Studying the ability of both species, Ricnius Communis and Phragmites Communis to accumulate Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd)

This study aimed to study the accumulative abilities Ricnius Communis & Phragmites Communis for lead and cadmium. This plants are native near the RMAILAH river in JABLAH city. The plants samples were collected from leafs, wood, and bark for plant species, the soil samples were taken at (0-20)cm depth. Concentration of heavy metals were determined in soils and plants with "Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer" Our results showed that the amounts of pb in the soil samples were 61.89ppm. The concentrations of lead pb in the parts of Ricnius Communis range between 4.3 to 5.81ppm; in the parts of Phragmites Communis range between 1.46 to 2.32ppm. According to statistics analysis Ricnius leaves surpass Ricnius wood and bark with accumulate lead; and Ricnius surpass Phragmites with accumulate lead too. Our results showed that the amounts of cd in the soil samples were 3.081ppm. The concentrations of Cd in the parts of Ricnius Communis range between 0.031 to 0.061ppm; in the parts of Phragmites Communis range between 0.031-0.055ppm. According to statistics analysis there is no moral differences between Ricnius and Phragmites with accumulate cadmium.

The Accumulative Capacity of three plant species ( Eucaleptus camaldulensis L., Acacia cyanophylla L. and Ricinus communis L.) to cadmium

This study aims to compare the ability of three plant species (Eucaleptus camaldulensis L., Acacia cyanophylla L. and Ricinus communis L.) on the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) resulting from the different existing pollution sources in the study area (Abdul Qader Al Husseini Street - Latakia) especially resulting from traffic. The samples were collected from different parts (leaves, wood, bark) of the species mentioned in addition to samples of the soil, then the samples were processed and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed a difference in the content of cadmium in the studied species, ranged between (0.25 mg/kg) and (0.42 mg/kg) dry weight, where the highest content in Ricinus wood (0.42 mg/kg) and then Eucalyptus wood (0.4 mg/kg) and minimum content in Acacia wood (0.32mg/kg). Ricinus and Acacia showed high ability to accumulate cadmium reaching Bioconcentration factor (BF=1.33) for Ricinus and (BF=1.13) for Acacia

تعد التربة والماء أهم المصادر الطبيعية غالية الثمن التي يستخدمها الإنسان في الزراعة و التمدن ولكن أصبحت عرضة للتلوث على نحو خطير بسبب الأنشطة البشرية حيث ربط الباحثون المشاكل البيئية بالتقدم الصناعي الهائل الذي بدأ في العام 1950 وكذلك بالأنشطة الزراعية والذي بدأ في النصف الأول من القرن العشرين
