Over 50% of arsenic and mercury was translocated to aerial tissues of phaseolus vulgaris, indicating effective phytoremediation potential.
The translocation factor values for arsenic ranged from 1.1 to 1.6, while for mercury it ranged from 1.6 to 3.4, confirming the plant's uptake ability.
Comparative analysis showed arsenic (31.3 μg kg-1) and mercury (2.75 μg kg-1) levels in bean grains were below international safety limits.
Findings highlight the need for continuous food safety monitoring despite the demonstrated phytoremediation capability of phaseolus vulgaris.
