This research aimed to analyze the ability of the plant Bromelia karatas to tolerate and bioaccumulate lead (Pb) in its tissues, as well as its potential use as a bioindicator of contamination. The research was conducted under controlled conditions, exposing the plants to different concentrations of Pb for 63 d and measuring morphometric variables such as leaf count, height, and chlorophyll content. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and Tukey HSD, showed that the plant can tolerate Pb levels without significant differences in growth and chlorophyll compared to unexposed plants. At the end of the experiment, the presence of Pb in the plant tissues (leaves and roots) was analyzed and detected using ICP-OES equipment. This research revealed the potential of Bromelia karatas as a bioindicator of Pb contamination in soil, as it exhibited visible symptoms of leaf damage at high doses of the pollutant. The low cost, ease of reproduction, and portability of bromeliads compared to other bioindicators make it a preferable option for environmental biomonitoring, highlighting its effectiveness and affordability.
