“…Heavy metals are among the most harmful environmental pollutants and because of that many publications are devoted to their effects on plants and soil in the areas close to main roads and motorways (Van Bohemen and Van Malinowska et al, 2015). Yet, not much research has been done to study soil and plant contamination around agricultural fields.…”

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to determine cadmium, lead and nickel concentration in different herb plants and in the soil collected in the areas close to winter wheat and grain maize fields. The following herbs were analyzed: Achillea millefolium, Cichorium intybus L., Equisetum arvense, Polygonum persicaria, Plantago lanceolata L., and Plantago major L.. They were sampled one and ten meters away from the edge of the fields. The plants, 70 of each species, were collected during the flowering stage from 1 to 20 July 2014. At the same places soil samples were taken. Cadmium, lead and nickel concentration was determined with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. All the herbs growing near the wheat field, except for Cichorium intybus L., had lead concentration above the limit. For other metals the concentration was below the limits set for dried herbs. Herbs plants growing close to the wheat field had a higher concentration of heavy metals than the same plants growing near the grain maize field. The average concentration of cadmium, lead and nickel in the soil around the fields was much lower than the concentration of the same metals in average, non-contaminated soil. In the soil-plant system the highest accumulation coefficient of heavy metals was for cadmium, then for nickel while the lowest was for lead.

“…The other two herb species P. lanceolata L. and E. arvense contained residues of two active substances each, diphenylamine and tebuconazole, both being herbicides, as well as tebuconazole and chlorpyrifos-ethyl, which are insecticides. Malinowska et al ( 2015 ) report that tebuconazole was frequently found in cereal grains in 2013. Plants containing more than one residue are exceptionally toxic to humans (Wang et al 2008 ).…”

The aim of this paper was to assess residue content of plant protection products in selected herbs: Achillea millefolium L., Cichorium intybus L., Equisetum arvense L., Polygonum persicaria L., Plantago lanceolata L., and Plantago major L. The study comprises herbs growing in their natural habitat, 1 and 10 m away from crop fields. The herbs, 30 plants of each species, were sampled during the flowering stage between 1 and 20 July 2014. Pesticide residue content was measured with the QuECHERS method in the dry matter of leaves, stalks, and inflorescence, all mixed together. Out of six herb species growing close to wheat and maize fields, pesticide residues were found in three species: A. millefolium L., E. arvense L., and P. lanceolata L. Most plants containing the residues grew 1 m away from the wheat field. Two active substances of fungicides were found: diphenylamine and tebuconazole, and one active substance of insecticides: chlorpyrifos-ethyl. Those substances are illegal to use on herbal plants. Samples of E. arvense L. and P. lanceolata L. contained two active substances each, which constituted 10 % of all samples, while A. millefolium L. contained one substance, which is 6.6 % of all samples.

“…The presence of herbicides may adversely affect human and animal health due to bioaccumulation of residues in crop produce . The results of the audit on pesticide residues in cereal grains throughout Poland in 2013 shows that 34% of samples of cereal grains contained such residues but below the maximum allowed residue limit, 3% contained residues over the maximum allowed limit, and 1% of the samples contained illegal substances in the samples analyzed . In contrast, in Kazakhstan, 8.75% of cereal grains contained pesticides above maximum allowed residue levels .…”

Influence of microbial and chemical contaminants on the yield and quality of ethanol from wheat grains

et al. 2018

BACKGROUND: Higher alcohols and esters have a negative impact on ethanol quality; therefore, to analyze the influence of mycotoxins and pesticides on higher alcohols and esters formation during ethanol production from contaminated cereal grains is of outstanding importance. RESULTS:In this study, the yield of ethanol and the composition of volatile by-products (acetaldehyde, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methanol, propanol, isobutanol, amyl and isoamyl alcohols) after fermentation of wheat grains artificially contaminated with Fusarium sporotrichioides and pesticides (triasulfuron and sulfosulfuron) were analyzed. Wheat grains contamination with triasulfuron significantly reduced ethanol yield and increased isobutanol and ethyl acetate content. Moreover, wheat grains infection with F. sporotrichioides significantly increased methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isobutanol, and amyl and isoamyl alcohols content. Significant differences between pesticides and wheat variety on volatile compounds formation in ethanol has been estimated. CONCLUSION:The results showed that grains contaminated with F. sporotrichioides and pesticides significantly influenced the process of alcoholic fermentation that leads to variation of by-products in ethanol, including higher alcohols, esters, and aldehydes.
