“…Due to the great reactivity of sulfide wastes, their isolation from the atmosphere may be the best solution for rehabilitation. Mandzhieva et al (2015) assessed the plant contamination by Ni, Mn, Cd, Cu, Pb, Cr, and Zn in the impact zone of NovocherKassk Power Station (NPS), Rostov-on-Don, Russia. The results of long-term monitoring observations showed an increase of all studied heavy metal (HM) concentrations in the wild plants growing within 5 km from the NPS along the predominant wind direction, indicating that the NPS is the main source of aerotechnogenic contamination of plants and soils with the studied HMs on this area.…”

“…Novocherkassk Power Station is one of the largest power plants of the Russia Federation; it is the principal source of contaminants in Novocherkassk, because it is located only 7.5 km southeast of the city. The Novocherkassk Power Station (NPS) produces 1 % of the emissions across the territory of the Russia Federation and more than 50 % over the Rostov Region (Mandzhieva et al, 2016). The power station emits annually 250000 tons of contaminants, which include heavy metals (HMs), which are deposited on the soil (Ecological Bulletin of the Don Region, 2015;Public report, 2015;.…”

The effect of natural and technogenic factors on the Cu, Ni, Mn, Pb, Cd, and As compounds mobility and transformation were studied from an analysis of the fractional-group composition of Cu, Zn, and Pb compounds in the soils of areas adjacent to the Novocherkassk power station. Novocherkassk Power Station is one of the largest power plants at the South of the Russian Federation. The soils sampled from the non-arable sites at different distances from the Power Station. The investigated soils were meadowy chernozem, calcareous chernozem, and alluvialmeadowy soil. The total concentration of metals was determined by the X-ray-fluorescent method. Mobile forms of metals include exchangeable, complex and specifically adsorbed compounds were determined. The fractionation method by was applied for metal compounds determination. Changes in the composition of Cu, Zn, and Pb compounds in the soils of technogenic landscapes were estimated. The effect of aerosol technogenic emissions on the mobility of metal compounds was revealed; a higher metal mobility was found in soils with low buffering capacity. Common and specific features of the formation of Cu, Zn, and Pb compounds in soils were determined. The role of individual soil components in the retention of metals in clean and contaminated soils was established.

“…Plant species vary in their capacity to accumulate or tolerate PTEs in their vegetative aerial structures (leaves and stems) and roots. This capacity is determined by the level of pollution present in the soil, the physiological features of the species, and their selectivity for PTEs (Domínguez et al, 2012;Kashin & Ubugunov, 2012;Kashin, 2014;Mandzhieva et al, 2016;Tapia et al, 2020). In this regard, surveying the spontaneous vegetation growing in polluted sites is an efficient approach for identifying plants that may be useful both for phytostabilization and phytoextraction purposes (Bech et al, 2002;Chapman et al, 2019;Conesa et al, 2006;Freitas & Pacheco, 2004;Ginocchio & Baker, 2004;Liu et al, 2014;Monaci et al, 2020;Moreno-Jiménez et al, 2009;Poschenrieder et al, 2001;Pratas et al, 2005;Salt et al, 1995).…”

Phytomanagement techniques using native species allow the recovery of contaminated soils at low cost and circumvent the ecological risks associated with the use of non-native species. In this context, a paradigmatic brownfield megasite highly contaminated by As and Pb was sampled in order to analyze soil–plant interactions and identify plant species with phytoremediation potential. A survey was first carried out in a 20-ha area to obtain an inventory of species growing spontaneously throughout the site. We then performed another survey in the most polluted sub-area (1 ha) within the site. Pseudototal concentrations of contaminants in the soil, aerial parts of the plants, and roots were measured by ICP-MS. A detailed habitat classification was done, and a specific index of coverage was applied by means of a 1-year quadrat study in various sampling stations. Results converged in the selection of six herbaceous species (Dysphania botrys, Lotus corniculatus, Lotus hispidus, Plantago lanceolata, Trifolium repens, Medicago lupulina). All of these plants are fast-growing, thereby making them suitable for use in phytostabilization strategies. Furthermore, they are all easy to grow and propagate and are generally self-sustaining. All six plants showed accumulation factors below 1, thus revealing them as pseudomethallophytes and excluders. However, L. hispidus and M. lupulina showed translocation capacity and are considered worthy of further study.
