Introduction: Soil pollution with petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals is one of the problems related to industrial societies. There are several methods to remove pollutants from the soil. Phytoremediation is a method in sync with the environment that uses plants to remove pollutants from the soil. The purpose of this research was to investigate the cleaning of soil from oil pollution and also heavy metals using two ornamental plants, ornamental cabbage and aromatic geranium.
Materials and Methods: 40 samples including 20 soil samples and 20 plants were selected. Soils were selected in three categories: clean (control), semi-contaminated and completely contaminated. Soils were selected in three categories: clean (control), semi-contaminated and completely contaminated. HPLC device was used to measure heavy metals. A spectrophotometer was used to measure the total petroleum hydrocarbons.

Results and Discussion: The highest amount of hydrocarbon accumulation in geranium in semi-contaminated soil is related to tetradecane (16.021 mg/Kg) in dry tissue and there was no effect of tridecane and pentadecane accumulation in fresh and dry geranium tissue. In ornamental cabbage, the highest amount of accumulation related to decan (19.69 mg/Kg) was seen in fresh tissue and the lowest amount of accumulation related to nonan (0.659 mg/Kg) was seen in dry tissue. |

|
Conclusion: The results of this research showed that both ornamental plants used in the research were suitable for herbal treatment. In removing oil pollution, the aromatic geranium plant showed a better performance. had. Ornamental cabbage had a higher efficiency in removing the heavy metal cadmium. |
