Common plants as alternative analytical tools to monitor heavy metals in soil
BACKGROUND Herbaceous plants are common vegetal species generally exposed, for a limited period of time, to bioavailable environmental pollutants. Heavy metals contamination is the most common form of environmental pollution. Herbaceous plants have never been used as natural bioindicators of environmental pollution, in particular to monitor the amount of heavy metals in soil. In this study, we ...
متن کاملAdaptation of soil biological nitrification to heavy metals.
The adaptive response of soil biological nitrification to Zn and Pb was assessed using an in situ method we have developed. The method is based on reinoculating a sterilized metal contaminated soil with the same soil that is either uncontaminated or has been incubated with metal. This approach excludes the potentially confounding effects of metal aging reactions in soils. We found added Zn conc...
متن کاملResponses of soil enzymes to different heavy metals
Presence of heavy metals (HM) in agricultural soil is a major hazard to the soil-plant system. In the present study, soil samples (0-5 cm depth) were taken in order to determine the effects of heavy metal pollution on soil enzymes like dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase (APA), urease (UA) protease, cellulose, invertase, beta glucosidase and amylase. Results showed that Cadmium (Cd) significant...
متن کاملTransport and Accumulation of Heavy Metals in Undisturbed Soil Columns
The podzolic soils of the Kola Peninsula, Russia, have in localised areas been highly contaminated with copper and nickel from smelting activities. Migration and retention of these metals were investigated in undisturbed soil columns irrigated with simulated background and polluted precipitation in order to study the temporal processes of retention and release within the soil. The mineral layer...
