As soon as ozone is picked up by the plants, it reacts and forms various ROS, such as singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radicals, or hydrogen peroxide (Heath 2008; Sandermann 2008;Fuhrer 2009; Feder and Shrier 1990). Hormonal levels, lipid peroxidation, and redox potential get influenced under the affluence of ROS in intercellular and apoplastic space in plant cells (Kangasjärvi et al. 2005) and this can also cause cell death at certain high levels (Overmyer et al. 2003; Heath 2008; Sandermann 2008; Fuhrer 2009). Some other studies, for instance those by Morgan et al. (2003), Fiscus et al. (2005), Ainsworth (2008), Feng et al. (2008, 2010), Booker et al. (2009), and Feng and Kobayashi (2009) concluded that the lowering of reproductive output and biomass production are among the consequences of the reduction of stomatal conductance and photosynthesis in leaves, due to chronic exposure to ozone. Nevertheless, the ratio of reduction in reproductive output due to changes in reproductive processes like pollen and ovary development, seed abortion, and flower initiation is still not known. At 70 ppb daily exposure of ozone Davison and Barnes (1998) noticed the disparate impacts on resources allotment of reproductive and vegetative organs of various species; allotment of reproductive organs of Chenopodium album was less while it was more in Papaver dubium and Trifolium arvense.

Chenopodium album Linn is herbaceous vegetable plant belonging to family Chenopodiaceae.14 It is extensively found in several high plains in India and throughout Pakistan.15 It is one of the strong smelling herbs that occur in India. It is generally 0.3–3 m high erected and has reddish, inodorous stem. The size and shape of the leaves are variable. It may sometimes be large up to 15 cm long, oblong, deltoid, obtuse, entire, toothed, or irregularly lobulate. The stems are slender, angled, striped green, red, or purple. The flowers are forming complex. The sepals are 1.5–2 mm long, oblong lanceolated. Two stigmas are present. The seeds are about 1.5 mm in diameter, compressed with an acute margin, having smooth, shining, completely annular embryo.16

Twenty locations (Figure 1), which were used for dumping the municipal solid waste, were considered for the collection of soil samples. Both surface and deep (at depth 50 cm) were collected in triplicate from each location. The depth of each coverage layer in dumpsite is about 100 cm. hence, deep soil samples were taken from the middle of the layer. Two surface soil samples were collected in triplicate from Alsouda Park, which were considered as control samples. Leaves of six plant species (Chenopodium album sp., Tamxrix aphylia sp., Tamarix nilotica sp., Aristida papposa sp., Calotropis procera sp. and Ceterach officinarum sp.) as the available native plants were collected in triplicate from the dumpsite.
Phytodermatitis in East and southeast of Turkey: A prospective study
Published in Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 2019
PPD is a photosensitive reaction that occurs after oral ingestion of plants or after contact to skin and exposure to sunlight. PPD is caused by plants belonging to a small number of families such as apiaceae, rutaceae, and moraceae. Children and gardeners are particularly at risk for PPD9–11. In two separate studies conducted in eastern Turkey, it was reported that the PPD was developed due to Chenopodium album belonging to the Chenopodiaceae family and Plantago lanceolata belonging to the Plantaginaceae family2,12. In our study, PPD, was developed due to Heracleum persicum (Figure 1), Ferula orientalis and Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss which are belonging to Apiaceae family.
