Translocation and accumulation of heavy metals from the rhizoshphere soil to the medicinal plant (<i>Paeonia Lactiflora</i> Pall.) grown in Bozhou, Anhui Province, China

The concentration of heavy metals (HMs) in soil-plant systems was an important indicator soil metal pollution, and the migration transportation abilities HMs from to plants were great significance for evaluating food safety reducing health risks. This study conducted investigate contamination translocation soil-Paeonia lactiflora system Bozhou, Anhui Province, China. pollution assessed by calculating Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), Potential ecological risk (RI), Pollution load (PLI). transfer ability evaluated using bioconcentration factor (BCF) (TF). results showed that Fe, Mn , Cr As priority pollutants soil. Paeonia presented high potential translocate Zn, Cu, Fe roots, had strong except Cd roots stems leaves
