetation's are determined as Bioaccumulation Factor of Pb (BAF) of Pb (Yoon et al, 2006;Ahmadpour, 2012;Buwono et al, 2005;Madejon et al,2006;Ang et al,2010;Ashraf et al,2011;Madjid et al,2011;Maldonado-Magna, 2011). BAF is determined by ratio between Pb accumulation of mangrove vegetation with sediment.…”

“…BAF is determined by ratio between Pb accumulation of mangrove vegetation with sediment. The score of BAF has range between 0 until more than 1 (Madejon et al,2006;Ang et al,2010;Ashraf et al,2011;Madjid et al,2011;Maldonado-Magna, 2011). If BAF > 1 this gives indication that mangrove species has best ability to accumulate Pb.…”

“…TF is formulated by comparison between the accumulation of Pb of leaf and stem with root. If TF score > 1 gave indication that vegetation has high ability to absorb and translocate Pb contaminant (Maldonado-Magaña, 2011;Ahmadpour et al, 2012;Arifin et al, 2012;Branzini and Zubillaga, 2013;Madejon et al,2006;Ang et al,2010;Ashraf et al,2011;Madjid et al,2011;Maldonado-Magna, 2011). The accumulation of Pb in mangrove vegetation's also showed the positive correlation between the tolerance of mangrove vegetation with capacity to reduce impact of Pb pollution with precipitation, membrane filtration, electrolyte or liquid extraction, electro dialysis and reversed osmosis activity (Oo, et al, 2009).…”

Eastern part of Segara Anakan Lagoon (E-SAL) is an estuarine ecosystem to dispose industrial waste i.e. lead (Pb) containing waste. The study aims to analysis the distribution of Pb in soil, water and mangrove vegetation matrices. Several parameters including bioaccumulation factor (BAF), translocation factor (TF), leaf morphometric (the effect of Pb for mangrove vegetation) were used to estimate their impact. We developed a pre-design of mangrove zone as a model in reducing Pb cntaminantion in E-SAL. The results showed the distribution of Pb in E-SAL was 0.177 -0.233 mg/L (water), 0.320 -0.780 mg/kg (soil), 4.80-8.67 mg/kg (mangrove root), 2.48-6.96 mg/kg (mangrove stem), and 1.48-4.76 mg/kg (mangrove leaf). The scoring of BAF in mangrove vegetation had value between 22.2-40.1 and TF between 0.9-1.3. The distribution of Pb in soil depths were 8.89 mg/kg (0-50 cm) to 0.56 mg/kg (150-200 cm). The impact of Pb was 2-60 % of leaf damage on surface leafs. The mangrove zone to reduce impact of Pb in E-SAL was Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera sexangula, Aegiceras corniculatum and Sonneratia caseolaris as mangrove species in the first zone.

Heavy metals can represent a threat to the health of aquatic ecosystems. Unlike organic chemicals, heavy metals cannot be eliminated by natural processes such as their degradation into less toxic compounds, and this creates unique challenges for their remediation from soil, water, and air. Phytoremediation, defined as the use of plants for the removal of environmental contaminants, has many benefits compared to other pollution-reducing methods. Phytoremediation is simple, efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly because it can be carried out at the polluted site, which simplifies logistics and minimizes exposure to humans and wildlife. Macrophytes represent a unique tool to remediate diverse environmental media since they can accumulate heavy metals from contaminated sediment via roots, from water via submerged leaves, and from air via emergent shoots. In this review, a synopsis is presented about how plants, especially macrophytes, respond to heavy metal stress and we propose potential roles that phytohormones can play in the alleviation of metal toxicity in the aquatic environment. We focus on the uptake, translocation, and accumulation mechanisms of heavy metals in organs of macrophytes and give examples of how phytohormones interact with plant defense systems under heavy metal exposure. We advocate for a more in-depth understanding of these processes to inform more effective metal remediation techniques from metal-polluted waterbodies.
