Vehicular emissions cause heavy metal pollution and exert negative impacts on environment and roadside vegetation. Wild plants growing along roadsides are capable of absorbing considerable amounts of heavy metals; thus, could be helpful in reducing heavy metal pollution. Therefore, current study inferred heavy metal absorbance capacity of some wild plant species growing along roadside. Four different wild plant species, i.e., Acacia nilotica L., Calotropis procera L., Ricinus communis L., and Ziziphus mauritiana L. were selected for the study. Leaf samples of these species were collected from four different sites, i.e., Control, New Lahore, Nawababad and Fatehabad. Leaf samples were analyzed to determine Pb2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Mn2+ and Fe3+ accumulation. The A. nilotica, Z. mauritiana and C. procera accumulated significant amount of Pb at New Lahore site. Similarly, R. communis and A. nilotica accumulated higher amounts of Mn, Zn and Fe at Nawababad and New Lahore sites compared to the rest of the species. Nonetheless, Z. mauritiana accumulated higher amounts of Ni at all sites compared with the other species included in the study. Soil surface contributed towards the uptake of heavy metals in leaves; therefore, wild plant species should be grown near the roadsides to control heavy metals pollution. Results revealed that wild plants growing along roadsides accumulate significant amounts of heavy metals. Therefore, these species could be used to halt the vehicular pollution along roadsides and other polluted areas.

The growing concern over the safety of vegetables consumed in some areas of Lagos due to increased discharge of pollutants that cannot be overlooked was the basis for this research. Thus, this study aimed at assessing the proximate compositions and heavy metals’ profiles of Talinum triangulare, Corchorus olitorius and Solanum macrocarpon harvested from some farmlands, roadsides and markets in Badagry division of Lagos State. Leaves of Talinum triangulare, Corchorus olitorius and Solanum macrocarpon were obtained from farmlands, roadsides and markets in different local government areas in Badagry division of Lagos State. Proximate and heavy metals’ analyses were done using standard analytical procedures. Proximate analyses of the three vegetables showed that the vegetables contained moisture, carbohydrate, lipid, crude fibre, fat, and ash at very appreciable quantities. Also, the results of the heavy metals’ analyses revealed the range of Pb(0.01-0.03 mg/kg), Cd(0.01-0.07mg/kg), Fe(1.83-3.78 mg/kg), Cu(0.05-0.23 mg/kg), Mn(0.01-1.06 mg/kg), Zn(0.08-1.01 mg/kg) for farmlands; Pb(0.01-1.06 mg/kg), Cd(0.01-0.07 mg/kg), Fe(1.00-3.30 mg/kg), Cu(0.01-1.03 mg/kg), Mn(0.01-1.06 mg/kg), Zn(0.86-1.08 mg/kg) for roadsides and P(0.01-0.02mg/kg); Cd(0.01-0.04 mg/kg), Fe(1.78-3.02 mg/kg), Cu(0.01-0.08 mg/kg), Mn(0.02-0.12 mg/kg), Zn (0.01-2.01 mg/kg) for markets among the three vegetables in three the local government areas of Badagry division. However, chromium was not detected in the vegetables for all the locations. These metals were below or within WHO permissible limits except for lead and cadmium which were higher in some vegetables from Ojo roadsides and farmlands; lead in Amuwo-Odofin roadsides and Badagry farmlands respectively. It could be inferred from this study that vegetables across the three locations are rich sources of nutrients irrespective of specific points of collections. However, vegetables from roadsides had the highest overall heavy metal concentrations compared to those from farmland and markets and this could be linked to pollution by vehicular emission among others in the study areas. Thus, regular monitoring of the vegetables should be encouraged to checkmate possible health hazards from consumption of these vegetables.

At the end of the 20th century, the constant growth of the population and the rapid development of production brought the situation with the state of the environment in many countries and regions of the world to the brink of an ecological crisis. One of the main factors in the degradation of the natural environment is its pollution by various pollutants, among which one of the main places is occupied by heavy metals. Given the above, it becomes clear the relevance of research on the impact of heavy metals on plants. Currently, they are actively held in many countries of the world. The article is aimed at studying the influence of heavy metals on the main physiological processes that occur in plants. The results of studies on the influence of heavy metals on the main physiological processes of grain and leguminous crops are presented. Based on the results of the analysis, it was proven that accumulating in large quantities in plants, heavy metals cause a negative impact on growth, development and other physiological processes. It was established that in the presence of large concentrations of these elements in cereal plants, a decrease in the height of the stem, a decrease in the number of internodes, a decrease in the accumulation of raw and dry biomass, as well as a decrease in the size of inflorescences are observed. The main reasons for the decrease in above-ground biomass productivity in plants are the negative impact of heavy metals on the growth and development of plants and the intensity of photosynthesis. Individual types of plant groups show different ability to accumulate heavy metals. The results of our own research established that in the presence of high concentrations of heavy metals, a decrease in the linear dimensions of leaves was observed in almost all types of plants with which research was conducted. All of the above testifies to various aspects of the effect of heavy metals on metabolic processes and the viability of plants. They affect various functional groups of biologically important substances of the body, displace essential metals from metal-containing complexes, and also generate active forms of oxygen, which often leads to the occurrence of an oxidative explosion in cells and even the death of plants.
