“…This is because arsenic accumulates mainly in the root, while only a small portion is translocated to shoots with even smaller quantities to fruits [38]. Several studies have shown the presence of arsenic in fruits at very low concentrations [13,39,40], and so the risk for human consumption is very low.…”

Tomato fruit is rich in antioxidant compounds such as lycopene and β-carotene. The beneficial effects of the bioactive compounds of tomato fruit have been documented as anticancer activities. The objective of this research was to determine whether arsenic (As) causes changes in the content of antioxidant compounds in tomato fruits and whether Silicon nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) positively influence them. The effects on fruit quality and non-enzymatic antioxidant compounds were determined. The results showed that As decreased the oxide-reduction potential (ORP), while lycopene and β-carotene were increased by exposure to As at a low dose (0.2 mg L−1), and proteins and vitamin C decreased due to high doses of As in the interaction with SiO2 NPs. A dose of 250 mg L−1 of SiO2 NPs increased glutathione and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and phenols decreased with low doses of As and when they interacted with the NPs. As for the flavonoids, they increased with exposure to As and SiO2 NPs. The total antioxidant capacity, determined by the ABTS (2,2´-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzthiazolin-6-sulfonic acid]) test, showed an increase with the highest dose of As in the interaction with SiO2 NPs. The application of As at low doses induced a greater accumulation of bioactive compounds in tomato fruit; however, these compounds decreased in high doses as well as via interaction with SiO2 NPs, indicating that there was an oxidative burst.

“…About arsenic concentration in fruits, vegetables, and plant leaves, the values ranging from 0.01 to 0.10, 1.06-1.43, and 2.8-43.1 mg kg −1 , respectively, have been reported. 59,63,65,71 Commonly consumed leafy and tuberous vegetables, as well as spices and coconut water, have also been identied as potential As intake sources. 57,58,[60][61][62][66][67][68]72 Tobacco leaves and weeds are also potential sources for As (0.538-3.5 mg kg −1 ) intake.…”

“…When polluted lands remain bare and unreclaimed for a long time, they can spread trace metals to larger areas via eolian dispersion and water erosion contaminating agricultural lands, surface, and groundwater over many years (8). People may be exposed to trace metal hazards through food consumption, dust inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion (for children) from polluted lands (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). In the Copperbelt region, for instance, a last epidemiological study in Katanga reported much higher trace metal concentrations (particularly As, Cd, Co, Pb, and U) in the urine of the neighboring human populations living close to mining areas and smelting plants representing a serious health hazard compared with those from a non-mining area (14).…”

Effects of 15-Year-Old Plantation on Soil Conditions, Spontaneous Vegetation, and the Trace Metal Content in Wood Products at Kipushi Tailings Dam

Phytostabilization is a more appropriate way for rehabilitation of metal-polluted environments in the Copperbelt region. A 1.5-hectare tree planting trial had been installed on the tailings dam (TD) with the help of organic matter (OM) mixed to topsoil. Then, 15 years later, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of the tree plantation, in regard to soils and spontaneous vegetation. The Cu and Co concentration was higher in the reclaimed soil compared with the unreclaimed. Acacia auriculiformis, Acacia polyacantha, Albizia lebbeck, Pinus sylvestris, Psidium guajava, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, and Syzygium guineense responded well to the criteria of phytostabilization, whereas Leucaena leucocephala was very invasive. Metal concentration was manifold higher in charcoals than in woods (Zn: 3.8–39.8 mg kg−1 in wood versus 272–523 mg kg−1 in charcoal) with no differences between charcoals regardless of the origin. The tree implantation aided with amendments can meet the criteria of phytostabilization through good survival and regeneration in the heavily contaminated TD.
