“…In some of the heavily polluted areas, the pH value of the soil is in a constant state of flux. Analyses of these polluted areas have shown a decrease in soil calcium and magnesium concentrations and an increase in soil Pb concentrations [5][6][7]14,15,18,20,27,36]. The response of the soil is very important for plant development, and plant preferences vary greatly in this respect [5,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

“…In phytoremediation, plants use mechanisms such as phytostabilization, phytoextraction, rhizodegradation, and phytovolatilization to stabilize (passive phytoremediation) or absorb (active phytoremediation) contaminants from their growing environment [4,[11][12][13]16,21,29,33,34]. The macrophyte Phragmites Australis (common reed) is a plant species often proposed for use in the phytoextraction mechanism [1,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Phragmites Australis (common reed) is a wetland plant species that can cover large areas in shallow beds of water.…”

In the present study, heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Zn, Pb, As) from former industrial areas were analyzed in soil and the plant species Phragmites Australis (common reed), a plant species found in shallow river banks. The objectives of the study were to determine the accumulation, translocation, and enrichment capacity of soils and plants (root, stem, leaf, and flower) with heavy metals, and to evaluate the potential of the plant species Phragmites Australis (common reed) in the phytoremediation of heavy-metal-polluted soils. The sediments and plants investigated were particularly rich in heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Pb, and As, and Pb and Zn concentrations were determined to be of phytotoxic level. The highest transfer coefficient of heavy metals from the soil to the root of the plant species Phragmites Australis (common reed) was for the metals Cu and Zn. The transfer of heavy metals from the root of the plant species Phragmites Australis (common reed) to the aerial part of the plant was lowest for Cu. A very low enrichment factor value was recorded for the metal As. The mobility of heavy metals was generally higher from the sediment to the plant roots, with the order of the average transfer coefficient values being Cu > Zn > Pb > As for all three areas analyzed. The translocation of heavy metals from the root to the upper aerial part of the plant was in the form of As > Pb > Zn > Cu in the plant species Phragmites australis (common reed). According to the average values obtained for the three coefficients, the accumulation, translocation, and enrichment capacity of heavy metals in soil and the plant species Phragmites Australis (common reed), it can be stated that the plant species Phragmites Australis (common reed) is very suitable for use in the process of soil remediation by phytoremediation.

“…The low TF for Na, Fe, Cr and Ni in the aboveground parts of P. australis can be explained by the absorption and/or adsorption of ions from the aqueous solution through the roots, as the shoots under normal conditions do not play such a role [92]. The low TF values for nickel can be further justified by the fact that nickel is preferentially adsorbed by mineral components [102]. Additionally, Bonanno et al [81] In the case of Na, Fe, Cr and Ni, no transposition into the aboveground parts of P. australis was observed, either after exposure to the leachate from both active and closed facilities or in the control sample.…”

One of the key problems associated with the functioning of landfills is the generation of leachate. In order to reduce their negative impact on the environment, various treatment technologies are applied. Among them, solutions based on the use of phytotechnology deserve special attention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of landfill leachate on the content of micro- and macroelements in plant material. The research was carried out in four municipal waste landfills located in Poland. Emergent macrophytes (P. australis) and submergent macrophytes (C. demersum) were used in this research. The migration and distribution of pollutants reaching the roots and shoots of P. australis from water solutions were also studied. The concentrations of heavy metals in the studied plants were low in all analysed cases. Higher metal contents could often be observed in roots rather than in shoots, but these differences were insignificant. The chemical composition of the studied plant samples was primarily related to the source of origin of the treated leachate (landfill), as clearly demonstrated by cluster analysis. In the conducted studies, no important differences were noted in the accumulation of the studied components between submergent plants (C. demersum) and emergent macrophytes (P. australis).
