“…The BAF was calculated separately for mushroom fruit body parts (caps and stipes). The results of BAF were divided into three categories: BAF < 1 indicates excluder species, BAF > 1 indicates accumulators and BAF = 1 indicates indicator species [25][26][27].…”

Three edible mushroom species (Imlera badia, Boletus subtomentosus, Xerocomellus chrysenteron) sampled in 60 different localities of Slovakia were evaluated to determine health risks (associated with mercury content) arising from their consumption. Total content of mercury in soil and mushroom samples was determined by an AMA-254 analyzer. Soil pollution by mercury was evaluated by contamination factor (Cf), pollution load index (PLI), and geoaccumulation index (Igeo). Bioaccumulation factor (BAF), translocation factor (Qc/s), provisional tolerably weekly intake (%PTWI), estimated daily intake (EDI), and target hazard quotient (THQ) were used to describe and compare uptake and transition abilities of mushrooms, and the health risk arising from mushroom consumption. Mercury content in soil significantly influences the content of mercury in mushroom fruiting body parts. Caps and stipes of Boletus subtomentosus were found to be the best mercury accumulator. According to the EDI, consumption of the evaluated mushroom species represents a serious threat for adults and children. The lowest values of THQ were found for Xerocomellus chysenteron.

“…The ability of different tree species to accumulate heavy metals and the nature of their accumulation has been studied by authors such as J. Jonczak et al (2021), in national parks, arboretums, respectively in Lisicine (Croatia) and Mlynany (Slovakia), and in nature reserves.…”

Relict bogs in the northeastern area of the Republic of Kazakhstan are located in close proximity to sources of heavy metal pollution – non-ferrous metal ore mining and processing facilities, and highways. Monitoring of heavy metal transport in the air by means of a bioindicator such as Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is relevant for preventing the damaging effects of heavy metals on the population living in this region. The purpose of this article is to study pine needles (Pinus sylvestris L.) on the territory of the Semipalatinsk Irtysh region and the Burabay National Park to identify the features of the accumulation of heavy metals carried by atmospheric air flows, depending on the age of its formation. To determine the content of chemical elements in needles of the first, second and third year of formation from six experimental plots mass spectrometry method ISO 17294-2׃2003 was used. Its results made it possible to conduct a primary analysis of the accumulation of heavy metals in the needles of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) depending on the year of its formation. General scientific methods were also used in the analytical selection of the scientific literature to formulate the objectives of the experiments and to compare the results obtained with those of other authors. Experimental studies revealed a direct correlation between the increase in concentrations of individual metals and the age of the needles. Furthermore, an increase in concentrations of individual chemical elements has been detected in the conifers of the second year of formation. The findings can be used for further scientific research on the use of pine needles (Pinus sylvestris L.) as a bioindicator, the impact of the heavy metal composition of the north-east of Kazakhstan on plant organisms, but also used in practice to monitor the state of the environment and the management of forests.

“…Comparison of the heavy metal accumulation capacity of different tree species makes it possible to assess the efficiency of their use as bioindicators, depending on the potential combination of chemical elements in the air at different sites, as well as to prioritise their use for the purposes of extraction, accumulation, and purification of air from toxic impurities. 25) The ability of different tree species to accumulate heavy metals and the nature of their accumulation has been studied by authors such as J. Jonczak et al, 26) in national parks, arboretums, respectively in Lisičine (Croatia) and Mlyňany (Slovakia), and in nature reserves. 27) Some authors, such as A. Wegiel et al, 9) take another step in the study of the properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) not only as a bioindicator of heavy metals in atmospheric air and soils, but also as their bioaccumulator for cleaning air and soils from elements harmful to living organisms.…”
