“…The value (%) of translocation index for Zn ranged from 46.84 ± 3.44 in 107.5 kg Ikeja sludge to 70.17 ± 1.00 in 67.5 kg Abesan sludge with high significant (p < 0.05) difference. The values (%) of translocation index for Cu:-43.77 to 56.37 and Zn:-46.84 to 70.17 in this study at 42 days of harvest were lower than the values detected by Satpathy and Reddy (2013) for Cu:-80 to 210 and Zn:-60 to 180 at 45 days of harvest. The translocation index value (%) for Zn was more than for Cu.…”

Disposal of sewage sludge is the major challenge facing wastewater treatment facilities. Several reports claimed that land application is the best option to manage sludge disposal. However, there is perception that sludge contains heavy metals that are potentially harmful to the living organisms. Thus, the study assessed heavy metals uptake of Amaranthus viridis grown on soil amended with sludge sourced from three wastewater treatment facilities. The vegetable was chosen because it is mostly planted by the farmers who could replace NPK fertiliser which is expensive with readily and freely available sludge from the facilities in Lagos State. The plant shoot harvested at 42 days and the amended soil after harvest were analysed for 5 selected heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr and Pb) using standard methods. To know which portions of the vegetable the metals were accumulated, transfer factor, bioconcentration factor and translocation index were computed for phytoextraction test. The results showed that the transfer factor of Zn > 1 but of Cu < 1. Both bioconcentration factor and translocation index were < 100. The Cd, Cr and Pb were below the machine detection limits. The study observed that the levels of heavy metals absorbed by the vegetable were insignificant when compared to the amount remaining in the soil.

Green Leafy Vegetables (GLV) are a key component of the Sri Lankan diet. However, GLV are identified as good heavy metal accumulators, which in turns causes potential health risks for consumers through food chain contaminations. The present study aimed to investigate the bioaccumulation, translocation and distribution patterns of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in five key Sri Lankan GLV ["Kankun" (Ipomoea aquatica), "Mukunuwenna (Alternanthera sessilis), "Thampala" (Amaranthus viridis), "Nivithi" (Basella alba) and "Kohila" (Lasia spinosa)] grown in Colombo District, Sri Lanka. The levels of Cd and Pb in different plant parts (roots, stems and leaves) and the soil underneath were determined using the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and the bioaccumulation and translocation factors of heavy metals from soil to different plants parts (roots, stems, leaves), were calculated to identify the hyper accumulative species.Irrespective of the species and the location, GLV showed the distribution pattern for Cd and Pb as: roots>stems>leaves. In all the analyzed GLV, roots have accumulated significantly higher concentrations (at P<0.05) of Cd and Pb compared with stems and leaves. Among the two heavy metals, Cd bioavailability was higher compared with Pb. Amaranthus viridis had the lowest capacity for metal enrichment. In contrast, Lasia spinosa showed the highest bioaccumulation factors for both elements and the accumulation factor obtained for Cd (1.04) was >1. Thus, Lasia spinosa has the potential to use in phytoextraction purposes in future, though it is not safe to consume as a day to day food item.

“…A possible good candidate for phytoextraction is Brassica juncea that accumulates lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel and zinc. Above all, this species is characterized by high biomass production (8 tons/ha in two months), easy adaptation to growth in different climatic conditions and a deep root system helpful for efficient metal absorption and prevention of those toxic elements entering into the groundwater (Bhargava et al, 2012;Satpathy and Reddy, 2013).…”

In some areas, anthropogenic activity has led to a high level of environmental pollution with heavy metals that it is now detrimental to living organisms. However, there are about 500 plant species known to accumulate extraordinarily high amounts of metallic elements in their tissues without any noxious effect, and these plants, hyperaccumulators, have lately been receiving increasing interest, because of their potential for being exploited in sustainable biotechnologies such as phytoremediation and phytomining. This paper reviews on the basic mechanisms of tolerance enabling practical application of hyperaccumulating plants in the clean up of land contaminated with heavy metals.
