Abstract

The main cause of agricultural soil pollution that endangers human health is tannery waste. Experiments were carried out to assess the effects of green material (GM), rice straw (RS), and rice straw biochar (RSB) on Triticum aestivum L. grown in tannery effluent-contaminated soil in the district Kasur, Pakistan. The application of GM, RS, and RSB significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced the concentration of heavy metals (HMs) such as Cd, Pb, and Cr in amended soil. The bioaccumulation of Cd decreased by up to 59–34%, Pb by up to 58–42%, and Cr by up to 30–34% in Triticum aestivum L. shoot and roots with RSB amendment. Increased concentration of chlorophyll a by up to 74%, 30%, and 110%, chlorophyll b by up to 138%, 70%, and 225%, and carotenoids by up to 87%, 37%, and 140% was measured with GM, RS, and RSB amendment. However, reduced concentrations of SOD by up to 41%, 36%, and 72%, POD by up to 7%, 20%, and 55%, and CAT by up to 29%, 22%, and 38% were recorded with GM, RS, and RSB amendment. Data revealed that RSB was beneficial to Triticum aestivum L. growth, soil HMs remediation, and activating antioxidant enzymes. RSB can be used as a suitable amendment in the remediation of tannery polluted soil.

稻草、生物炭和绿色材料用于土壤修复的评估：巴基斯坦卡苏尔的一项案例研究

危害人类健康的农业土壤污染的主要原因是制革废料。实验评估了绿色材料（GM）、稻草（RS）和稻草生物炭（RSB）对生长在巴基斯坦卡苏尔地区制革废水污染土壤中的小麦（Triticum aestivum L.）的影响。施用 GM、RS 和 RSB 后，改良土壤中的镉、铅和铬等重金属（HMs）浓度明显降低（P ≤ 0.05）。添加 RSB 后，小麦嫩枝和根中镉的生物累积量减少了 59-34%，铅减少了 58-42%，铬减少了 30-34%。叶绿素 a 增加了 74%、30% 和 110%，叶绿素 b 增加了 138%、70% 和 225%，类胡萝卜素增加了 87%、37% 和 140%。然而，在添加转基因、RS 和 RSB 后，SOD 浓度分别降低了 41%、36% 和 72%，POD 浓度分别降低了 7%、20% 和 55%，CAT 浓度分别降低了 29%、22% 和 38%。数据显示，RSB 有利于小麦生长、土壤 HMs 修复和激活抗氧化酶。RSB 可作为修复制革厂污染土壤的合适添加剂。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology (IJEST) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of environmental science and technology, innovation, engineering and management. A broad outline of the journal''s scope includes: peer reviewed original research articles, case and technical reports, reviews and analyses papers, short communications and notes to the editor, in interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental science and technology, both natural and man made. The main aspects of research areas include, but are not exclusive to; environmental chemistry and biology, environments pollution control and abatement technology, transport and fate of pollutants in the environment, concentrations and dispersion of wastes in air, water, and soil, point and non-point sources pollution, heavy metals and organic compounds in the environment, atmospheric pollutants and trace gases, solid and hazardous waste management; soil biodegradation and bioremediation of contaminated sites; environmental impact assessment, industrial ecology, ecological and human risk assessment; improved energy management and auditing efficiency and environmental standards and criteria.
