镉胁迫下蓖麻对镉及矿质元素的富集特征

目前中国农田遭受镉污染的情况日益严重。蓖麻(Ricinus communis L.)是一种能源作物,同时对镉有较高的耐性和富集能力,因此利用蓖麻资源为合理利用镉污染农田提供了一种可行的途径。在温室条件下(5~32℃)采用盆栽试验,设定2个镉质量分数梯度(2.396和5.396 mg·kg-1),研究镉胁迫下30种蓖麻品种茎、叶和果实对镉和矿质元素(铝、钼、铜、钙、锌、硫、磷、镁、锰和铁)吸收和富集特征,以及矿质营养元素与镉富集的相关性。结果表明:镉在不同组织的分布情况为茎叶果实,铝、钼、硫、锰和铁在不同组织的分布为叶果实茎,钙和镁在不同组织的分布为叶茎果实,铜、锌和磷在不同组织的分布为果实叶茎。在低镉质量分数(2.396 mg·kg-1)处理条件下,茎、叶和果实中镉质量分数变化范围分别为0.600~1.670、0.310~1.970和0.130~0.909 mg·kg-1,平均值分别为1.030、0.831和0.362 mg·kg-1。在高镉质量分数(5.396mg·kg-1)处理条件下,茎、叶和果实中镉质量分数变化范围分别为1.012~4.032、0.698~3.514和0.227~1.525 mg·kg-1,平均值分别为1.964、1.583和0.694 mg·kg-1。蓖麻茎、叶和果实对镉和矿质元素(铝、钼、铜、钙、锌、硫、磷、镁、锰和铁)的富集受蓖麻品种和土壤中镉含量的显著影响。钙、硫、镁、铁的积累与镉的吸收呈显著正相关关系;锌、锰、铜、磷的积累与镉的吸收呈显著负相关关系,而铝、钼的积累与镉的吸收无显著相关关系。因此,合理调控污染土壤中矿质元素的含量可以提高蓖麻对镉污染土壤的修复效率。     

土壤中三种盐对油菜富集镉的影响

为了利用被镉污染的盐土,通过实验分析镉污染盐土中三种盐对油菜（Brassica napus）富集镉影响的差异性,探明不同类型镉污染盐土上种植油菜的植物修复效果。以镉超累积植物油菜为研究植物,通过温室盆栽土培试验,将油菜在含有不同质量分数盐（wS：0 g·kg^-1,2 g·kg^-1,4 g·kg^-1,6 g·kg^-1）的含镉（wCd：10 mg·kg^-1）土壤中培养60天,研究油菜对镉的生物富集因子、植株内地上部分和根部镉的质量分数变化。选择土壤中三种主要盐的类型,即氯化钠、硫酸钠和碳酸钠作为分析和研究对象。结果表明,含碳酸钠的土壤对油菜吸收镉有抑制作用,含硫酸钠的土壤对油菜吸收镉也有抑制作用,但效果没有碳酸钠的土壤大,含氯化钠的土壤对油菜吸收镉的影响不显著,只是在高质量分数时对油菜吸收镉有一些促进作用。在含不同类型盐的土壤中,不同土壤盐对油菜富集镉的能力也有显著的差异,土壤中氯化钠对油菜根部富集镉的能力没有显著影响,而对油菜地上部分富集镉的能力有一定的促进作用;土壤中的碳酸钠对油菜地上和地下部分富集镉的能力都有显著的抑制作用,不利于油菜对镉的富集。     

木本植物对土壤镉污染物吸收蓄积能力及其种间差异

木本植物以其自己特有的生物学特性,对土壤镉污染物具有一定的吸收蓄积能力,并使树木本身仍然正常生长,为今后镉污染土地的治理与改造开辟出一条新途径。通过对10个树种的单因子盆载试验和镉污染现场试验林的分析结果表明,在不同土壤镉浓度条件下,盆载树木在—个生长期内对土壤镉的吸收蓄积置可超过对照植株的2～32倍。在镉含量为4.5～5.2ppm 的污染现场,树木吸镉量最高可达35.8ppm。木本植物因树种不同,对土壤镉的吸收蓄积能力存在明显的种间差异。分析结果表明,杨柳科树种均有较强的吸收蓄积能力,刺槐、紫穗槐等豆科植物和榆树、桑树则是吸收蓄积土壤镉能力较弱的树种,它们的蓄积系数一般在0.5以下。以上可为木本植物为主体的生态工程治理镉污染土地提供树种选择依据。     

