“…A 17-chapter e-book “Remediation of Heavy Metals” features a substantial introductory chapter 9 devoted to “Analytical Methods for the Determination of Heavy Metals in Water,” whose authors stress the importance of speciation analysis, which they described as “a fundamental yet still undervalued aspect of the integral evaluation of the presence and impact of heavy metals in waters.” A number of chapters in a book devoted to bioremediation are concerned with the removal of metals, and the importance of speciation is particularly highlighted in the chapter devoted to phytoremediation of mine waste disposal sites. 10 The 15 chapters in “Arsenic Toxicity: Challenges and Solutions” are concerned with aspects of sources of As contamination, its impact on human health, and on prospective bio- and phytoremediation. Applications of genetic engineering and nanotechnology to the problems of As contamination in ground water and river basins are also discussed.…”

“…Namely, the most common disadvantage is their low biomass, which makes the extraction process less or even unprofitable. An additional problem is that metalliferous habitats are usually co-enriched with several metals/metalloids at the same time, and hyperaccumulators usually take up only one element above the hyperaccumulation threshold, as the hyperaccumulation of several elements is a much rarer phenomenon (Jakovljević et al 2021).…”

“…Moreover, some of these Noccaea repre-sentatives are capable of hyperaccumulating more than one element, which makes them particularly attractive for the phytoextraction process. However, most of these species are characterised by extremely low biomass, which makes their use in the remediation/agromining process largely unviable (Jakovljević et al 2021).…”

Hyperaccumulator plant discoveries in the Balkans: Accumulation, distribution, and practical applications

Hyperaccumulator plants are able to tolerate extremely high concentrations of metals/metalloids in the soil in which they grow and to accumulate high concentrations in their shoots. To date, a total of 31 hyperaccumulator plant species have been identified in the Balkans, the centre of diversity and speciation in the European flora which is particularly rich in ultramafic areas. A further 8 species have yet to be confirmed through additional studies. Most of the 31 hyperaccumulator taxa (13 taxa or 41.9%) are species of the genus Odontarrhena, all hyperaccumulating Ni, but concentrations of this element above the hyperaccumulation threshold were also found in the genera Bornmuellera and Noccaea (all Brassicaceae), Orobanche (Orobanchaceae), Centaurea (Asteraceae) and Viola (Violaceae). The existence of hyperaccumulators of Tl and Zn is of particular interest because very few species worldwide hyperaccumulate these elements. Multiple metal hyperaccumulation was found in Noccaea kovatsii, as the hyperaccumulation of Zn was found in this species in addition to Ni, the primary accumulated element. Metal hyperaccumulation is discussed in terms of phylogenetic relationships and species distributions, with special attention to their systematics, the detection and recognition of new hyperaccumulating species and the possibilities for their future practical applications in phytotechnologies.
