HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN URBAN SOIL: A PHYTOEXTRACTION METHOD REVIEW [PDF]
, 2016 Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) are three common non-essential heavy metals found in urban soils and can prove toxic to animals, humans, and some plants at low concentrations.

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...
