In this study, heavy metal content (Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) was determined in soils and different organs of Verbascum olympicum Boiss. This species is endemic to Uludağ and spreads on destroyed areas such as: roadsides, developed building areas, ski lift stations and sheep folds. Soils and different organs (roots, stems, leaves and flowers) of plant samples were analyzed using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer for determining the element content. Heavy metal contents in soils and different organs in this species were highly correlated (P < 0.05). However, the contribution of plant organs to the accumulation capacity varied according to the metal. These results suggest that this species may be useful as a bioindicator for heavy metals.

Levels of lead, cadmium, and nickel in roadside soils and vegetables along a  major highway in Gazipur, Bangladesh were investigated. Soil samples were  collected at distances of 0, 50, 100, and 1000 m (meter) from the road. The  concentrations of lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni) in soil and vegetables (bottle gourd  and pumpkin) decreased with distance from the road, indicating their relation to  traffic and automotive emissions. The concentration of cadmium (Cd) was found  to be independent of distance from road. There were significant differences in  the concentrations of lead, cadmium, and nickel for different plant species and  soils at various distances. The heavy metals contents both in the soils and  vegetables for every distance from the road was found in the order  nickel>lead>cadmium. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v37i1.11170 Bangladesh J.

This research work aimed at assessment of some heavy metal concentration (Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in soil and their uptake by Hibiscus sabdariffa vegetable in irrigation areas, and to ascertain the danger posed from the consumption of these vegetable to human health. Samples were collected from four different locations and analyzed using bulk scientific Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration of heavy metals (mg/kg) in agricultural soil collected from different sites along river Yadzaram ranged from 8.33 to 15.54 for Fe, 0.051 to 0.227 for Cu, 7.245 to 8.545 for Mn, 0.001 to 0.002 for Ni, 0.474 to 1.744 for Zn, and 0.001 to 0.005 for Pb. Fe concentration in plants (Hibiscus sabdariffa) ranged between 6.50 to 16.42 mg/kg in all four sites of the studied area, Cu values ranged between 0.30 to 0.72 mg/kg. The concentration of Mn in plants ranged from 2.73 to 12.09 mg/kg, Ni concentration in plant samples from four site varied from 0.001 to 0.004 mg/kg, Zn concentration varied from 0.98 to 1.99 mg/kg and Pb range values of 0.00 to 0.007 mg/kg. The contamination/ pollution index of heavy metals calculated for soil revealed that all sites were polluted with Fe at Kwacham, Wuro-gude, Kwachiffa and Sabon Gari site which suggested that it might pose negative effect on plants and soil environments while Ni, Zn, Mn, Cu and Pb are below range and will have no negative effect on soil, plant and environments.
