Abstract:

The methods of mass-spectrometry and liquid chromatography were used to study the content of cadmium and zinc in volatile emissions of Violaceae grown on soils with different concentration of these metals. The plants were placed in a flow reactor blown with air. Organic components present in plant emissions were determined by the HPLC method. The oxidation dynamics of emitted organometallic compounds in air was studied on light and in the dark. It was shown that at illumination the cadmium concentration in gaseous emissions of a violet decreases as the distance from the plant increases, while the amount of cadmium transformed into the aerosol phase increases.
