Abstract
The samples of roots and soil from the rooting zone of poison ivy (Hedera helix) were collected from the rural settlement of Slatina, near Bor town, with the aim to determine the content of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); they were analyzed by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method. Generally, the concentrations of 16 PAHs in the sample of roots (from n.d. to 491.06 μg/kg) were much higher than in the soil (from n.d. to 98.88 μg/kg). The accumulation rates in the roots of the investigated plant species were determined using bio-concentration factor (BCF). The highest accumulation rates for 16 PAHs were found in the cases of acenaphthene, fluorene, fluoranthene and pyrene. For these compounds the investigated plant may be useful in the root phytoacumulation, practically in the soil phytostabilization. Also, Hedera helix can be successfully used in phytostabilization of the compounds such as anthracene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, and the sum of benzo(k)fluoranthene and benzo(b)fluoranthene, because it accumulated these compounds very efficiently (the extraction from the soil was maximal). However more research in the future is needed for the formulation of more safe conclusions about the accumulation capacities of Hedera helix.
