Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a significant environmental pollutant, is highly toxic to humans, animals, and plants. Its harmful effects are notable even at low concentrations, and it persists in biological systems for extended periods. Given its classification as a type I carcinogen, monitoring changes in the Cd concentration in the air is highly important. This study explored the variation in Cd concentrations in specific plant species and plant organs at different vehicular traffic densities to identify the most effective species and organs for the biomonitoring of Cd concentrations in the air. The Cd concentration changes in different organs of five plant species were analyzed at various vehicular traffic densities. The findings suggest that among the species examined, Nerium oleander is most suitable for use as a biomonitor for Cd, with unwashed organs being recommended for biomonitoring purposes.
镉（Cd）是一种重要的环境污染物，对人类、动物和植物有剧毒。即使浓度很低，它的有害影响也很明显，而且会在生物系统中长期存在。鉴于镉被列为 I 类致癌物质，因此监测空气中镉浓度的变化非常重要。本研究探讨了不同车辆交通密度下特定植物物种和植物器官中镉浓度的变化，以确定对空气中镉浓度进行生物监测最有效的物种和器官。研究分析了不同车辆交通密度下五种植物不同器官中镉浓度的变化。研究结果表明，在所研究的物种中，夹竹桃最适合用作镉的生物监测器，建议将未清洗的器官用于生物监测目的。
期刊介绍：
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
