Zacchini M. Bismuth interaction with plants: Uptake and transport, toxic effects, tolerance mechanisms - A review. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 360:142414. [PMID: 38789054 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) is a minor metal whose abundance on Earth is estimated at 0.025 ppm. Known since ancient times for its medical properties, its use in many industrial applications has increased significantly in recent years due to its physical and chemical properties. Considered less toxic than other metals, Bi has been defined as a "green metal" and has been suggested as a replacement for lead in many industrial processes. Although the occurrence of Bi in the environment is predicted to increase, there is still a lack of information on its interaction with biota. Even though it is absorbed by many organisms, Bi has not been directly implicated in the regulation of fundamental metabolic processes. This review summarises the fragmentary knowledge on the interaction between Bi and plants. Toxic effects at the growth, physiological and biochemical levels have been described in Bi-treated plants, with varying degrees and consequences for plant vitality, mostly depending on the chemical formulation of Bi, the concentration of Bi, the growth medium, the time of exposure, and the experimental conditions (laboratory or outdoor conditions). Bismuth has been shown to be readily absorbed and translocated in plants, interfering with plant growth and development, photosynthetic processes, nutrient uptake and accumulation, and metal (especially iron) homeostasis. Like other metals, Bi can induce an oxidative stress state in plant cells, and genotoxic effects have been reported in Bi-treated plants. Tolerance responses to the excess presence of Bi have been poorly described and are mostly referred to as the activation of antioxidant defences involving enzymatic and non-enzymatic molecules. The goal of this review is to offer an overview of the present knowledge on the interaction of Bi and plants, highlighting the gaps to be filled to better understand the role of Bi in affecting key physiological processes in plants. This will help to assess the potential harm of this metal in the environment, where its occurrence is predicted to increase due to the growing demand for medicinal and industrial applications.

Abstract
The possible influence of historical contamination of water/sediments on the metal(loid) bioaccumulation in the digestive gland of mussel Unio crassus Philipsson, 1788, from two differently contaminated sites at the Mrežnica River was studied in three seasons. The first data for this species on total/cytosolic concentrations of 27 (non)essential elements were obtained by HR ICP-MS. Higher bioaccumulation was observed at the historically contaminated site, with several nonessential elements (Bi, Cs, Pb, Sb, Tl, U) found in 5-6 times higher concentrations compared to the reference site. Although both total and cytosolic levels revealed the influence of water/sediment contamination, the latter showed association between bioaccumulation and exposure for larger number of studied elements. At the reference site, several elements (Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Mn, Sr) were also found in 2-10 times higher concentrations compared to contaminated one, but it was attributed to background levels characteristic for karst rivers (for Ca and Cd), and to coaccumulation due to chemical similarity (for Ba, Cr, Mn, Sr). The seasonal variability was also observed, with generally highest metal(loid) concentrations in mussel digestive glands found in autumn which was associated to mussels reproductive period. Our results confirmed that sediment-dwelling mussels, specifically U. crassus, represent a good bioindicators for detection of historical pollution due to their direct contact/exposure to contaminants stored in sediments, with concurrent consideration of physiological/chemical factors. Historical contamination potentially can have serious impact on freshwater environment even long time after its cessation, and, therefore, a careful continuous monitoring is recommended.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) is considered a "green metal" as its toxicity has been reported to be lower than other metals, particularly lead. Even though the low presence in the environment, an increase of Bi concentrations in soil and wastewater is predictable due to its enhanced uses for many industrial and medical applications. Therefore, given the little literature on the matter, particularly in plants, information on the effects of Bi on living organisms is needed. In this study, seeds of garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.), a model plant for ecotoxicological assays (OECD), were exposed to increasing Bi concentrations (0 to 485 mg L-1 Bi(NO3)3·5H2O in deionised water) in petri plates. After 72 h, the percent germination index (GI%) revealed no effects at the lowest Bi concentrations, while a slight toxicity occurred at 242 and 485 mg L-1 Bi nitrate. A significant reduction of the root length was observed in Bi-treated seedlings, especially at the highest Bi concentrations. Consistently, the Alkaline Comet Assay revealed a genotoxic effect induced by Bi exposure in garden cress seedlings. A Bi concentration-dependent metal accumulation in plantlets was also observed, with a Bi concentration higher than 1200 mg kg-1 found in plantlets at the highest Bi concentration assayed. The toxicity effects observed in the study were discussed, as contribution to the expansion of knowledge on Bi ecotoxicity and genotoxicity in plants.

