Assessment of Heavy Metal Accumulations (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in Vegetables and Soils.

In this study, the lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf. samples were collected from Çat Forests near the village of Sızır in Sivas province and exposed in bags in 29 different sites of Kayseri city, Turkey. The elements ...

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of Cd, Co and Cr on the growth of watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and to determine the bioaccumulation properties of these heavy metals by the plant. N. officinale ...

In this study, we determined the heavy metal content (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the soils and different organs of Asphodelus aestivus Brot. (Walter). from degraded areas in the Mediterranean environment from ...

Aquatic plants have been identified as potentially useful for accumulating and bioconcentrating heavy metals. This study was developed to test the hypothesis that nutrient enrichment enhances the metal tolerance of floating ...

Many of the plants found in serpentine areas are endemics and they may accumulate Ni at high concentration. High accumulation of Cr is rare, or in some views, never properly demonstrated. Generally, a very small proportion ...

Parietaria judaica L. (Spreading pellitory) is a herbaceous plant that grows wildly in the urban areas in Turkey. Leaves of P. judaica were tested as a possible biomonitor of heavy metal pollution in Istanbul. Fifty three ...

t In this study, we determined the heavy metal content (Cd2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+) in the soil surrounding the roots and different organs of Verbascum bombyciferum Boiss. (Scrophulariaceae), which ...
