Uptake of Pb, Zn and Cu by roots and shoots of fast growing plants grown in contaminated soil in Vietnam

Abstract: The phytoremediation of soil contaminated with lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) from industrial wastewater discharge in a farming village near Hanoi City was investigated. The first growing plant species tested were the Spanish needle, water primrose, common willow herb, and water spinach. Uptake by roots and shoots per unit land area for each species was calculated and compared. The uptake of the heavy metals per unit area was higher in shoots than in roots for each plant species and was affected by the h… Show more

“…The increased number of tillers per clump results in higher dry weight thus increased chromium uptake by plants. This was in accordance with research by Thanh et al (2013) which shows that the increased biomass affects the increase in heavy metal uptake by plants. The higher chromium uptake by plant caused decreased chromium levels in soil so that the removal effectivity increased.…”

“…Spinach also can accumulate heavy metals, such as Pb, due to a greater translocation capacity for Pb compared to other plant species (Kumar et al, 2013). Thanh et al (2013) and Khan et al (2016) point out that the capacity of plants to absorb Pb depends on each plant species, so this was observed in the present research with spinach showing higher levels of foliar Pb than in the other two plant species.…”

“…Copper is generally found near mines, industrial sites and waste disposal sites. Copper does not decompose in the environment, and for this reason, when it is in the soil, it accumulates in plants and animals [101]. In copper-rich soils, a limited number of plants have a chance of survival.…”
