Abstract
Spectrometric analysis of heavy metal in Parthenium hysterophorus medicinal plant collected from district Karak and Peshawar
Highlights
The contamination by heavy metals in plants is one of the major problems faced by the entire planet and it requires attention because when heavy metals exceeds from normal ranges, it becomes enormously susceptible to the plant
Pb was 4.32 to 6.45 mg/kg in Karak and 1.47 to 7.82 milligram per kilogram (mg/Kg) in Peshawar that is above the permissible limit in the roadside plants
Findings of this study would be useful for understanding, how the heavy metal content in roadside plants is influenced by traffic activities and helpful in making policies for avoiding harmful heavy metal contaminants in medicinal plants in areas of the district Karak and Peshawar
Summary
It affects the marketing of pasture seeds and grains [2]. Some serious human health problems were reported in Pakistan as well as other Asia countries from P. hysterophorus more than two decades ago. The exchange of machinery, vehicle movement and livestock are main sources of spreading P. hysterophorus It can be controlled by washing the vehicles allow into non-infected areas. The underground parts of the plant were washed with tap water and aerial parts were cleaned to get dust-free samples. These were brought to the laboratory and again washed with distilled water. Add concentrated nitric acid and dilute up to 25.0 g with distil water to increase the volume up to 7.0 milliliter, the process was repeated three times for each of the four samples and stored for further process. For each of the sample, the analysis was carried out three times, taking an average of these results, the data were plotted in milligram per kilogram (mg/Kg) [6, 7]
