Influence of the soil pH in the uptake and bioaccumulation of heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Mn) and other elements (Ca, K, Al, Sr and Ba) in vine leaves, Castilla-La Mancha (Spain)

Application of Floating Aquatic Plants in Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals Polluted Water: A Review

“…Application of aquatic plants for the removal of heavy metals from municipal wastewater, sewage water, spillage areas, and other polluted sites has become a common practice and experimental technique [254,255]. Aquatic plants can be used as bio-accumulators as they have the ability to accumulate high concentrations of HMs in their biomass [256,257]. Root and shoot tissues of Typha domingensis showed maximum accumulation of Zn, Cd, Ni, Fe and Mn during the first 48 h of study, planted in pots filled with municipal wastewater.…”

“…The study of phytoremediation reveals that the aquatic macrophytes have the advantage over other plants in the remediation of heavy metals [71,131,257]. The widespread availability, rapid growth rate, high biomass, cost-effectiveness and tolerance to toxic pollutants make them the best suited, available phytoremediation plants.…”

Assessment of the Quality of Polluted Areas in Northwest Romania Based on the Content of Elements in Different Organs of Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)

“…The soil samples (100 samples) were dried, homogenized and then passed through a 20-mesh sieve to obtain very fine particles. The method for microwave digestion using a Milestone START D Microwave Digestion System (Sorisole, Italy) was optimized in a previous work [22]: 0.25 g soil, 9 mL 65% HNO 3 , 3 mL concentrate HF and 2 mL concentrated HCl were placed in a clean Teflon digestion vessel. The vessel was closed tightly and placed in the microwave.…”

“…Grape samples (100-110 kg/cultivar) were collected from each cultivar from 70 vines. The grapes placed in the top, middle and lower third of each vine and grapes were exposed to sun and shade [22]. In this way can achieve better homogenization of sample grapes.…”

Influence of Improving Materials of Forest Roads on the Surrounding Environment

“…As a result, there is better particle and structure aggregation, improved soil aeration and water movement, and reduction of Al, Mn and Fe toxicity; the regulation of P and MO availability and the development conditions of microorganisms may also improve. The most important negative consequences are the destruction of the porous granular structure, the increase in the rate of decomposition of organic matter, and the immobilization or reduction of availability of nutrients such as Mn, Zn, and B [32]. Also, CaCO 3 suppresses Mg obstruction and also affects the Ca/K ratio and can induce shortcomings of K.…”
