Abstract

Background and Objective: Heavy metals enter the environment directly and indirectly with the development of various industries of metal smelting, mining, and chemical industries. Physical and chemical methods of soil purification from heavy metals are used due to high costs and less time-consuming. Phytoremediation is a low-cost and relatively fast solution to soil pollution and increases biodiversity, reduces erosion, and increases soil fertility.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the phytoremediation potential of the Camelina plant in removing heavy metals Pb and Cd from soil was investigated. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with Cd (0, 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg) and Pb (0, 100, 300, and 600 mg/kg) treatments with 3 replications in the greenhouse of Razi University in Kermanshah.
Results: The results showed that with increasing the concentration of Pb and Cd, the accumulation of these elements in the roots of the Camelina plant increased significantly. Most soil biological properties at the highest concentrations of Cd and Pb were significantly reduced compared to the control.
Conclusion: The high concentration of Pb and Cd in the roots of the plant and the low transfer factor of these elements, indicate the greater efficiency of this plant for use in plant stabilization techniques, and we cannot be used to extract heavy metals lead and cadmium from soil.
