Uptake and Distribution of Mercury within Higher Plants
TL;DR: The uptake and distribution of inorganic mercury (HgCl2) within higher plants (Pisum sativum and Mentha spicata) was examined using solution culture and radiotracer techniques as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of Particles Containing Metals from Vegetation into the Atmosphere
TL;DR: It is shown that in the laboratory pea plants and pine tree seedlings release zinc and lead into the atmosphere, and the significance of the process is discussed in terms of the overall trace metal composition of atmospheric particulates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal release from plants into the atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that higher plants may naturally contribute to the heavy metal composition of the atmosphere by releasing from their foliage a small fraction of the total amount of several elements originally absorbed by their roots.
