요약 | Resource extraction activities have significantly impacted soil quality and health. In order to protect human health, many studies have been conducted to determine whether crops accumulate contaminants of concern, particularly arsenic and heavy |
요약 | A controlled greenhouse study with four soil treatments was conducted to determine the uptake pattern of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) in arugula, corchorus, and sesame. The soil treatments includ |
요약 | In the initial study, As, Pb, and Hg were translocated throughout the Sesame plant. Bioconcentration factors (BCF) were determined and showed that As, Pb and Hg uptake decreased in the order of: roots > seeds > leaves > pods >stems. The seeds of |
요약 | The three crops showed increasing mean values of all metal(loids) as the percentage of mine tailings increase. Second, we compared these results to: 1) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization's Codex Ali |
요약 | Due to the noteworthy accumulation of As and heavy metals in the selected plants, a phyto-protection strategy was conducted and the intercropping of arugula and the sunflower plants was examined. The sunflower was used to determine whether it ha |
요약 | The findings of this study indicated that sesame, corchorus, and arugula plants can take up As and heavy metals in soils mixed with mine tailings and are able to translocate these contaminants to the edible portions of the plant. This study indi |
