“…The biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments may be inclined to several biotic and abiotic stresses, including TM stress (Myśliwa-Kurdziel and Strzałka 2002). The presence of TMs in the wastewater used in the irrigation of plants causes terrible damage to the chloroplast machinery of the plant leaves (Ahmed and Hanafy 2017). This trend was observed in the present study by a decline in the content of chlorophyll a and b and carotenoids.…”

“…In the present study, peas irrigated with untreated agricultural wastewater had high concentrations of all studied TMs in its root, shoot, and seeds (edible part). This result is reinforced by the results obtained by Ahmed and Hanafy (2017), who reported a significant increase of Zn, Cd, Ni, and Cu in pea plants irrigated with wastewater, and this is possibly due to the high levels of these TMs in the wastewater.…”

Trace metals (TMs) that accumulated in different crops irrigated with untreated wastewater are public hazard problem. The present work aimed to evaluate the impact of utilizing untreated agricultural water in the irrigation system of the peas crop (Pisum sativum L.) until seed production on soil and plant characteristics. It also aimed to assess the effect of the applied wastewater on nutrients and TM contents in both soil and different plant parts (root, shoot ,and seed), and it extended to study TMs' bioaccumulation and translocation ability of pea plant. Three composite soil and water samples were collected from the agricultural field (30°32'N and 31°0′E) and agricultural wastewater effluent (30°34.5'N and 31°00.42′E) in Shebin El-Kom city used in irrigation of different crops. A pot experiment (each pot of 15 × 20 cm) was carried out in the botanic garden of Faculty of Science, Menoufia University, Egypt. TMs and nutrients were investigated for soil and plant samples. There was a significant increase in trace metal contents: cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) for soil and pea plants as a result of irrigation with wastewater. Also, it caused a significant decrease in soil nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and Potassium (K) and plant (N, P, K, carbohydrates, and proteins) nutrients. A significant decline in pea growth parameters and the content of chlorophyll a and b and carotenoid in pea leaves were recorded. A high significant in TMs content for seeds (edible parts) was recorded (

“…Monitoring heavy metals levels at the STP is done on the occasional basis; in other words, it is not adequately regulated. Metals like cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni) were clearly detected primarily in STP sludge, and the presence of metals in STP running water is not uncommon [19][20][21][22][23]. As a result, this study took the initiative to investigate the potential of some heavy metals occurrence in Penang's STP.…”

Heavy metals and trace metals are among the most prevalent contaminants in sewage. Depending on the concentration and frequency of exposure, certain heavy metals are toxic, carcinogenic, and hazardous to humans. In this study, copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and cadmium (Cd) levels were measured in the collected wastewater samples from 10 selected domestic sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Penang, Malaysia in December 2021. All metals in the wastewater were determined using the atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS) method followed by the wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) analysis. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in the wastewater samples were found to be in the following order (unit of mg/L): Fe > Ni > Zn > Cu > Cd (influent), and Fe > Ni > Zn > Cd > Cu (effluent). Among the metals, Fe concentrations were found to be the highest in effluent, with average values at 5.93 ± 5.319 mg/L, slightly over than a maximum permissible Fe concentration. Cadmium level in all STPs was significantly higher when compared to the maximum permissible Cd concentration (0.02 mg/L) allowed by Malaysia’s regulation, with an average of 0.13 ± 0.011 mg/L. Other metals concentration such as Cu, Ni and Zn in wastewater at the studied STPs showed low level and were considered safe. Using the WBE approach, the collected data were then calculated to estimate the population’s exposure consumption to heavy metals. Mass loading demonstrated high Fe exposure in all STPs but low Cd exposure, with the mean exposure of 1,924.86 ± 2451.772 and 46.91 ± 20.936 mg/1000p/d, respectively. Given the World Health Organization’s recommendation for tolerable weekly cadmium intake, the estimated human exposure to Cd in this study was particularly concerning, in addition to the lack of efficiency of Cd removal in the studied STPs. HIGHLIGHTS The order of the heavy metal mean concentrations in wastewater samples was Fe > Ni > Zn > Cu > Cd (influent), and Fe > Ni > Zn > Cd > Cu (effluent) The removal efficiency of the STPs followed the order: Cu > Fe > Zn > Cd > Ni The daily exposure rate of Fe was recorded as the highest exposure rate among other studied heavy metals (1924.7 ± 2451.772 mg/1000p/d) The daily exposure rate of Cd, estimated from the mass loads of total Cd, was found to be the lowest when compared to the other heavy metals (46.91 ± 20.936 mg/1000p/d) GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Usage of wastewater to irrigate crops increases in Egypt and the whole world as a result of water shortage. This study is conducted to explore the potential of Abelmoschus esculentus Moench. (Okra plant) to accumulate and translocate eight trace metals: lead: Pb, cadmium: Cd, chromium: Cr, copper: Cu, iron: Fe, manganese: Mn, nickel: Ni and zinc: Zn in its different tissues due to irrigation with untreated industrial wastewater. It extended to assess the effect of the irrigation with wastewater on the growth parameters, nutrients, pigments and organic contents of the cultivated okra plants.Two studied sites at South of Cairo was conducted, the rst site (29°42'31.17" N and 31°15'11.56" E); represented by ve cultivated elds irrigated with Nile water (control) and the second site (29°42'37.87" N and 31°17'14.53" E); elds irrigated with e uent receive untreated industrial wastewater. Three composite soil and irrigated water samples were collected from each site. A signi cant decrease in nutrients: nitrogen (N), Potassium (K) and Phosphorous (P) in soil and Plants were resulted due to irrigation with wastewater. Also, there was a signi cant increase in trace metals concentration in both soil and plants irrigated with wastewater. A signi cant decrement in okra growth parameters and leaves photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and b and carotenoids) due to irrigation with wastewater. Iron was the highest accumulated metal in the plant's fruits (edible part) irrigated with wastewater.