桂林市土壤和蔬菜镉含量调查及食用安全性评估

对桂林市蔬菜和菜地土壤镉含量进行调查,评价其累积状况,并评估人体经食用蔬菜摄入镉的安全性。结果显示,桂林市菜地土壤镉含量空间变异较大,呈现西北部和西南部低、东北部和东南部高的分布特点;与背景样点相比,菜地土壤镉累积效应显著,土壤镉含量范围、中值、算术均值和几何均值分别为0.056～17.35、0.624、1.193和0.696 mg.kg-1,超标率为85.5%。蔬菜镉含量范围、中值和几何均值分别为0.09～663.2、29.4和29.2μg.kg-1(以鲜质量计),综合超标率为4.95%;叶菜类蔬菜镉含量显著高于根茎类和瓜果类,花菜、韭菜、大白菜、大葱、芋头、豆苗、萝卜、菠菜、大蒜和蕃茄的镉富集系数较低,抗镉污染能力较强。桂林市居民人均通过食用蔬菜的镉摄入量为9.08μg.d-1,对普通人群不存在明显的食用安全风险。     

镉对不同硝酸盐累积型小白菜及根际土壤氮素转化的影响

镉污染是农业生态和农产品安全的重大威胁。采用盆栽方法,对比分析硝酸盐高、低累积型品种的小白菜Brassica chinens(前者为品种H,抗病矮脚黄;后者为品种L,金夏时青梗菜)对镉污染的响应,探究不同镉水平对小白菜-土壤系统氮素吸收和转化效应,以期为城郊蔬菜的安全生产提供依据。结果表明,在土壤镉质量分数为0~0.5 mg·kg-1时,小白菜生长不受影响,品种间氮素累积量为品种H品种L。随着镉质量分数的增加,2个品种小白菜生物量均显著降低,品种H单株鲜质量最大降幅达20%,表现更为敏感。镉质量分数高于0.5 mg·kg-1时,显著降低了品种H的氮素吸收和利用,而对低累积品种影响不显著。2个品种小白菜体内硝酸盐含量均在较低的镉质量分数(0.5~1.0 mg·kg-1)处理下有所降低,而当镉质量分数达5.0 mg·kg-1时有所增加,同样是品种H表现更为敏感。随着镉污染水平的增加,小白菜体内镉积累量显著增加,其中品种H在镉质量分数达5.0 mg·kg-1时,累积速率明显降低。通过一元二次模型拟合镉和土壤无机氮质量分数可以得出,镉质量分数为7.1 mg·kg-1时,2个品种小白菜土壤无机氮质量分数均达到最高,分别为34.83和23.73 mg·kg-1。不同品种小白菜在镉污染水平较低时,均具有一定的抗性,而随着镉含量的增加,不同品种对镉毒害响应不同。因此,城郊土壤不同镉污染区域小白菜的种植可依据其品种特性进行选择,从而为蔬菜的生长和土壤的改良提供保障。     

不同比例钾锌共存对土壤镉有效性的影响

单一施用钾或锌肥会改变污染土壤中镉的有效性,但钾与锌共存对镉在土壤-植物系统中迁移和转化影响效果尚待明确.采用盆栽试验,研究了赤红壤上2种镉污染水平下,施用不同比例钾、锌对小油菜(Brassica campetris Lvar.Conmuni)生物量、镉吸收量及土壤溶液中镉质量浓度的影响.结果表明,钾、锌以不同比例与镉共存时并不会对赤红壤上小油菜的生长产生明显影响;增加共存体系中锌的用量,土壤溶液中镉的质量浓度明显升高,而小油菜植株镉含量明显降低.低、高镉污染赤红壤上,钾、锌共存摩尔比例为4:1时,土壤溶液中镉的质量浓度较对照分别增加189%和159%(两季平均值);小油菜体内镉含量较对照平均分别降低26.0%和34.9%.在低镉污染赤红壤上,钾、锌施用量与小油菜体内镉含量呈显著负相关;高镉污染赤红壤上,锌施用量与土壤溶液中镉的质量浓度呈显著正相关.中轻度镉污染土壤上,小油菜钾、锌肥最佳施用比例为4:1.钾、锌以不同比例施入土壤时,锌施用量多少是控制土壤镉有效性高低的主要因素.     

