Title

Bio- accumulation potential of wild plant Cassia Occidentalis L. grown on contaminated soil for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb.

Abstract

The contamination of ecosystem by toxic metals has proved hazardous to both plant and man. Due to in-built bio-accumulation mechanism several plants exhibited selective accumulation of metals from contaminated soil in roots and above ground parts of the plants. This study was aimed to assess the bio-accumulation potential for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in the root, stem and leaves of Cassia Occidentalis L. (Ceasalpiniaceae) grown on waste dump site, by analyzing bi-accumulated levels of studied metals in soil and plant parts. The bio-concentration factors (BCFs) and translocation factors (TFs) for studied metals were evaluated. The order of metal concentrations in soil was found as Cr (5.86± 0.34) > Pb (4.57 ±0.23) >Cu (1.67± 0.16) > Ni (1.58± 0.13) > Cd (0.48± 0.04, mg/Kg). The bio-concentration factors (BCFs) computed for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb were 1.06, 0.75, 0.57, 0.51 and 0.86, respectively. The computed translocation factors from root to stem (TFStem) for tested metals in Cassia Occidentalis were, 1.62, 1.5, 1.91, 1.58 and 1.54, respectively. However, the root to leaves translocation factor (TFLeaf) were computed as, 0.56, 0.91, 1.22, 0.75 and 0.91, respectively.

Key Words
