Species-Selective Analysis for Metals and Metalloids in Plants

Abstract

Interactions of plants with metals and metalloids have attracted considerable attention over recent years (Merian 1991; Prasad 1997). This interest has had a number of different reasons reflecting the variety of areas in which plants are important, and the different roles played by the different elements. Indeed, whereas many elements (e.g. B, Se) are well established essential nutrients for the plant growth, others (e.g. Cd, Pb) are well-recognized stress factors. Edible fruit and vegetables are important (and some times major) sources of trace elements in the human diet resulting in legislation set limits regarding toxic metal concentrations. Tea, coffee and wine are important sources of trace elements in the human diet in some countries. Selenium enriched plants are increasingly used in medicine and as food supplements. There is growing interest in the use of specially engineered plants for the remediation of polluted waters and soils (phytoremediation). For some elements, especially As, plants (e.g. algae, seaweeds, and phytoplankton) are an important link in food chains.