Development of a Paper-Based Analytical Method for the Selective Colorimetric Determination of Bismuth in Water Samples. CHEMOSENSORS 2022.

Abstract
A novel, direct and simple colorimetric method employing μicroanalytical paper-based devices (μ-PADs) for the selective determination of bismuth is described. The suggested method exploits the colorimetric variation of bismuth after its rapid reaction with methyl thymol blue (MTB) in an acidic medium (pH ranging between 0.7 and 3.0), modified with nitric acid, on the surface of a paper device at room temperature. The devices are low cost, composed of chromatographic paper and wax barriers and the analytical protocol is easily applicable with minimal technical expertise and without the need for experimental apparatus. The user must add a test sample and read the color intensity of the colored Bi(III)–MTB complex formed at the sensing area using a simple imaging device such as a flatbed scanner. Various chemical variables, such as HNO3 and MTB concentration, reaction time, ionic strength, detection zone size and photo-capture detector are optimized. A study of interfering ions such as K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl−, SO42− and HCO3− was also conducted. The stability of the paper devices is also studied in different maintenance conditions with particularly satisfactory results, rendering the method suitable for field analysis. The detection limits are as low as 3.0 mg L−1 with very satisfactory precision, ranging from 4.0% (intra-day) to 5.5% (inter-day). Natural water samples are successfully analyzed, and bismuth percentage recoveries were calculated in the range of 82.8 to 115.4%.

Abstract
Atmospheric particulate material (PM) from mining and steel industries comprises several metallic contaminants. PM10 samples collected in a Brazilian region with a recognized influence of the steel and iron pelletizing industries were used to investigate metallic nanoparticle incorporation into human fibroblast cells (MRC-5). MRC-5 cells were exposed to 0 (control, ultrapure water), 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 μg PM10 mL-1, for 24 h. Cytotoxic and genotoxic dose-response effects were observed on lysosome and DNA structure, and concentrations high as 20 and 40 μg PM10 mL-1 induced elevated cell death. Ultrastructure analyses showed aluminosilicate, iron, and the emerging metallic contaminants titanium, bismuth, and cerium nanoparticles were incorporated into lung cells, in which the nanocrystallography analysis indicated the bismuth as Bi2O3. All internalized metallic nanoparticles were free and unbound in the cytoplasm and nucleus thereby indicating bioavailability and potential interaction to biological processes and cellular structures. Pearson's correlation analysis showed Fe, Ni, Al, Cr, Pb and Hg as the main cytotoxic elements which are associated with the stainless steel production. The presence of internalized nanoparticles in human lung cells exposed to environmental atmospheric matter highlights the need for a greater effort by regulatory agencies to understand their potential damage and hence the need for future regulation, especially of emerging metallic contaminants.

