ACCUMULATION OF HEAVY METALS IN PLANTS GROWING AROUND HOUSEHOLD WASTE FACILITIES
Downloads
The research studied the accumulation of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn in plants growing around household waste
dumps. The analysis revealed that the content of lead (27.83-126.37 mg/kg), copper (29.19-111.05 mg/kg), nickel (11.71-29.65
mg/kg), and zinc (82.5-236.9 mg/kg) was several times higher than the usual maximum allowable concentration (MAC), and in
some cases exceeded toxic limits. Cadmium contamination was observed less frequently compared to other metals. The obtained
results indicate intensive bioaccumulation of heavy metals by plants in landfill areas, posing a serious threat to environmental
safety and food quality.
