The variability of arsenic and other risk element uptake by individual plant species growing on contaminated soil

Original language description

Surrounding Kutná Hora (Czech Republic) are areas characterized by former silver mining activity. The Aqua Regia extractable (i.e. ?pseudo-total?) element values in soils exceeded the Czech threshold values representing 30 mg kg-1 As, 1.0 mg kg-1 Cd, 200mg kg-1 Cr, 80 mg kg-1 Ni, 140 mg kg-1 Pb and 200 mg kg-1 Zn, by up to 15-fold for zinc, 30-fold for cadmium and even 80-fold for arsenic. Mobile portions of elements determined in 0.11 mol L-1 CH3COOH solution did not exceed 1% of the ?pseudo-total? element content for As, Cr, and Pb. Transferfactors, given as a ratio of element content in plant and its ?pseudo-total? content in soil, varied from 0.0003 to 0.003 for As, from 0.001 to 0.174 for Cd, and from 0.016 to 0.169 for Zn. Evidently, the analyzed plant species are characterized by low ability to take up the risk elements and translocate them to aboveground biomass and the potential risk for animals consuming this biomass is negligible.
