摘要

Agricultural soils frequently suffer from human-induced activities, accumulating hazardous contaminants such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). Given the environmental and human health threats posed by these heavy metals, the need for effective purification methods has intensified. Utilizing plants for pollutant uptake, a process known as phytoextraction, represents a sustainable approach. Ricinus communis, or the castor bean plant, has shown potential in this area. This study examines the combined use of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to enhance the phytoextraction capabilities of R. communis. EDTA, a powerful chelating agent, mobilizes Pb and Cd from the soil, making them more bioavailable for plant uptake. While the individual capabilities of EDTA and R. communis in soil remediation have been explored, their combined efficiency and implications for agricultural soil decontamination merit further investigation. This article provides a detailed overview of EDTA-enhanced phytoextraction, highlighting the capacity of R. communis to remove Pb and Cd from contaminated agricultural environments.
