“…Plants for the last two to three decades have been studied for their ability to degrade and sequester organic pollutants in the soil via different constituent parts. The sphagneticola trilobata and amaranthus hypochondriacus have been used to accumulate a variety of toxic substances in the soil [36,37] . For this reason, their proven phytoremediation potential has gained importance in the restoration of polluted soil.…”

Soil pollution by heavy metals has been a major environmental problem of the last three decades. Although heavy metals exist naturally in the soil, anthropogenic activities have increased their concentration to levels that are toxic to humans, fauna, and flora health [1]. Activities that produce heavy metals include the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture, fossil fuel combustion, traffic, mining, smelting, sewage sludge reuse, wastewater irrigation, metal products in industries, sewage sludge and municipal waste disposal [2,3]. Soils contaminated with toxic amounts of heavy metals could potentially cause health problems by ending up in groundwater [4,5] or spreading to the surface by runoff [6].

“…Some species are tolerant, such as A. tectorum, P. maximum, V. zizanoides, and Z. mays, but some others are less tolerant, such as Hibiscus sabdariffa, Hibiscus cannabinus, and Cochorus olitorius [22]. These previous studies have suggested wild species as heavy metal accumulators and potential agents for phytoremediation [22][23][24].…”

“…Plant biomass production is dependent on plant growth and, thus, on plant tolerance to heavy metals that contaminate the soils. Plant tolerance to heavy metals varied, and this response could be determined by evaluating the plant tolerance index of the plants [22]. The tolerance index of some plants was reduced by the amendments of heavy metals [22].…”

Environmental degradation due to lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) pollution has been increasing. One of the alternative cost-effective green technologies to clean up heavy metal contamination is phytoremediation. This research aims to determine the potential of wild-found plants that could be used as Pb and Cd bioaccumulators. Plant species in this study were collected from heavy metal-contaminated soil in Bekasi and Karawang, West Java. Five species, namely Saccharum spontaneum, Acorus calamus, Ipomoea fistulosa, Ludwigia hyssopifolia, and Eichhornia crassipes, were studied for Pb accumulation capacity. Furthermore, five plant species, namely Limnocharis flava, Colocasia esculenta, Ipomoea fistulosa, Commelina benghalensis, and Eichhornia crassipes, were studied for their Cd accumulation capacity. The experiment was done in a greenhouse for eight weeks. Pb and Cd concentration were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) to determine the uptake and translocation of Pb or Cd. I. fistulosa accumulated the highest amount of Pb, with a growth rate of up to 27.07 g week−1, a bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 1.46, and a translocation factor (TF) of 0.87 upon 300 mg kg−1 Pb treatment. C. esculenta showed considerable Cd bioaccumulation, as indicated by a BCF of 0.95 and a TF of 0.65, accompanied by sustained relative biomass increase (124.9%) and the highest growth rate (36.96 g week−1) among tested plant species upon 75 mg kg−1 Cd treatment. With their capacities for bioaccumulating Pb and Cd, respectively, I. fistulosa and C. esculenta were identified as potential accumulator species for phytoremediation in heavy metal-contaminated sites such as former mining lands, landfills, and highly polluted agricultural lands.

The selection of adequate plant species is a prerequisite for cleaning-up trace metal contaminated-soils by phytoaccumulation which is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly technology. The potential of Panicum maximum, Eleusine indica and Cynodon dactylon to uptake trace metals from the soil of the Akouedo landfill was investigated. The concentrations of trace metals in soil were also considered. Moreover, the accumulation of Zn, Ni, Cu, Pb and Cd was assessed based on bioconcentration factor, translocation factor. The results showed high concentration values in the soil of the abandoned and the operation site of the landfill compare to the control site. The highest concentrations of trace metals in the plant shoot were observed with P. maximum for Ni. In root biomass, Zn, Cu and Cd showed high concentrations with P. maximum, E. indica and C. dactylon. Furthermore, the highest values of bioconcentration factor (BCF) and the translocation factor (TF) for Ni, were respectively 111.98 ± 82.45 and 4.26 ± 1.75 and were recorded with P. maximum. P. maximum, suggesting that it can be considered as a Ni hyperaccumulator.
