- Abstract
The concentrations of 60 elements in samples from Taraxacum officinale collected from 12 background and 10 polluted locations in Bulgaria were determined using ICP-MS. The results indicate that under natural unpolluted conditions the concentrations of the determined elements in the plants (the ionome) are relatively stable with time and region. The highest stability was established for essential elements. Under anthropogenic influence the ionome of the plant and of the plant parts changes drastically not only in respect to major polluting elements. Statistical interpretation of the results (cluster, factor and correlation analyses) revealed inter-element relations which are identified for the first time.
