“…Few studies have reported the use of AMP grown on polluted soils to produce EOs (Zheljazkov et al 2008;Angelova et al 2016;Seyedalikhani et al 2020). The soil-plant transfer of Cd, Pb and Cu in polluted plots was low and the authors concluded that AMP such as Ocimum basilicum L. (basil), Mentha x piperita L. (peppermint), coriander and Salvia officinalis L. did not accumulate Cd, Pb and Cu in aerial parts and that the hydrodistillation of basil, peppermint and sage led to a limited transfer of Cu, Cd and Pb in EO, which suggested that these EO could be marketed (Zheljazkov et al,.…”

Phytomanagement uses plants and soil conditioners to create value on contaminated land while minimising environmental risk. This work was carried out on a metal(loid)-contaminated site and aimed at assessing the suitability of Salvia sclarea L. (sage) and Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander) combined with an Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (AMF) inoculant to immobilise metal(loid)s and produce essential oils (EO). The effect of the inoculant on the transfer of metal(loid)s (ML, i.e. Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Ni, and Sb) to plants and the ML soil mobility were investigated. The ML concentrations in EO from both plant species and the valorisation options for the distillation residues (soil conditioner, animal fodder, and anaerobic digestion) were studied. Sage was a suitable candidate for this value chain because it presents an excluder phenotype and the residues of oil extraction could be used as a soil conditioner. The metal concentrations in the sage EO were similar to those obtained from plants cultivated on an uncontaminated soil. These results indicate the suitability of sage harvested on the contaminated soil according to the ML fate in the whole value chain. Like the EO of sage, ML concentrations in the coriander 2 EO did not differ from those in the commercial EO that were obtained from plants grown on uncontaminated soil.However, the use of distillation residues of coriander was limited by their relatively elevated Cd concentrations.The use of a mycorrhizal inoculum did not decrease the Cd mobility in soil for the coriander.
