In the framework of the study, the contamination of soils with heavy metals was assessed, their concentrations were determined, and potential hyperaccumulator plants capable of absorbing toxic substances from the soil were studied. Excessive HM content was shown at several sampling points. An experiment was conducted with the cultivation of ornamental plants Tagetes erecta L. on soils sampled near the Shuvalovsky quarry in St. Petersburg. The ability of Tagetes erecta L. to accumulate heavy metals was shown, which makes them promising candidates for use in the phytoremediation method of contaminated soils.
Keywords:soil contamination, heavy metals, hyperaccumulator plants, Tagetes erecta L.
