“…Phytoremediation is important in that it is widely used as an in situ remediation technique for heavy metals. 1 Advantages of phytoremediation can be listed as follows: the use of solar energy to power the process, cost-effectiveness, easy operation, reduction in secondary air and water contaminants, and the use of biomass for biofuel production and low-cost adsorbents. 97,98 Several disadvantages have also been documented: selective metal uptake by plants, slow growth, minimal biomass, long clean-up periods and treatment/disposal of metalloaded plant biomass.…”

Cellular pathologies and genotoxic effects arising secondary to heavy metal exposure: A review

Environmental pollution is significant and oftentimes hazardous in the areas, where mining, foundries and smelters and other metallurgical operations are located. Systematic research on the chronic effects of metals started during the past century; nevertheless, it is evident that even today, there are large gaps in knowledge regarding the assessment of the health effects caused by environmental and occupational exposures to these metals. Heavy metals induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing oxidative stress, make several repair-inhibiting cellular changes and alter the DNA repair processes. They favour the ‘false’ repairing of double-strand breaks (DSBs), propagate DNA mutations and induce carcinogenesis. A detailed literature search was performed using the MedLine/PubMed database. Depending on the mechanism of action, arsenicals can act as genotoxins, non-genotoxic agents and carcinogens. Cadmium can bind to proteins, reduce DNA repair, activate protein degradation, up-regulate cytokines and proto-oncogenes (c-fos, c-jun and c-myc), induce the expression of metallothionein, haeme-oxygenases, glutathione transferases, heat-shock proteins, acute-phase reactants and DNA polymerase β at lower concentrations. Inorganic mercury damages oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport pathways at the ubiquinone–cytochrome b5 locus and thus induces ROS production. Abandoned mining areas generate environmentally persistent waste. These specific sites urgently require maximally efficient and cheap remediation. This bears the need for methodologies employing green and sustainable remediation. Phytoremediation is important in that it is a prevalent in situ remediation technique. Its advantages include the use of solar energy, cost-effectiveness, easy operation, reduction in secondary contaminants, the use of biomass for biofuel production and low-cost adsorbents.

“…Several compounds of In can cause cancer and are toxic [2]. Some analytical methods such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [3][4][5][6][7][8], inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [9][10][11], and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) [12][13][14][15][16] have been applied to analyse Cd(II), In(III), and Pb(II). ese techniques have high selectivity and sensitivity, but they are very expensive and time-consuming.…”

We have successfully manufactured a new electrode modified with bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The electrode was fabricated to detect cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and indium (In) by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DP-ASV). The electrode surface was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the reduction and oxidation processes were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. Operational parameters such as electrode size, bismuth concentration, and electrolytic background were optimized. The DP-ASV method used fabricated electrodes with a linear response range from 1.5–20 μg·L−1 with Cd(II) and Pb(II) and 2.5–20 μg·L−1 with In(III); low detection limit (LOD) of 0.22 μg·L−1 with Cd(II), 0.65 μg·L−1 with In(III), and 0.26 μg·L−1 with Pb(II); and good repeatability with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 2.65%, 2.51%, and 3.34% with Cd(II), Pb(II), and In(III), respectively (n = 8). The electrode can be used to test the content of Cd(II), In(III), and Pb(II) in water.

“…The concentrations and spatial distributions of the heavy metals in the river-bed sediments were generally consistent with the regional weathering and contamination history in the watershed. The bedrock in the watershed is granite, and its weathering commonly releases various heavy metals as trace elements. , The metals released from the weathering contribute to the background inputs of heavy metals − and likely constitute to the dominant source for the first group of the heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, and Pb) in the Maozhou River. The heavy metals in the second group (Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn) were significantly affected by the metal-containing wastewater discharges from electroplating, electronics, and smelting factories during the fast-growing period of the Shenzhen city in last 40 years. , Despite the elimination of the contamination sources as a recent watershed-scale restoration effort, the heavy metals were apparently preserved in the river-bed sediments.…”

This study investigated the accumulation and release risks of heavy metals As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in representative contaminated river-bed and river-side sediments from a groundwater−river water interaction zone (GRIZ) currently under restoration. The results revealed different accumulation and release risk behaviors of the heavy metals in the river-bed and river-side sediments that are a complex function of contamination history, local hydrogeological and chemical properties, and metal-specific chemistry. In the river-bed sediments, the concentrations of all the metals first increased and then decreased with depth, reflecting the histories of metal-containing wastewater discharges and sedimentation of metal-containing particles in river water. In the river-side sediments, the concentrations of As, Cd, Co, and Pb were higher in finer grain materials, while those of Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn were higher in coarser materials, reflecting the combined effects of stronger sorption capacity in finer materials and preferential water flow in coarser materials that carried metals from contaminated river. Speciation analysis indicated that Cd was mainly controlled by surface complexation, Cu was mainly controlled in complexation with organics, and other metals dominantly associated with iron-oxide and structural fractions with a higher structural fraction in the river-side sediments. Risk analysis indicated that release potentials were metal-specific, following an order of Cd > Cu > Ni > Cr > Co > Zn > As > Pb. The results have a strong implication for understanding heavy-metal distribution and accumulation in GRIZ sediments and for the management of contaminated sediments during and after watershed restoration.
