The contents of risk elements, arsenic speciation, and possible interactions of elements and betalains in beetroot (Beta vulgaris, L.) growing in contaminated soil
Original language description
The effect of enhanced soil risk element (As, Cd, Pb, and Zn) contents on the uptake of theseelements and transformation of arsenic and its compounds in beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) plants was investigated in two pot experiments. The mobile fractions of elements were determined in 0.05 mol.L-1 (NH4)2SO4 extracts and did not exceed 2% of total soil arsenic, 9% of total cadmium, 3% of total lead, and 8% of total zinc, respectively. Evidently, although the soils were extremely contaminated the mobile portions of the elements represented only fragment of the total element content. Arsenic contents in beet plants reached up to 25 mg As kg-1 in roots and 48 mg As kg-1 in leaves on the soil characterized by the highest mobile arsenic portion. Arsenic portionsextractable with water and phosphate buffer from the beetroot samples did not show significant differences between the extraction agents but the extractability was affected by the arsenic concentration in beetroot. Arsenic was almost quan
