“…Lead is a dangerous element and a pollutant; it is toxic to plants, humans and other animals, and is not biodegradable or only barely so [1,2]. Elevated concentrations (>650 ppm) of Pb in soil affect physiological processes by reducing the availability of various macro-and microelements, changing the water balance and thereby inhibiting photosynthesis, and altering phytohormone status, cell membrane permeation, and cell membrane structure [3].…”

The study was designed to determine the proper conditions for suspension culture of Viola tricolor cells in toxicity studies of Pb at different concentrations (0, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 µM) and exposure times (24, 48, 72 h). By forming insoluble salts with ions from the medium, lead (II) nitrate added to the medium decreased the initial 5.7-5.8 pH of the medium, depending on the Pb salt concentration and light intensity.In alamarBlue assays, we found no dose-or time-dependent effect of Pb on cell viability when we did not adjust pH and did not standardize the illumination conditions to correct the effect of lead-salt-induced turbidity.When effective illumination was adjusted to correct for turbidity at the highest lead concentration and pH was adjusted to 5.7-5.8, cell viability decreased with the increase of Pb(NO 3 ) 2 concentration and with treatment time. These experiments demonstrate that the toxic action of lead on cells in suspension depends strongly on culture conditions, and not only on the metal concentration and duration of treatment.

“…Ogbuehi et al [70] reported that diesel oil contaminated soil significantly reduced the macro-elements composition (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) of soybeans; the decrease in the macro-elements contents of this plant was reportedly as a result of the inhibitory properties of diesel oil which consequently affected the quality of food materials produced by this plant. In the same vein, Agbogidi et al [39] reported significant accumulation of heavy metals in the tissues of Jatropha curcas when compared to their controls; they believed that this accumulation is gradual, but with time, could rise to a dangerous or lethal level. He stated that contamination of soil with heavy metals causes changes in the composition of soil microbial community and, other biological and biochemical properties of the soil thereby making the soil acidic and unfit for plant propagation.…”

“…Ajah and Obute [41] reckoned that malformed leaves are caused by chromosome breakage, reduction in auxin level, changes in enzyme activities and variation in ascorbic acid concentration. Change in the number of leaves per plant stand has been attributed to be the cause of induction of metabolic disorder by pollutants [9]; this promotes the inability of seedlings to absorb water due to the change in the physical and chemical structures of the soil [39]. Plant death is opined to be caused by the destruction of microbes present in the soil due to insufficient aeration following a decrease in the air-filled pore space [38] by the oil-related pollutants.…”

This paper reviews the mechanistic and genetic effects of spilt crude oil and associated drill site chemicals on some Nigerian plants. Methods that range from morphological and physical observations, physico-chemical, anatomical, cuticular to cytological and cytogenetic analyses were reviewed. Quality data on various negative consequences of exposure of plants to pollution and contamination by crude oil-related pollutants were x-rayed. Proper legislation, monitoring and enforcement of sound environmental Laws by stakeholders were advised. Government collaboration with research institutions in order to keep abreast with new research findings was suggested as a way to help strengthen, manage and reinforce environmental Laws in order to protect our sources of food.

Environmental decontamination is an integral part of sustainable development. In recent years there has been growing interest in using plants for decontamination. On the other hand, water, soil and air are increasingly contaminated. Large amounts of toxic waste have been dispersed in thousands of contaminated sites spread all over the globe. These pollutants belong to two main classes: inorganic and organic. The challenge is to develop innovative and costeffective solutions to decontaminate polluted environment. Phytoremediation is emerging as an invaluable tool for environmental cleanup. Various strategies are being applied to reduce the accumulation of toxic metals in plants. Cultivation of edible crops in contaminated soils is a subject of human health concern if the contaminant concentration in the edible parts of crops plant exceed the permissible level. In such cases non-food crop production viz. value chain and value additions appears profitable. In this review: (1) the contamination due to industrial effluents in peri urban region of greater Hyderabad, and (2) the strategies to use contaminated soil and water for raising phytoremediation crops, and generation of value products. Crops and products include medicinal and aromatic plants, ornamental plants, biofuels, tree crops, fiber crops, dyes, and plants for carbon sequestration.
