Survey Effectiveness of Althea officinalin Pb Heavy Metal Accumulation

Nowadays due to the diffusion of various types of contamination, particularly heavy metals, into soil, the subject of soil pollution has gotten special significance. Indeed, lead is a heavy metal that enters soil from various sources, specifically through burning gasoline. The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytoremediation potential of marshmallow plant (Althea officinalis( for the absorption of lead.
In this study, the uptake of lead by marshmallow plant was examined in the city of Ahvaz during 1392. The investigation was carried out through the use of lead nitrate while watering plants, and was followed by sampling and extraction of the roots and shoots. Digestion of the samples and measurements were analyzed by atomic absorption. Consequently, the results were considered in great detail using Spss software.
Findings: The results indicated the maximum absorption with attracting 50.96 micrograms per kilogram in the blossom after the treatment of 25 ppm. Treated with 50 ppm maximum absorption occurred at the root with 63.24 micrograms per kilogram, and in the treatment of 100 ppm maximum absorption was observed in the blossom with the 43.50 mg kg. Overall, following the treatment of 50 ppm, the root contributed for the maximum absorption with 63.24 mg kg, and the leaf had the minimum absorption with 26.35 mg kg.
Conclusion and Results obtained from this study illustrated that marshmallow is a potential extracting plant. It is recommended this plant be examined for the absorption of other heavy metals.