不同品种蓖麻对镉的响应及修复能力评价

蓖麻(Ricinus communis L.)是一种有价值的能源作物,可用于修复镉污染农田同时生产生物能源。本研究在温室条件下(5~32℃)采用盆栽试验,设定2个镉质量分数梯度(2和5 mg·kg~(-1)),对比研究镉胁迫下30个蓖麻品种的生长状况,评估蓖麻对镉的耐性及蓖麻茎、叶和果实中镉的富集特征,以及不同蓖麻品种对镉的修复能力。研究发现,随着土壤中镉质量分数增加,10个蓖麻品种的生物量增加,20个蓖麻品种的生物量减少;表明不同品种蓖麻对镉的耐受程度不同。2 mg·kg~(-1)镉胁迫下,茎、叶和果实中镉质量分数变化范围分别为0.600~1.670、0.310~1.970和0.130~0.909 mg·kg~(-1),平均值分别为1.030、0.831和0.362 mg·kg~(-1)。5 mg·kg~(-1)镉胁迫下,茎、叶和果实中镉质量分数变化范围分别为1.012~4.032、0.698~3.514和0.227~1.525mg·kg~(-1),平均值分别为1.964、1.583和0.694 mg·kg~(-1)。蓖麻地上部分对镉的富集能力大小依次为茎、叶、果实。基于蓖麻品种茎、叶和果实中镉的质量分数,采用聚类分析的方法分析发现,30个蓖麻品种对镉的富集能力存在差异:4个蓖麻品种为高镉富集型,25个蓖麻品种为低镉富集型。根据蓖麻地上部分中镉质量分数及富集系数(小于1),判断蓖麻不是镉的超富集植物。2 mg·kg~(-1)镉胁迫下,蓖麻地上部分吸收的镉含量变化范围为26.3~65.7μg·pot~(-1),平均值为42.4μg·pot~(-1)。5 mg·kg~(-1)镉胁迫下,蓖麻地上部分吸收的镉含量变化范围为37.0~121.6μg·pot~(-1),平均值为76.0μg·pot~(-1)。蓖麻地上部分对镉的富集能力及提取能力主要由品种决定,受土壤中镉浓度的影响相对较小。因此,蓖麻作为一种潜在的镉的植物修复作物,不适用于植物提取的用途,可用于植物固定的用途;选用对镉具有较高耐性蓖麻品种种植可以在健康合理地利用镉污染农田的同时生产生物能源。     

不同比例钙锌共存对土壤镉有效性的影响及其机制

采用盆栽试验,研究了赤红壤上两种镉污染水平下,施用不同比例钙锌对小油菜(Brassica Campetris,Lvar Conmuni)生物量、镉吸收量及土壤溶液中镉、钙、锌质量浓度的影响.结果表明,钙、锌以不同比例共存时并不会对赤红壤上小油菜的生长产生明显的影响;随着锌用量增加,土壤溶液中锌的质量浓度明显增加,土壤溶液中镉的质量浓度明显升高.小油菜体内镉含量明显降低;高镉污染赤红壤上,钙锌共存中钙用量增加,土壤溶液中钙的质量浓度明显增加.低、高镉污染赤红壤上,钙、锌共存摩尔比例为4:1时,小油菜体内镉含量较对照平均分别降低34.2%和27.3%(两季平均值);而土壤溶液中镉的质量浓度较对照分别增加307%和120%.在低镉污染赤红壤上,锌施用量与小油菜体内镉含量呈显著负相关;高镉污染赤红壤上,锌施用量与土壤溶液中镉的质量浓度呈显著正相关.钙、锌以不同比例施入土壤时,锌施用量多少是控制土壤镉有效性高低的主要因素.     

棉秆炭对镉污染土壤的修复效果

采用盆栽方法,研究了棉秆炭对镉污染土壤的修复效果及对镉污染土壤上小白菜(Brassica chinensis)镉吸收的影响.结果表明:以微孔为主的棉秆炭能够通过吸附或共沉淀作用降低土壤中镉的生物有效性.在轻度镉污染时,棉秆炭处理土壤对镉的吸附速率较快,随着镉污染程度的增加.吸附速率逐渐减慢,吸附量逐渐增加.棉秆炭能够明显降低镉污染土壤上小白菜可食部和根部的镉积累量,可食部镉质量分数降低49.43%～68.29%,根部降低64.14%～77.66%,说明棉秆炭具有修复土壤镉污染,降低蔬菜镉含量的作用,可提高蔬菜品质.     

