“…In this study, the paired t-test was selected for its suitability for a statistical population with less than 30 samples (Sayfi and Nikbakht 2016;Tousi et al 2018). The t-test can be applied to one sample under some treatments (Blaeschke et al 2018;Tousi et al 2015). Hence, it was used in this study to determine the transfer rate of trace elements among the five different sample types: (1) surface soil (depth up to 15 cm), ( 2) surrounding soil of corm (depth of 15 -30 cm), (3) corm, (4) petal, and ( 5) the red saffron.…”

Neutron activation analysis was used in this research to measure the concentrations of aluminum (Al), bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), and thorium (Th) in soil and saffron plants as well as their contamination, enrichment, and translocation rates. The edible part of the saffron showed a higher Hg concentration than the WHO/FAO-permitted level in the urban area. The soil was not intoxicated and contaminated by Al, As, and Th except in the urban areas, which were slightly polluted by As. The calculated contamination degree and pollution load index indicated that the soil was almost uncontaminated. The enrichment factors (EF) showed minimal enrichment levels of Al and Th and low As contamination, which may still increase due to human activities in the environment. The tested elements’ translocation abilities were also evaluated by the paired t-test statistical method and indexes of translocation, and it was found that Al, As, and Th can quickly relocate into different soil depths. Saffron was also evaluated as a very poor absorber of the elements studied. While Cl and Th can easily move from the saffron’s corm to its aerial parts, Al and Hg merely translocate from the corm to the petal. It was also found that Al, Cl, and Th can move between the petals and the thread.

The main purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the concentrations of six essential metals (Na + , Mg 2+ , K + , Ca 2+ , Fe 2+ and Zn 2+ ) in saffron and a farm soil using the neutron activation analysis (NAA) as a nuclear spectrometry method. The stratified random sampling method was used here. The NAA results showed the well uptake of Mg 2+ , K + , Ca 2+ , Fe 2+ , and Zn 2+ in saffron, which is lower than the toxicity range. Based on the contamination factor and geoaccumulation index, soil contamination levels were determined uncontaminated by Zn, moderately contaminated by Na + and Fe 2+ , and strongly contaminated by Ca 2+ , K + , and Mg 2+ . Results of the contamination degree and pollution load index indicated moderately/strongly soil contamination and a moderate geometric mean of the contamination index. The Na + enrichment factor (EF) showed a minimal man-made impact on sodium enrichment. Saffron cultivation has likely caused more accumulations of Mg 2+ , K + , Ca 2+ , and Fe 2+ , as well as a considerable deficiency of Zn 2+ in the soil, based on EFs. The biological concentration factor showed a significant zinc accumulation by the corm of saffron. There was well translocation from corm to all the aerial tissues for K + . Also, sodium adsorption ratio, exchangeable sodium percentage, pH, and electrical conductivity evaluated the non-salinity level of soil in all saffron farms.
