Abstract
Bioavailability of metals occurring in soil is the basic source of its accumulation in plants. The
impact of soil pollution (due to urban and mining areas) on the food chain presents a challenge for many investigations. Bioavailability of metals in a potentially polluted soil and their possible transfer
and bioaccumulation in several vegetable species and herbs was examined. Microwave digestion was
applied for total digestion of the plant tissues, while on the soil samples open wet digestion with a
mixture of acids was applied. Three extraction methods were implemented for determination of
bioavailable metals in the soil. Atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma was
used for determination of the total contents of 21 elements. Significant enrichments in agricultural soil
for As, Pb and Zn (in urban area), Cd, Cu and Ni (in a copper mine area), compared with the respective
values from European standards were detected. On the basis of three different extraction methods,
higher availability was assumed for both lithogenic and anthropogenic elements. Translocation factors
higher than 1 were obtained for As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. Higher root to shoot translocation of these
metals indicated that plants species have vital characteristics to be used for phytoextraction of these
metals. The obtained data also suggested that Spinacia oleracea and Rumex acetosa were singled out to
have a phytostabilization potential for Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb, while U. dioica only for Cu. R. acetosa has a
potential for phytoextraction of Cd in urban and copper polluted areas.
