Biomonitoring of Soil Pollution Using Plants on Roadsides of Mysuru
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 13
Abstract
Soil pollution assessing capacity using plants with accumulative capacity has been studied. Plant samples were collected from roadsides of traffic and residential sites. The concentration of heavy metals and some physico chemical parameters were analyzed using ICP and standard methods. Correlations were attempted between physicochemical parameters and heavy metals in plants. The heavy metals concentration in soil was in the order Fe>Mn>Zn>Cr>Ni>Cu>Pb>Cd. The uptake of heavy metals by plants depends on the absorption capacity of plants. Calotropis procera showed highest absorption capacity followed by Mangifera indica, Cynodon dactylon, Solanum nigrum and Dalbergia sissoo.