Abstract
Although the production and usage of bismuth (Bi) have been increasing, very little is known about the environmental behaviour of this heavy metal. In the present study, the particle-water interactions of Bi are examined under controlled conditions in which the metal is added as a tracer to estuarine sediment suspended in different, environmentally-relevant aqueous solutions. Adsorption isotherms were always linear over the Bi concentration range employed (up to 2000 μg L-1) and sediment-water distribution coefficients derived from isotherm gradients, KD (L kg-1), displayed an inverse dependence on pH in river water (and ranging from KD = 106,000 L kg-1 at pH 5.0 to KD = 17,700 L kg-1 at pH 9.0) that were consistent with the adsorption of hydroxo-complexes to the sediment surface. Higher adsorption in ultra-pure water of the same pH as river water and an order of magnitude increase in adsorption in seawater at pH 8.0 (KD = 1,530,000 L kg-1) and 0.7 M NaNO3 at pH 6.5 (KD = 4,290,000 L kg-1), however, required the presence of additional species or processes that are likely related to organic complexation of the metal. Thus, experiments conducted in mixtures of river water and seawater in the absence of sediment suggested that Bi may also be bound to colloidal organic molecules that undergo flocculation and salting out on estuarine mixing. Compared with other metals studied under similar conditions, Bi displays a high reactivity towards sediment particles and is, therefore, predicted to be retained in estuaries to a significant extent from catchment sources.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) is a natural element present in the environmental media. Bismuth has been used medicinally for centuries, specifically for the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Although bismuth toxicity is rare in humans, an outbreak of bismuth-induced neurotoxicity was reported in France and Australia in the mid-1970s. The primary source of bismuth exposure in the general population is via food. US FDA (2019) estimated recommended daily intake (RDI) for bismuth as 848 mg bismuth/day (12.1 mg Bi/kg-d assuming a body weight of 70 kg) for GI tract disorders. Exposures to bismuth can be quantified by measuring concentrations in blood and urine. Biomonitoring equivalents (BEs) were derived based on US FDA's RDI as a tool for interpretation of population-level biomonitoring data. A regression between steady state plasma concentrations and oral intakes was used to derive plasma BEs. A whole blood: plasma partitioning coefficient of 0.6 was used to convert plasma BE into whole blood BE. A mass balance equation with a urinary excretion fraction of 0.0003 was used to derive urinary BE. The BE values associated with US FDA's RDI for plasma, whole blood and urine were 8.0, 4.8 and 0.18 μg/L, respectively. These BE values together with bismuth biomonitoring data may be used in screening and prioritization of health risk assessment of bismuth in the general population.

Abstract
Baby foods, from the Spanish market and prepared from meat, fish, vegetables, cereals, legumes, and fruits, were analyzed to obtain the concentration of antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), bismuth (Bi), and tellurium (Te) as toxic elements and selenium (Se) as essential element. An analytical procedure was employed based on atomic fluorescence spectroscopy which allowed to obtain accurate data at low levels of concentration. Values of 14 commercial samples, expressed in nanograms per gram fresh weight, ranged for Sb 0.66-6.9, As 4.5-242, Te 1.35-2.94, Bi 2.18-4.79, and Se 5.4-109. Additionally, speciation studies were performed based on data from a non-chromatographic screening method. It was concluded that tellurium and bismuth were mainly present as inorganic forms and selenium as organic form, and antimony and arsenic species depend on the ingredients of each baby food. Risk assessment considerations were made by comparing dietary intake of the aforementioned elements through the consumption of one baby food portion a day and recommended or tolerable guideline values.

Abstract
Bismuth is a heavy metal whose biogeochemical behaviour in the marine environment is poorly defined. In this study, we exposed three different species of macroalga (the chlorophyte, Ulva lactuca, the phaeophyte, Fucus vesiculosus, and the rhodophyte, Chondrus crispus) to different concentrations of Bi (up to 50 μg L(-1)) under controlled, laboratory conditions. After a period of 48-h, the phytotoxicity of Bi was measured in terms of chlorophyll fluorescence quenching, and adsorption and internalisation of Bi determined by ICP after EDTA extraction and acid digestion, respectively. For all algae, both the internalisation and total accumulation of Bi were proportional to the concentration of aqueous metal. Total accumulation followed the order: F. vesiculosus > C. crispus > U. lactuca; with respective accumulation factors of about 4200, 1700 and 600 L kg(-1). Greatest internalisation (about 33% of total accumulated Bi) was exhibited by C. crispus, the only macroalga to display a phytotoxic response in the exposures. A comparison of the present results with those reported in the literature suggests that Bi accumulation by macroalgae is significantly lower than its accumulation by marine plankton (volume concentration factors of 10(5) to 10(7)), and that the phytotoxicity of Bi is low relative to other heavy metals like Ag and Tl.

