Investigating the potential of heavy metal accumulation from hemp. The use of industrial hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) for phytoremediation of heavily and moderated polluted soils

Evangelia E. Golia et al.

Summary: In recent decades, the pollution of soil with heavy metals has become a major threat to both rural and urban areas. Finding effective methods for soil decontamination and remediation is of great importance to the scientific community, and phytoremediation offers a more affordable, less invasive, and environmentally friendly approach compared to traditional methods. Industrial hemp, specifically Cannabis sativa L., has shown promise in its ability to accumulate metals and metalloids and has proven to be effective in cleaning up polluted soils. This paper presents and analyzes various studies on the accumulation of heavy metals by Cannabis sativa L. and explores its potential uses in a circular economy model framework.

Reimagining safe lithium applications in the living environment and its impacts on human, animal, and plant system

Noman Shakoor et al.

Summary: The ubiquitous distribution of lithium (Li) in the environment is a growing concern due to its rapid proliferation in the modern electronic industry. The entry of Li into the terrestrial food chain raises questions about its impact on living organisms, including humans and animals. This review examines the global resources of Li, its interaction with plants, and its potential effects on biota. The assessment reveals the causal relationship between Li levels and the health of biota, with low intake leading to mental disorders and high intake inducing dysfunctions in various systems.

Sustainable Recovery, Recycle of Critical Metals and Rare Earth Elements from Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (Circuits, Solar, Wind) and Their Reusability in Additive Manufacturing Applications: A Review

Vasileios Stratiotou Efstratiadis et al.

Summary: The demand and prices of Rare Earth Elements (REE) have rapidly increased due to the demand for high-efficiency, low-energy consumption materials. The monopoly of some countries on REE has hindered the shift towards sustainability and renewable energy sources. The isolation, recovery, and recycle of REE from waste electronic equipment (WEEE) can lead to significant economic benefits. Adding critical raw materials (RM) from WEEE to filaments used for composite material synthesis can enhance the performance and commercialization of final products.

Potential of Industrial Hemp for Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals

Dante F. Placido et al.

Summary: The accumulation of anthropogenic heavy metals in soil is a major form of pollution that poses threats to human and environmental health. Phytoremediation, using plants to capture metals from the environment, is an alternative strategy to traditional costly and potentially damaging remediation methods. Hemp, with its deep roots and tolerance to metal accumulation, is a promising candidate for phytoremediation. Furthermore, the annotated genome sequence of hemp provides a powerful tool for bioengineering to enhance its phytoremediation abilities.

Morpho-physiological and molecular responses of Lepidium sativum L. seeds induced by bismuth exposure

Laura Passatore et al.

Summary: This study investigated the toxicity effects of bismuth (Bi) on garden cress plants. The results showed that low concentrations of Bi had no significant effects, but higher concentrations caused toxicity in terms of germination index and root length reduction. Bi exposure also induced genotoxicity and metal accumulation in the plants.

Screening of Plants and Indigenous Bacteria to Improve Arsenic Phytoextraction

Elisabetta Franchi et al.

Summary: Arsenic is a common and toxic inorganic pollutant, and phytoremediation using plants such as Cannabis sativa, Brassica juncea, and Zea mays has shown promise in removing arsenic from contaminated soil. This study aimed to identify the optimal experimental conditions for a phytoremediation plan using these plants in a contaminated area in Sicily, Italy. Chelating agents and arsenic-tolerant bacteria were used to enhance arsenic mobility and plant growth, resulting in significant improvement in biomass production and phytoextraction. The study confirmed that all three plants were able to significantly increase arsenic absorption after the treatment.

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for phytoremediation: Energy and environmental life cycle assessment of using contaminated biomass as an energy resource

Giuseppe Todde et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the environmental impacts of growing industrial hemp on phytoremediation of heavy metal-polluted soil and using contaminated biomass as an energy resource. The results show that scenarios involving anaerobic digestion and/or incineration of contaminated biomass are the most energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable systems. These findings highlight the great potential of using contaminated areas for bioenergy production while reducing resource exploitation and pollutant emissions into the environment.

Comparative understanding of metal hyperaccumulation in plants: a mini-review

Jia-Shi Peng et al.

Summary: Hyperaccumulator plants, known for their traits of metal accumulation and tolerance, are ideal models for studying plant metal homeostasis and environmental adaptation. The elevated expression of key genes involved in metal transport or chelation is a common mechanism contributing to hyperaccumulation and hypertolerance, and may represent a strategy evolved by hyperaccumulator plants. Recent findings suggest that functional enhancement of key genes is crucial for hyperaccumulator plants, both within and outside the Brassicaceae family.
