“…Although potentially toxic elements have a role in metabolism for various biochemical and physiological functions, they have toxic effects above certain threshold concentrations and cause systemic health problems. [1,2] Cadmium (Cd), which is a member of the potentially toxic elements class, occurs in the environment with the effects of various natural activities and human factors such as mining process wastes, tobacco consumption, industrial applications, and fossil fuel combustion. [3] The first report on the toxicity of cadmium, which is not essential for humans, was recorded in the 19th century about workers in the zinc smelting process.…”

In this study, manganese ferrite magnetic nanoparticles‐based dispersive solid phase extraction (MF‐MNP‐DSPE) was developed for cadmium determination at trace level by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Manganese ferrite‐based magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized to be used as solid phase extraction sorbent. All the analytical conditions were optimized by univariate optimization approach to achieve high enrichment factors. Under the optimum conditions, limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) values of the developed method were recorded as 1.3 and 4.3 µg L−1, respectively. Approximately 135‐fold improvement in the detection power by the MF‐MNP‐DSPE‐FAAS system was recorded over the traditional FAAS system based on LOD comparison. Recovery experiments were performed to test the applicability/accuracy of the developed method with lake water spiked at different concentrations. Percent recovery values were obtained between 87% and 112% by employing the matrix matching calibration strategy and this showed that the developed method is applicable for the determination of cadmium in lake water samples with high accuracy and precision.

Agricultural lands, especially those where wheat is cultivated, in the vicinity of intense anthropogenic activities may be laden with potentially toxic elements (PTEs), resulting in increased risk for human health. In this study we monitored three regions located in central Greece, currently cultivated with wheat: Domokos and Eretria, two areas with abandoned chromium mines, but never studied before, and the industrial area of Volos, near a major steel factory. All soils were alkaline with medium CaCO3 content. As expected, Cr was extremely high in the first two areas (705.2 in Eretria and 777.5 mg kg−1 in Domokos); Ni was also found elevated (1227 in Eretria, 1315 in Domokos and 257.6 mg kg−1 in the steel factory), while other harmful metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) were rather low. As a result, pollution load index, a cumulative index showing the contamination level of an area, was higher than 1.0 in all three areas (Eretria = 2.20, Domokos = 2.28, and steel factory = 1.61), indicating high contamination and anthropogenic inputs. As for the wheat parts (shoots and grains), they were found to have no elevated concentrations of any of the measured metals in all three study areas, probably due to the alkaline soil pH that decelerates metal mobility. This was also confirmed by the very low soil-to-plant transfer coefficient values for all metals. In assessing the possible risk concerning human health, we found that the soil-to-human pathway would induce no significant risk (exhibited by hazard index of less than 1.0), while the risk from grain-to-human resulted in considerable risk for human health in the steel factory of Volos (where HI > 1.0). Our findings suggest that rural areas never studied before with a history in some offensive anthropogenic activity can prove to be a contamination hotspot; we regard this study as a pivotal for similarly never-visited-before areas casually cultivated with wheat (or other important crops for human nutrition). We further recognize the need for a more in-depth study that would acknowledge the geochemical speciation of the studied metals and also monitor other important crops and their possible uptake of PTEs.

The aim of our study is to determine the hyperaccumulatory properties by examining the heavy metal accumulation (Co, Ni, Fe) in endemic Anchusa leptophlla subsp. tomentosa, Alyssum pateri subsp. pateri, Glaucium acutidentatum and non endemic Erysimum uncinatifolium species collected from a copper mining area in Elazığ Maden district. All species collected are hyperaccumulator according to their Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) values of Co element. According to NiBCF and FeBCF values, A. leptophlla and E. uncinatifolium species were found to be hyperacumulators. According to Transfer Factor (TF) value, it is determined that Co element can be transported upper organs in A. leptophlla, A. pateri species, whereas Ni and Fe elements in A. leptophlla, A. pateri, E. uncinatifolium species. Among the species examined, the CoEF values for A. leptophlla and NiEF values (EF>1) in all species are found to be higher than 1 according to the Enrichment Factor (EF). It can be said that the Ni accumulation capacities of all species are higher. In the study, soils samples taken from sampling area according to the Geoaccumulation index (Igeo) were found to be moderately contaminated in by Co and not so polluted by Fe. Elazığ (Maden) Maden Sahasındaki Bazı Karasal Endemik ve Endemik OlmayanBitkilerde Ağır Metal (Co, Ni, Fe) Biyoakümülasyonları Anahtar kelimeler: Hiperakümülatör, fitoremediasyon, madencilik, ağir metal, endemik bitkiler, Elaziğ Maden Özet. Çalışmamızın amacı, Elazığ Maden ilçesinde bir bakır madeni sahasından toplanan endemik Anchusa leptophlla subsp. tomentosa, Alyssum pateri subsp. pateri, Glaucium acutidentatum ve endemik olmayan Erysimum uncinatifolium türlerindeki ağır metal birikimini (Co, Ni, Fe) inceleyerek hiperakümülasyon özelliklerini belirlemektir. Toplanan tüm türler, Co elementinin Biyokonsantrasyon Faktörü (BCF) değerlerine göre hiperakümülatördür. NiBCF ve FeBCF değerlerine göre A. leptophlla ve E. uncinatifolium türlerinin hiperakümülatör olduğu görülmüştür. Transfer Faktör (TF) değerine göre A. leptophlla, A. pateri türlerinde Co elementinin üst organlara, A. leptophlla, A. pateri, E. uncinatifolium türlerinde Ni ve Fe elementlerinin üst organlara taşınabildiği belirlenmiştir. Araştırılan türler arasında zenginleştirme faktörü (EF) değerine göre A. leptophlla'daki CoEF ve tüm türlerde Ni EF değeri (EF> 1) 1'den yüksek bulunmuştur. Tüm türlerin Ni biriktirme kapasitelerinin daha yüksek olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada, Jeobirikim İndeksi (Igeo)'ne göre örnekleme alanından alınan toprak örneklerinin Co tarafından orta derecede kirlendiği ve Fe ile çok fazla kirlenmediği bulunmuştur.