冬季农田杂草繁缕对镉的积累特性研究

为进一步筛选出更多的镉超富集植物作为植物修复的材料,本文以冬季农田杂草作为研究对象,采用土壤种子库-金属筛选法进行筛选,以期从冬季农田杂草中筛选出镉超富集植物,为镉污染农田土壤的冬季植物修复提供材料。通过土壤种子库-金属筛选法初步研究发现,冬季农田杂草繁缕(Stellaria media)地上部分镉含量接近超富集植物的临界值(100 mg·kg-1),但转运系数(TF)小于1,可能是镉富集植物。为此,采用盆栽试验进行了进一步的浓度梯度鉴定。结果表明,随土壤镉含量的增加,繁缕根系生物量、地上部分生物量、主枝长度、根系长度、抗性系数及耐性系数均随土壤镉含量的增加而下降,但繁缕根系及地上部分镉含量呈显著增加的趋势。与对照相比,在土壤镉质量分数为25、50、75、100和125 mg·kg-1时,繁缕总生物量分别下降了17.31%、34.87%、44.79%、52.12%和59.32%,但各个处理均没有表现出明显毒害症状。土壤镉含量为75~125 mg·kg-1时,繁缕地上部分镉含量均大于100 mg·kg-1,最大值为135.79 mg·kg-1,地上部分富集系数(BCF)大于1,但转运系数(TF)小于1。在土壤镉含量为100 mg·kg-1时,繁缕地上部分镉提取量达到最大值,为87.42μg·plant-1。这些结果表明繁缕是一种镉富集植物。虽然繁缕的单株镉提取率较低,但繁缕具有分蘖力强、繁殖力强、生长密度大、耐荫性强等特点,因此适用于冬季农田镉污染的修复。     

Heavy metal contamination in soils and food crops around Dabaoshan mine in Guangdong,China: implication for human health

This study was designed to investigate heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd) contamination levels of soils, vegetables, and rice grown in the vicinity of the Dabaoshan mine, south China. The concentration of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in paddy soil exceeded the maximum allowable concentrations for Chinese agricultural soil. The heavy metal concentrations (mg kg⁻¹, dry weight basis) in vegetables ranged from 5.0 to 14.3 for Cu, 34.7 to 170 for Zn, 0.90 to 2.23 for Pb, and 0.45 to 4.1 for Cd. The concentrations of Pb and Cd in rice grain exceeded the maximum permissible limits in China. Dietary intake of Pb and Cd through the consumption of rice and certain vegetable exceeded the recommended dietary allowance levels. The status of heavy metal concentrations of food crops grown in the vicinity of Dabaoshan mine and their implications for human health should be further investigated.     

Influence of temperature on the heavy metals accumulation of five vegetable species in semiarid area of northwest China

The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible effects of temperature on cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) accumulation in five vegetable species collected at different sites (Shuichuan, Beiwan, Dongwan and Wufe) in northwest China. The meteorological data of air and soil temperatures were recorded daily during the period from sowing to harvest for the five vegetables. The air and soil temperatures affected the capacity of pumpkin, cabbage, brassica napus and Chinese cabbage to accumulate Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb. Principal component analysis showed that temperature, photosynthetic and physiological factors all contributed to the soil–plant transfer properties of DTPA-extractable heavy metals. Temperature played a more important role in Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn accumulation in four vegetables in this semiarid area. However, the enormous surface area of spinach was likely to elevate heavy metal loads owing to atmospheric deposits. For most vegetables studied, there was a striking dissimilarity in the uptake and translocation ability of Cd, Zn and Cu in soil, but similar accumulation to translocation for Pb in soil.     

Risk assessment for safety of soils and vegetables around a lead/zinc mine

Concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu) were determined in soils and vegetables (chrysanthemum, spinach and four cultivars of Chinese cabbage from the area adjacent to a Pb/Zn mine in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, China, and compared with the Chinese National Standards for Soil Environmental Quality. The accumulation of heavy metals in cabbage cv. Siyuegreen was investigated at different distances from the center of the mine. The vegetable plantation soils were polluted with Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn, especially by Pb and Cd. The levels of Pb and Cd were 20 and 30 times higher than the permitted standards, indicating that this Pb/Zn mining area is unsuitable for agricultural use. Chinese cabbage, chrysanthemum and spinach had different enrichment coefficients. The enrichment coefficient of Cd from soil to roots of chrysanthemum was >80% and from roots to leaves of cabbage cv. Shanghaigreen was >120%. These vegetables were polluted by heavy metals and could not be regarded as safe for human consumption. Environmental accumulation of heavy metals in the vegetable plantation soils was proportional to heavy metal accumulation in vegetables and both were inversely proportional to the distance from the lead/zinc mine.     

