dc.description.abstractMunicipal solid waste composts (MSWC) are extensively utilized as organic soil conditioners and fertilizers in agricultural fields across many countries. However, the use of MSWC can lead to heavy metal pollution in soil and plants, which may adversely affect plant growth. This study examined the impact of MSWC on the heavy metal content in plants and soil across various pH levels. The experiment was conducted in a pot setting with three replications. The research findings indicated that MSWC application increased the levels of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in soils but had no significant effect on lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) levels. Additionally, increases were observed in the Cu, Zn, and Fe content in plants, while Pb and Ni content remained unchanged. Cu, Zn, and Fe are essential for plant growth, and their enhancement in both soil and plants is a direct result of their relatively high presence in the MSWC used. The soil-plant transfer coefficients show that the transfer of heavy metals from soil to plants is highest under acidic conditions, indicating that the heavy metal content in MSWC can vary depending on soil pH and application rate. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully analyze and evaluate the heavy metal contents of soil and compost samples before employing MSWC in agricultural fields.
