Investigation Potential Biomonitors of Some Elements (Zn, Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Fe, Cu) Verbascum insulare

Heavy metals such as Zn, Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Fe, and Cu were examined using ICP-OES in Verbascum insulare Boiss. & Heldr. (Scrophulariaceae) and soil cultivated. The goal of this research was to see how effective biomonitors may be in heavy metal-polluted environments. Plant and soil samples were collected in 2017 from various sites in their natural habitat. Cr was discovered to have the greatest concentration of all heavy metals in V. insulare Boiss. & Heldr., at 140,55 mg/kg, followed by Pb 63,70 mg/kg and Fe 57,30 mg/kg, while the remaining metals were at low concentrations. The received information was compared to the values recommended by Polish standards. Our findings were put to the test using one-way ANOVA Duncan testing with P0.01 significance thresholds. We discovered that the plants were good biomonitors for remediation approaches. Heavy metals such as Zn, Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Fe, and Cu were discovered in the three places, with overall amounts of metals in the order of Aşkale (L3) > At (L2) > Palandöken Mountain (L1). V. insulare could be used to clean up Cr, Pb, and Fe-contaminated soils. For contaminated heavy metals, this plant can be utilised as a bioindicator and a biomonitor.
