ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF PHYTOTOXICITY OF SOILS POLLUTED WITH HEAVY METALS AND MECHANISMS OF THEIR INTERACTION WITH HUMIC SUBSTANCES
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
A comprehensive study of the effects of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) on the growth and development of agricultural crops (dill, lettuce, radish, spring wheat, sugar beet, potatoes) under conditions of model contamination of leached chernozem has been conducted. The processes of complexation of Pb2⁺ and Cd2⁺ ions with humic (HA) and fulvic acids (FC) have been studied using potentiometric titration, IR spectroscopy, and computer modeling. It was found that fulvic acids form stronger complexes with TM (lg K ust 8.2–8.9) than humic acids (lg K ust 4.3–4.5). Species differences in plant resistance were revealed: radish and spring wheat showed high tolerance to cadmium without reducing biomass, while lettuce and dill showed significant inhibition of growth, especially with the combined action of metals. The coefficients of biological accumulation (KBP) of TM were determined, which showed that potatoes actively accumulate metals (KBP > 1), which poses a risk to food safety. The results of the work are important for forecasting environmental risks and developing methods for the rehabilitation of polluted lands.

Keywords:
heavy metals, phytotoxicity, humic acids, complexation, translocation, coefficient of biological accumulation, leached chernozem, lead, cadmium.
