Abstract

The present study is aimed at assessing the bioaccumulation and translocation of Cr, Cu, As, Cd, Hg, Pb and Zn in the soil–plant system (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) and characterising soil contamination in the anthropogenic zone of Dnipro, a major industrial and economic centre of Ukraine, using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Analysis of the obtained values of the geoaccumulation index and enrichment factor showed that the sources of origin differ between the studied plots, with some plots showing natural origin and others showing anthropogenic origin. Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. can be recommended for phytoextraction of soils contaminated with Zn, Cu, and Cr, as well as for phytostabilization of soils contaminated with Pb.