Health risk assessment of potentially harmful elements and dietary minerals from vegetables irrigated with untreated wastewater,Pakistan

In the developing world, vegetables are commonly grown in suburban areas irrigated with untreated wastewater containing potentially harmful elements (PHEs). In Pakistan, there is no published work on the bioaccessibility aspect of PHEs and dietary minerals (DMs) in sewage-irrigated soil or the vegetables grown on such soils in Pakistan. Several industrial districts of Pakistan were selected for assessment of the risk associated with the ingestion of vegetables grown over sewage-irrigated soils. Both the total and bioaccessible fraction of PHEs (Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, and Pb) and DMs (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Ca, Mg, and I) in soils and vegetable samples were measured. The concentrations of these PHEs and DMs in sewage-irrigated and control soils were below published upper threshold limits. However, compared to control soils, sewage irrigation over the years decreased soil pH (7.7 vs 8.1) and enhanced dissolved organic carbon (1.8 vs 0.8 %), which could enhance the phyto-availability of PHEs and DMs to crops. Of the PHEs and DMs, the highest transfer factor (soil to plant) was noted for Cd and Ca, respectively. Concentrations of PHEs in most of the sewage-irrigated vegetables were below the published upper threshold limits, except for Cd in the fruiting portion of eggplant and bell pepper (0.06–0.08 mg/kg Cd, dry weight) at three locations in Gujarat and Kasur districts. The bioaccessible fraction of PHEs can reduce the context of dietary intake measurements compared to total concentrations, but differences between both measurements were not significant for Cd. Since the soils of the sampled districts are not overly contaminated compared to control sites, vegetables grown over sewage-irrigated soils would provide an opportunity to harvest mineral-rich vegetables potentially providing consumers 62, 60, 12, 104, and 63 % higher dietary intake of Cu, Mn, Zn, Ca, and Mg, respectively. Based on Fe and vanadium correlations in vegetables, it is inferred that a significant proportion of total dietary Fe intake could be contributed by soil particles adhered to the consumable portion of vegetables. Faecal sterol ratios were used to identify and distinguish the source of faecal contamination in soils from Gujranwala, Gujarat, and Lahore districts, confirming the presence of human-derived sewage biomarkers at different stages of environmental alteration. A strong correlation of some metals with soil organic matter concentration was observed, but none with sewage biomarkers.     

Assessment of drain water receiving effluent from tanneries and its impact on soil and plants with particular emphasis on bioaccumulation of heavy metals

In the present study, impact of tannery and other industrial effluents on the physico-chemical characteristics of loamy drain water and their consequent impact on soil and plants irrigated with effluent have been studied. The study reveals most of the parameter pH, BOD5 and COD at sampling station I was higher than station II. Waste water quality at both Stations I and II exceeded prescribed limits (BIS) for safe disposal of effluents into the surface water Samples of soil and vegetables from the land irrigated with loamy drain water has been collected and analyzed for Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr Pb and Cd. The different metals showed different enrichment factor for loamy drain water irrigated soil and are as follows: Cd 30% (max), Pb 26%, Zn 18%, Cr 5%, Cu 5%, Ni 2% (min). For plant samples collected at polluted sites are Ni 46% spinach (whole plant) (max), Zn 42% spinach (whole plant), Cr 39% spinach (whole plant), Cu 33% spinach (whole plant), Pb 20% potato tuber, Cd 20% potato tuber (min). The levels of Zn 145, Cu 5.25, and Ni 39.25 microg/ g in spinach, Pb 29.25, Cr 38. 25 and Cd 3.2 microg/g in potato tuber grown on polluted soil irrigated with contaminated drain water were found more than the reference value, which may create chronic health hazard problem to human and cattle through food chain in long run. Accumulation of toxic heavy metals may be build up in the agriculturally productive land where it is treated with contaminated effluent enrich with metals in turn bio-concentrated in the edible fodder/plants.     

