| Popis: | Mining is one of the industries that has had the greatest impact on natural resources. Ore extraction is a mining process that has a significant impact on the environment. Heavy metals at concentrations higher than the normal levels inhibit plant growth. Studies by different authors show that various plants can be used for phytoremediation. The aim of this study was to investigate the relations between heavy metal content in soils and plants and metabolite content in Achillea millefolium L. in a heavy metal contaminated environment due to ore mining. The results of our investigation lead to the conclusion that heavy metal contamination does not have a negative influence on the normal growth and development of Achillea millefolium L., and the species is suitable for phytoremediation use because it is able to produce sustainable communities. |
