“…Furthermore, one of the most important and overlooked diet constituents today is represented by minerals (Kuppusamy et al, 2016). People have increased interest to incorporate high nutrient levels with sufficient amounts of essential minerals into the regular diet (Alagić et al, 2018), due to their role as structural components of organs (e.g. bones and teeth) and their involvement in many physiological and metabolic processes (Soetan et al, 2010).…”

“…Many substances in waste leachate may be phytotoxic (Sjöberg et al 2014;Machado et al 2016;Gu et al 2018;Sharma et al 2018). Their toxicity depends on the concentration in the leachate.…”

“…Although the physicochemical analyses of waste deliver much information about their toxicity, this information is not enough to evaluate the potential impacts on biota. Complementary phytotoxicity tests are usually used to assess the toxicity of waste (Sjöberg et al 2014;Machado et al 2016;Gu et al 2018;Sharma et al 2018).

The study evaluated the use of Lepidium sativum L. to assess the phytotoxicity of three types of waste such as hazardous waste (slags from zinc to copper smelters) and nonhazardous waste (mineral–organic composite). Previous studies evaluated heavy metal leaching and the environmental impact of the tested waste. The purpose of phytotoxicity studies was to increase knowledge about this waste. Two types of tests were used to assess the phytotoxicity of wastes: germination index and accumulation test. Both tests were carried out for leachate (leachate test) and waste (contact test). The results of both tests were compared to assess the phytotoxic effects of tested waste. Phytotoxicity tests have shown that the mineral–organic composite leachate was stimulated plant growth, copper smelter slag leachate was characterized by no phytotoxicity and zinc slag leachate inhibited the growth of plants. In contrast, contact test showed inhibitory effects from all tested waste. Wherefore, the contact test was indicated as more sensitive in the assessment of phytotoxicity. However, this is not a clear assessment, because the germination index values for both tests were a result of differences of root length for both control samples (deionized water and sand). The study confirmed the usefulness of L. sativum for the assessment of phytotoxicity of various types of waste. Additionally, it was found that L. sativum was resistant to high concentrations of heavy metals in the leachate, without causing any negative physiological effects.

“…Although, it is important to consider that absorption of metals from soil can be strongly influenced by several factors, including redox state, organic matter and clay contents, soil pH, etc. (Alloway 2013;Kabata-Pendias 2011), it has been widely understood that detecting metal levels in plant parts (such as roots) is not a reliable indicator of soil contamination (Alagić et al 2018). Meanwhile, the concentration of metals in aboveground plant parts has been commonly utilized as a convenient method for assessing airborne contamination.…”

With a substantial rise in both domestic and worldwide copper mining rates over the past decade, Iran has become a major producer of copper in the Middle East. The increasing need for copper-based products in a variety of industries, including as information technology, electronics, transportation, and construction, is driving this rise. However, the expansion of copper mining activities has led to environmental degradation, particularly in mining sites where potentially hazardous elements (PTEs) have contaminated the soil. Despite these significant environmental impacts, they have often been overlooked, posing long-term environmental challenges as copper extraction continues. This research extensively reviews the literature (from 2000 to 2023) on soil contamination in Iran’s copper mining districts, focusing on PTEs. It evaluates the extent of potentially hazardous elements’ pollution in soils, comparing findings with global data, and explores remediation strategies employed in these regions. Results suggest that studies predominantly center around the Sarcheshmeh copper mine, highlighting copper, lead, and molybdenum as dominant PTE pollutants. Phytoremediation emerges as the primary remediation method used in these areas, indicating Iran's sustainable approach to addressing potentially hazardous elements’ contamination. This review recommends comprehensive monitoring of PTEs across all Iranian copper mines and further exploration of native plant species that successfully grow and stabilize potentially hazardous elements grow in copper mining areas remediation.
