Testing of metal accumulation of weeds in contaminated area
Abstract
In the last few decades, the remediation of contaminated areas with weeds is getting more and more attention. In this work we studied the metal (Al, Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn) accumulation potential of Chenopodium album L. and Tripleurospermum inodorum (L.) Sch. Bip. based on the elemental concentration in roots, stem and leaves. Furthermore, we studied the correlation in metal concentration between soil and plant samples. Our results demonstrated that both species had low metal accumulation potential, compared to results from previous studies. Among plant parts of the species, we found leaves as the main metal accumulator organ. We indicated significant correlations in metal concentration between soil and plant species. We suggested that both C. album and T. inodorum can be successfully applied as metal accumulators, primarily due to high concentrations in leaves.
