Abstract
Present study assesses the uptake and allotment of heavy metals in irrigated water, soil and tomato (Lycopersicones culentum) at the export processing zone of Bangladesh. The elemental distributions of the heavy metals in the plant organs and fruits were determined after the harvesting stage. The uptake and distribution of the three heavy metals Cd, Cr and Pb were found in the several organs of tomato in reducing pattern of green tomato>plant shoot> leaf> ripen tomato> plant root; leaf> ripen tomato> plant shoot> plant root> green tomato and plant shoot> leaf> ripen tomato> plant root> green tomato while Ni has more toxic metal in Plant root but less in ripe tomato. This outline of distribution in the plant organ showed the typical pattern of a prohibited plant with a higher concentration of metals accumulated in the plant parts than in the fruits. The reducing pattern of the bio-concentration factor (BCF) showed that the ability of tomato fruits to accumulate heavy metals was reduced as the level of contamination in plant parts.
期刊介绍：
Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