Abstract
Slurry sampling graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry technique was applied for the determination of Bi in environmental samples. The study focused on the effect of Zr, Ti, Nb and W carbides, as permanent modifiers, on the Bi signal. Because of its highest thermal and chemical stability and ability to substantially increase Bi signal, NbC was chosen as the most effective modifier. The temperature programme applied for Bi determination was optimized based on the pyrolysis and atomization curves obtained for slurries prepared from certified reference materials (CRMs) of the soil and sediments. To overcome interferences caused by sulfur compounds, Ba(NO₃)₂ was used as a chemical modifier. Calibration was performed using the aqueous standard solutions. The analysis of the CRMs confirmed the reliability of the proposed analytical method. The characteristic mass for Bi was determined to be 16 pg with the detection limit of 50 ng/g for the optimized procedure at the 5% (w/v) slurry concentration.

Abstract
Trace amounts of bismuth(III) and uranium(VI) can be simultaneously determined in a single scan by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry in the presence of cupferron as a complexing agent. Optimal conditions were found to be: 0.1 mol L(-1) acetate buffer (pH 5.3), 5 × 10(-5) mol L(-1) cupferron, accumulation potential of -0.25 V, and accumulation time of 30 s. The linear range of Bi(III) and U(VI) was observed over the concentration range from 2 × 10(-9) to 2 × 10(-7) mol L(-1) and from 1 × 10(-8) to 5 × 10(-7) mol L(-1), respectively. The influence of the main components of real water samples such as foreign ions and organic substances (surface active substances, humic substances) was precisely investigated. The method was applied to the simultaneous measurements of bismuth and uranium in natural water samples.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective solid phase extraction procedure for the determination of traces of Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Fe(III) has been developed. An alumina-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) coated on with meso-phenyl bis(indolyl) methane (MPBIM) was used for preconcentration and determination of Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Fe(III) ions by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The analyte ions were adsorbed quantitatively on adsorbent due to their complexation with MPBIM. Adsorbed metals were quantitatively eluted using 6 mL of 4 mol L(-1) nitric acid. The effects of parameters such as pH, amount of alumina, amount of MBITP, flow rate, type and concentration of eluting agent were examined. The effects of interfering ions on the separation-preconcentration of analytes were also investigated. The relative standard deviation of the method was found to be less than 3.0%. The presented procedure was successfully applied for determination of analytes in real samples.

Abstract
The electrically conductive adhesives (ECA) are on the verge of a breakthrough as reliable interconnection materials for electronic components. As the ban of lead (Pb) in the electronics industry becomes a reality, the ECA's could be attractive overall alternatives to high melting point (HMP) Pb-based solder pastes. Environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to estimate trade-offs between the energy use and the potential toxicity of two future types of ECA's and one HMP Pb-based. The probability is around 90% that the overall CO2 emissions from an ECA based on a tin-bismuth alloy are lower than for a silver-epoxy based ECA, whereas the probability is about 80% that the cumulative energy demand would be lower. It is more uncertain whether the tin-bismuth ECA would contribute to less CO2, or consume less energy, than a HMP Pb-based solder paste. Moreover, for the impact categories contributing to the life-cycle impact assessment method based on end point modeling (LIME) damage category of human health, the tin-bismuth ECA shows a 25 times lower score, and a silver-epoxy based ECA shows an 11 times lower score than the HMP Pb-based solder paste. In order to save resources and decrease CO2 emissions it is recommended to increase the collection and recycling of printed board assemblies using silver-epoxy based ECA.
