Abstract
Although traditional technologies for cleaning contaminated soils have proven to be efficient, they are usually expensive, labor intensive, and in the case of soil, they produce severe disturbance. Most recently, the use of plants in metal extraction (phytoremediation) has appeared as a promising alternative in the removal of heavy metal excess from soil. Phytoremediation uses of plant for pollutant stabilization, extraction, degradation, or volatilization. Studies have demonstrated the use of white cabbage (B.oleracea var.capitata), species Kamienna głowa for the treatment of soil with heavy metals. Specified the dependences between contents of heavy metals in soil and leaves and stems of cabbage, which was grown on it. The research were conducted for selected sites in different regions of Poland. The study determined contents of heavy metals such as Cd and Zn. Metal levels have been determined, using AAS (atomic absorption spectrometry) techniques such as flame AAS (Zn, Cd), electrothermal AAS (Cd. Obtained results are promising and confirm phytoremediation as an alternative to traditional remediation technologies.
