- Abstract
The goal of this study has been to demonstrate the influence of soil contamination by fluorine on the concentration of this element in aerial biomass and roots of eight crops. Additionally, soil was enriched with substances inactivating the influence of fluorine, such as lime, charcoal, and loam. The content of fluorine in the examined plants depended on a plant species and organ, the dose of the xenobiotic element, and the type of fluorine-inactivating substance. As the degree of soil contamination by fluorine increased, so did the concentration of this element in the analyzed plants. The highest average content of fluorine was found in the aerial mass of yellow lupine (Lupinus luteus L.) - 15.4 mg F/kg dry matter (dm), and black radish (Raphanus sativus L.) - 15.0 mg F/kg dm; as for the roots, the following crops had the highest fluorine content: winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) - 51.0 mg F/kg dm and maize (Zea mays L.) - 43.6 mg F/kg dm. All the neutralizing substances considerably reduced the accumulation of fluorine in the analyzed crops, with the strongest effect produced by loam and the weakest one by lime.
