Evaluation of Pb+2 and Zn+2 cations in the soil and parts of juniper and scots pine at the Sastavci quarry
Čukarić Jovana | Tomović Milica | Antović Jelena
This research was conducted with the aim of determining the concentration of Pb+2 and Zn+2 in parts of evergreen plant species, the Scots pine and juniper at the Sastavci quarry and its immediate surroundings. Due to many anthropogenic activities on a global level, pollution with toxic and dangerous metal cations occurs. In addition, abandoned mining areas represent one of the biggest environmental issues. Phytoremediation is one of the most innovative techniques used for the rehabilitation of mining areas. The results have shown that the sampled soils were highly contaminated with lead and zinc in the open pit areas and in their immediate vicinity, because the obtained concentrations exceeded the corresponding limit and remediation values. Based on the calculated bioaccumulation and translocation factors, it can be concluded that evergreen plant species, the Scots pine and juniper are not suitable for phytoremediation purposes.
