The research of the fundamentals of the behavior of behavior in the soil−plant system during their co-contamination is of high interest because of the absence of technologies for the creation of effective, environmentally friendly and cost-effective remediation methods, as well as integrated systems for predicting the quality of soils co-contaminated with HMs and PAHs. The unique model vegetation experiment was studied with Haplic Chernozem contaminated by one of the priority organic toxicants, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), applied alone and co-contaminated with Cu with the subsequent vegetation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and spring barley plants (Hordeum sativum Distichum). Biochar obtained from sunflower husks was used as a sorbent for the remediation of the contaminated soil. It was established that by increasing the BaP amount applied to the soil, the rate of BaP degradation improved. The effect was enhanced in the presence of biochar and decreased in the case of joint co-contamination with Cu, which is especially expressed for the soil of tomato plants. The half-degradation time of the BaP molecule varied from 8 up to 0.2 years for tomatoes and barley.
