“…Similarly, Nakanishi‐Masuno et al (2018) reported Fe‐accumulating behavior of leguminous plant Crotalaria juncea , they reported that NARMP transporter (metal transporter) of this plant uptakes more Fe even in the presence of Cd (cadmium). Chauhan and Mathur (2020) also reported higher Fe phytoremediation efficiency of sunflower (Table 5). Chandra and Yadav (2011) studied the phytoremediation potential of Cyperus esculentus , P. cummunis , Typha angustifolia in mixed metal solution including Fe.…”

Fe is the fourth abundant element in the earth crust. Fe toxicity is not often discussed in plant science though it causes severe morphological and physiological disorders, including reduced germination percentage, interferes with enzymatic activities, nutritional imbalance, membrane damage, and chloroplast ultrastructure. It also causes severe toxicity to important biomolecules, which leads to ferroptotic cell death and induces structural changes in the photosynthetic apparatus, which results in retardation of carbon metabolism. However, some agronomic practices like soil remediation through chemicals, nutrients, and organic amendments and some breeding and genetic approaches can provide fruitful results in enhancing crop production in Fe‐contaminated soils. Some quantitative trait loci have been reported for Fe tolerance in plants but the function of underlying genes is just emerging. Physiological and molecular mechanism of Fe uptake, translocation, toxicity, and remediation techniques are still under experimentation. In this review, the toxic effects of Fe on seed germination, carbon assimilation, water relations, nutrient uptake, oxidative damages, enzymatic activities, and overall plant growth and development have been discussed. The Fe dynamics in soil rhizosphere and role of remediation strategies, that is, biological, physical, and chemical, have also been described. Use of organic amendments, microbe, phytoremediation, and biological strategies is considered to be both cost and environment friendly for the purification of Fe‐contaminated soil, while to ensure better crop yield and quality the manipulation of agronomic practices are suggested.

“…However, plant growth under these conditions marks its potential as an environmental phytoremediator [66][67][68]. Therefore, investigation on decorative sunflower plant, Helianthus annuus, was also investigated for its ability to reduce TPH and PAHs contaminants simultaneously with Pb and Zn metals, besides being able to control heavy metals [69,70]. The combined results showed a decrease in Pb and Zn concentrations of around 50%, while a decrease in TPH and PAHs was around 35% [71].…”

Public roads and all their activities interact with the environment outside. The interaction was related to transportation pollutants and their recipient bodies, plants, air, and soil. The interaction of these environmental components can produce air pollution and requires prevention solutions. Plants are considered capable of weakening pollution; thus, this study aims to design a novel phytoarchitecture for public roads where roadside plants reduce air pollutants. The method for achieving this goal was based on selected empirical research, which was searched, collected, and selected using the Mendeley reference manager platform with the search phrase: roadside plants, heavy metals, and gaseous pollutants. The selection of hundreds of literatures was carried out in three screening stages. The organisation of this literature review used the ecological approach of transportation pollutants and roadside plants. With the intended methodology, the results of this study indicate that gaseous pollutants and heavy metals arise from public road transportation activities. Traces of pollutants can be measured on the surrounding land and especially on plants. There are five functional characteristics of plants, including phytotreatment, which reduces air pollution; phytoaccumulation to store pollutants; phytoindicators to indicate the presence of excessive concentrations; phytotoxicity in response to toxic levels; and phytomonitoring, which can provide early warning system. Finally, an ecological design is proposed for new roads and improving, operating, and maintaining existing roadside plants. In conclusion, the plant roles can be applied as criteria in the architectural design of public roads.

“…Large-scale crop production which relies heavily on intensive application of chemical fertilizers is a major source of environmental pollution such as soil and groundwater acidification, salination, and alga bloom pollution of other water bodies (Chauhan & Mathur, 2020;Cui & Shoemaker, 2018;Singh et al, 2020). Also, repeated and consistent application of chemical fertilizers over time contributes to accumulation of heavy metals in crop soil (Jiao et al, 2012;Khan et al, 2018).…”

The large-scale production of food crops with heavy application of chemical fertilizers in the effort to meet the astronomical increase in food demands may be counterproductive to the goal of food security. This study investigated the effect of different soil treatments on the levels of heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in two types of vegetables Lactuca sativa (lettuce) and Daucus carrota (carrot). The potential carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks from their consumption were also evaluated. Planting experiment was set up in a randomized block design, with different soil treatments of soil + cow dung (CD), soil + sewage sludge (SS), soil + chemical fertilizer (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK)), and untreated soil (UNTRD). The vegetables were harvested at maturity, washed with distilled water, and subjected to an acid digestion process before the levels of heavy metals were measured by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP-MS). The mean concentrations of the metals in the vegetables across all treatments were below the maximum permissible limits. The pattern of heavy metal accumulation by the vegetables suggested that the lettuce from SS treatment accumulated higher concentrations of heavy metals like Cr (0.20 mg/kg), Cu (3.91 mg/kg), Ni (0.33 mg/kg), and Zn (20.44 mg/kg) than carrot, with highest concentrations of Fe (90.89 mg/kg) and Pb (0.16 mg/kg) recorded in lettuce from NPK treatment. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF) showed that lettuce, a leafy vegetable, has bioaccumulated more heavy metals than carrot, a root vegetable. The BAF was generally below the threshold value of 1 in both vegetables, except in lettuce from NPK and CD treatments and carrot from NPK treatments, with BAF values of 1.6, 1.69, and 1.39, respectively. The cancer risk assessment factors were well below the unacceptable maximum range of 10−4 suggesting that consuming these vegetables might not expose an individual to potential risk of cancer development. The hazard quotient estimations were below the threshold values of 1 for all heavy metals; however, the hazard index (HI) values of 1.27 and 1.58 for lettuce from NPK and SS treatments indicate a potential non-carcinogenic health risk to consumers from intake of all the heavy metals.
