“…Many reports showed that native macrophyte species have a high potential for nutrients recycling in the aquatic environment (Fawzy et al 2012;Eid et al 2019;Zare et al 2020). Out of which, Fawzy et al (2012) showed the phytoremediation capabilities of selected plant species growing in the Nile River of Egypt.…”

“…They found that the levels of heavy metals in water hyacinth tissues were significantly correlated with their concentration in canal water. A recent report by Zare et al (2020) showed that the selected aquatic macrophytes (Tamarix sp., Suada sp., and Jancus sp.) were able to remove a significant fraction of HMs (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) from Maharlu Lake (Fars province, Iran).…”

“…Pollution of freshwater bodies including rivers, lakes, wetlands, and ponds through wastewater disposal has become a serious cause of environmental degradation (Eid and Shaltout, 2017;;Zare et al 2020). In this, wastewater disposal containing a tremendous load of heavy metals (HMs) is one of the major causes of water body toxification (Renuka et al 2014;Kumar et al 2019b;Eid et al 2021).…”

The present study aimed to investigate the annual potential of water hyacinth (WH; Eichhornia crassipes) macrophyte in an un-operated/abandoned stretch of the upper Ganga canal at Haridwar, India. The study covered a 25 km long and 100 m wide stretch of the old Ganga canal which exhibits a huge WH growth every year. For this, standard field and laboratory methods were adopted to estimate the WH biomass density (Kg/m 2 ), and heavy metals dynamics between canal water and macrophyte biomass. Results showed that the average annual density of WH biomass was 5.538 kg/m 2 with significant (P < 0.05) heavy metals (HMs) accumulation as 1.50 mg/Kg dw of Cd, 0.21 of mg/Kg dw of Cr, 2.19 mg/Kg dw of Cu, 28.54 mg/Kg dw of Fe, 20.79 mg/Kg dw of Mn, and 9.39 mg/Kg dw of Zn, respectively. Using a polynomial cubic model, the annual trends of WH growth and HMs accumulation in both water and biomass were also simulated. The developed models showed good R 2 and error validation results that support the prediction criteria. The findings of this study revealed that WH's growth in the un-operated stretch of the old Ganga canal located at Haridwar has high HMs accumulation and biomass production potentials.

“…Analysis of the Juncus sp. shoots growing on contaminated wetland in the margin of a saline lake in Iran (Zare et al 2020) confirmed that this plant can accumulate and stabilize trace metals in tissues under high salinity conditions. Studies from the Holy Cross Mountains Gałuszka 2019, 2020) have shown that Mn, Zn, and Cd are most efficiently transferred from the root to the shoot, in contrast to Pb and REEs whose transfer is constrained.…”

“…Due to this characteristic, the plant can release oxygen into the rhizosphere, thus changing redox conditions and bioavailability of metals (Syranidou et al 2017). J. effusus has also a wide ecological tolerance, which is evidenced by a high resistivity to several toxic metal(loid)s. Due to this ability, it has been widely used in phytoremediation for removal trace metal(loid) and organic pollutants (Bouldin et al 2006;Rahman et al 2014;Syranidou et al 2017;Wiessner et al 2013;Zare et al 2020). This high tolerance makes J. effusus like halophytes, salt-tolerant plants growing on soils or waters of high salinity Gałuszka 2019, 2020;Peng et al 2018).…”

Bioavailability of selected trace and rare earth elements to Juncus effusus L.: the potential role of de-icing chlorides in the roadside environment

Background and aim The presence of chlorides in soils, e.g., from de-icing salts may change metal availability to plants. Methods To assess the role of de-icing chlorides on bioavailability of metals, the samples of the rhizosphere soils, roots and shoots of Juncus effusus L. were collected monthly from April to June of 2019 in the vicinity of roads and analyzed for trace (Ag, Cd, Co, Cu, Pb, Zn) and rare earth elements (from La to Lu). Results Concentrations of Cl− were distinctly higher in the shoots than in the roots. Apart from Cd, the concentration sequence of the other metals was as follows: rhizosphere soils>roots>shoots. The bioaccumulation and translocation factors indicated that Cd was the most preferably transported to the shoots as opposed to Ag, Co, Pb and REEs that showed a very low translocation potential. Negative correlations, which were noted between Cu and Co in the shoots and Cl− in soils, revealed their role in salinity stress alleviation. All soil samples showed a positive anomaly of Ce and a negative anomaly of Eu, whereas the shoots showed in turn a negative anomaly of Ce and a distinct positive anomaly of Eu. The lowest salinity factors (K/Na, Ca/Na) of the shoots resulted from an increase of salinity in J. effusus by higher sodium concentrations derived from de-icing NaCl. Conclusions De-icing agents may change the uptake of other elements. In natural habitats, the factors affecting this process include: type of element, soil metal concentrations and interactions, and individual plant features.

The escalating concern over the presence and health implications of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in drinking water has underscored the need for rigorous risk assessments. Our study aimed to quantify both the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks associated with exposure to selected PTEs—namely arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), and cadmium (Cd). Also, we evaluated ingestion and skin contact exposures to risks during summer and winter using metrics such as the hazard quotient (HQ), hazard index (HI), and cancer risk (CR) for children, adult males, and adult females. For all demographic groups and exposure pathways, the HQ values remain below the established safety threshold (HQ < 1). Notably, As consistently had the highest average HI value across children, male adults, and female adults. Seasonal variations were statistically significant (p < 0.05) for As and Cr, but not Cd. During the summer, the average total carcinogenic risks (TCR) from drinking water exposure were 7.61 × 10–6, 8.94 × 10–6, and 1.12 × 10–5 for children, male adults, and female adults, respectively. In the winter, these values were 1.18 × 10–5, 1.40 × 10–5, and 1.75 × 10–5, respectively. The fuzzy C-means clustering analysis provided insights into our dataset's Cr, Cd, and As distribution patterns. Results indicate that As, Cr, and Cd mean concentrations were below the World Health Organization health-based guidelines. The CR values for children and adults from drinking water exposure were slightly above or below the US Environmental Protection Agency’s standards. These findings can inform research and policy-making regarding the risk of PTEs in drinking water and highlight the need to monitor Shiraz water regularly.
