In most cases, in soils exposed to heavy metals accumulation, the highest content of heavy
metals was noted in the surface layers of the soil profile. Accumulation of heavy metals may …

The present study was performed at a heavy-traffic affected soil to examine the efficacy of
bioaccumulation and translocation potentials of heavy metals by the naturally growing weed …

ABSTRACT A field study was conducted to investigate translocation and accumulation of
four heavy metals: cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in 10 different plants …

Background: Metal transfer along the food chain has raised concerns about impacts on
