Trace elements are ubiquitous in the earth's crust. Their natural levels in soil vary widely, depending largely on the nature of parent materials from which soils form and also on soilforming processes (Adriano, 1986; , 1981; Lund et al., 1981; Heil and Mahmoud, 1978).
The boundaries of trace analysis are described by the definition of ''trace element'' in the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, Second Edition [2]: ''Any element having an average concentration of less than about 100 parts per million atoms or less than 100 µg/g''.
The concentration of selected trace metals in South African soils. Herselman, Jacoba Elizabeth (200712) Thesis (PhD (Soil Science))University of Stellenbosch, 2007. ... Although cases of trace element deficiency and toxicity have been documented in many parts of South Africa, no comprehensive description of trace element concentration has ...
the internal concentration reflects external levels. Moreover, the bioavailability of trace elements for plants is dependent on many environmental factors: concentrations in the environment, a biotic factors, exposure time, growth form of the plant, type of absorption mechanisms, affinity of trace elements for
low concentration are also toxic for human Medicinal plants posses some important elements in small doses which have both therapeutic and prophylactic properties. The elements are referred to as trace elements are necessary for physiological functions of cell, gene and play a vital role in secretion of enzymes.

Certain trace elements are essential in plant nutrition, but plants growing in a polluted

Normally soil inherits trace elements from its geological parent materials [2], whereas ... range and well below the critical concentration in plants based on KabataPendias [9]. In an ultrabasic soil, Alloway [10] particularly mentioned that poor plant ... edible plant parts and tissues. However in this study, in
Evaluation of Major and Trace Elements in Medicinal Plants ... The concentration of the elements varied in a wide range, although, generally in accordance with values found in literature. High concentrations of Ba, Cr, ... The plant names, used parts and medicinal applications are .
The parts of the plants that show the deficiency symptoms also depend on the mobility of the element in the plant. For elements that are actively mobilised within the plants and exported to young developing tissues, the deficiency symptoms tend to appear first in the ? tissues
Table 1 focuses on recent biosolids quality (1996 and 1997), and compares trace element concentration ranges to the regulatory concentration limits. For each of the regulated trace elements, the 95th percentile concentration is lower than the pollutant limit (the more stringent of the two limits), and in most cases it is substantially lower.
Among additional elements found in plants are sodium (Na), vanadium (Va), cobalt (Co), and silicon (Si). These are termed functional which means they function in the plant in a nonspecificmanner. For now they are not considered essential micronutrients forthe economic crops commonly grown.
The mean concentration of trace elements, soil pH and total organic carbon (TOC) were higher at a soil depth of 1–10 cm. The obtained mean concentration of Cr, Co, As, Cd, Ni, Cu, Hg and Pb were above the soil background values of Wuhan and Hubei Province.
The trace elements in wheat grains with all composts and SS at all the tested rates remained within safe limits. The release of amendment bound trace elements in soil solution was highly dependent upon dissolved organic carbon and concentration of these trace elements especially for Cu and Zn.
A proper understanding of the trace element enrichment mechanism is a necessary prerequisite for the prediction of the environmental impact of coalfired plants, as well as for improving the efficiency of pollution control devices.

REE uptake by plants was higher in the belowground parts than in the aboveground plant tissues (root = mg kg1, leaf + wood = mg kg1 ); however, their total concentration was much lower than in the sediment ( mg kg1 ).