Measurement of metal bioaccessibility in vegetables to improve human exposure assessments: field study of soil–plant–atmosphere transfers in urban areas,South China

The quality of cultivated consumed vegetables in relation to environmental pollution is a crucial issue for urban and peri-urban areas, which host the majority of people at the global scale. In order to evaluate the fate of metals in urban soil–plant–atmosphere systems and their consequences on human exposure, a field study was conducted at two different sites near a waste incinerator (site A) and a highway (site B). Metal concentrations were measured in the soil, settled atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and vegetables. A risk assessment was performed using both total and bioaccessible metal concentrations in vegetables. Total metal concentrations in PM were (mg kg^?1): (site A) 417 Cr, 354 Cu, 931 Zn, 6.3 Cd and 168 Pb; (site B) 145 Cr, 444 Cu, 3289 Zn, 2.9 Cd and 396 Pb. Several total soil Cd and Pb concentrations exceeded China’s Environmental Quality Standards. At both sites, there was significant metal enrichment from the atmosphere to the leafy vegetables (correlation between Pb concentrations in PM and leaves: r = 0.52, p < 0.05) which depended on the plant species. Total Cr, Cd and Pb concentrations in vegetables were therefore above or just under the maximum limit levels for foodstuffs according to Chinese and European Commission regulations. High metal bioaccessibility in the vegetables (60–79 %, with maximum value for Cd) was also observed. The bioaccessible hazard index was only above 1 for site B, due to moderate Pb and Cd pollution from the highway. In contrast, site A was considered as relatively safe for urban agriculture.

4种草对铅锌尾矿污染土壤重金属的抗性与吸收特性

盆栽试验的结果表明,高羊毛、早熟禾、黑麦草、紫花苜蓿在纯尾矿污染土壤或经处理的尾矿污染土壤上都能生长,但在处理的土壤上生长的植物长势明显优于对照,其中紫花苜蓿的生物量所受影响比其他几种草坪草更大,说明其重金属抗性低于其他几种植物。单位面积上 4 种植物体内重金属质量分数高低均为 w(Zn)>w(Pb)>w(Cu)>w(Cd),但每种植物对 Cd、Pb、Zn 和 Cu 的吸收质量分数和分布均不相同,一般为根系质量分数大于茎叶。加入改良剂(CaCO3)和有机肥(菜枯)使生长在铅锌尾矿污染土壤上的 4 种草坪草生物量显著增加,植物体中的 Cd、Pb、Zn 质量分数下降,但 Cu 质量分数反而上升,结果单位面积上草坪草吸收各重金属元素的量均有所增加,可见利用改良措施与草坪草相结合的方法来修复重金属污染土壤具有可行性。     

Cadmium,copper, and zinc in carrots in Japan

Cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in carrots obtained from different regions throughout Japan were assessed in a baseline study on the contents of trace metals in foods. These three metals were measured by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The geometric mean contents (with one geometric standard deviation indicated in parentheses) of Cd, Cu, and Zn were 0.02 (2.2), 0.7 (2.1), and 2.4 (1.6) mg?kg^?1 wet weight in carrots obtained in Japan. While there was a close relationship among the contents of the three metals in the carrots grown in Cambisols and Gleysols, a significant relationship was recognized only between the contents of Cd and Zn in those grown in Andosols and Fluvic Gleysols. Cd and Zn are classified as 2B metals in the periodic table of elements, and the authors speculate that the similarity of the metal characteristics between Cd and Zn may be responsible for the close relationship in the contents of the two metals, with no relation to the soil type.     

五种重金属在小麦植株不同器官中的分布特征

为研究Cd、Pb、As、Cu、Zn等5种重金属在小麦植株不同器官的分布特征，以郑州9023为供试品种，采用田间试验方法，应用原子吸收分光光度法和电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法(ICPS)分别测定了小麦植株不同器官的重金属质量分数并进行了分析。结果表明，小麦植株中较易富集Cd的器官是根、叶及废弃物，较易富集Pd、As的器官是根、茎及废弃物，较易富集Zn、Cu的器官是根、茎和籽粒；在这5种重金属中，Zn在小麦茎和籽粒中的富集系数最高，Cd在地上部分其他器官的富集系数最高，而Pb在这些器官中富集系数均为最低，Cu和As则居中。
