“…In our research, the translocation factor (TF) was less than one for Cd and Pb in all treatments, indicating the potential of the rosemary plant for their phytostabilization in the root. Similar findings were reported by 45 on Mentha species and 46 on Matricaria chamomilla L.…”

“…According to 37 chlorophyll decreases in Leucaena leucocephala seedlings have been attributed to Pb (NO 3 ) 2 at 300–700 µM induced chlorophyll synthesis inhibition. In another research, stress of cadmium (10 and 40 mg kg −1 ) and lead (60 and 180 mg kg −1 ) significantly decreased chl a, chl b, chl a + b and carotenoid in Matricaria chamomilla 46 . Our results indicate that S. platensis at 0.1% might concomitantly alleviate the adverse effects of heavy metals, promoting plant biomass and enhancing the content of photosynthetic pigments in leaves.…”

“…In this respect, treatments with Spirulina spp. extract increased the antioxidant capacity in Vicia faba under salinity stress 46 . Also, hydrogen-rich water (50%) alleviated oxidative stress caused by Cd (NO 3 ) 2 in cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) explants and induced increases in a nonenzymatic protection system, such as AsA/DHA and GSH/GSSG ratio 53 .…”

In the present study, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the response of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) plants to foliar application of Spirulina platensis at 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4%; soil irrigation with heavy metals (Cd nitrate, Pb acetate, and Cd + Pb, each at 100 ppm), and Spirulina platensis at 0.1% + heavy metals. Spirulina platensis significantly improved growth parameters, oil yield/fed, photosynthetic pigments, and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) with a maximum promoting effect at 0.2% algal extract. On the other hand, heavy metal stress reduced growth criteria, photosynthetic pigments, and oil yield, while, significantly increased levels of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GR) and corresponding non-enzymatic antioxidants (ascorbic acid, total antioxidant capacity, phenolics and flavonoids). Bioaccumulation factor (BF) and translocation factor (TF) indicated that Cd and Pb accumulated largely in the roots, with little transfer to the shoots. Nevertheless, compared with heavy metal treatments, S. platensis at 0.1% significantly increasing growth parameters, oil content, photosynthetic pigments, and the activity of non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants, while, slightly reduced TF of Cd and Pb, alleviated membrane lipid peroxidation, and significantly lowered the content of malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and indole acetic acid oxidase (IAAO) activity in heavy metal (Cd, Pb, and Cd + Pb)-treated rosemary plants.

“…Depending on how the plant reacts to the contaminant, there are three phytoremediation techniques, namely by phytoextraction, phytostabilization and phytovolatilization. Depending on the plant's response to metals, plants are classified into three types: exclusion plants, bioindicator plants and accumulating or hyper-accumulating plants that can take over or store significant amounts of metals in their underground and aerial parts, being used extensively in remedying contaminated soils [5,7,8,[18][19][20][21][22][23]. Phytoremediation represent the ability of plants to absorb metals from the soil through the roots and transport them to the aerial parts of the plant.…”

“…TF is given by the ratio between the metal concentration in the aerial components (stem, leaf or inflorescence) and the metal concentration in the root. Both indices indicate bioaccumulation, respectively translocation when the values are greater than 1 [5,8,13,[18][19][20]23]. The consumption of herbal medicines is used more and more global, conducting numerous studies on the quality and safety of medicinal plants, so the WHO has imposed the determination of toxic metals in plant species used for medicinal, aromatic and food use [24][25][26].…”

The paper presents an experimental laboratory study of the bioaccumulation of the toxic metal arsenic in the medicinal plant chamomile (Matricaria Chamomilla L.). The study makes a comparison regarding the bioaccumulation capacity of the chamomile plant in which arsenic is found as a unique contaminant, as well as in mixtures of 2, 3, or 4 toxic metals (Cd, Ni and Pb) on a natural soil enriched with metals, compared to the chamomile plant developed on an unpolluted substrate. The tests followed the effects of soil pollution with metals on the germination and development of chamomile. The experimental results indicated that arsenic does not bioaccumulate in the chamomile plant, remaining in the soil. The experiment that was an exception is the one with arsenic as the only contaminant (E1) in which at 90 days, the arsenic content in the chamomile plant was 3.58 mg/kg arsenic, the value that is within normal limits, below the phytotoxic value of 5 mg/kg, but was higher than that determined in the plant from the control test experiment (<0.75 mg/kg). The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) after 90 days, in all experiments, either by a combination of metals or a single contaminant had values lower than 1, indicating that the plant does not accumulate arsenic. The total chlorophyll from the results obtained indicates that the toxicity in the E1 experiment is higher than in the metal mixture.
