**Concluding remarks**

*Miscanthus × giganteus* may be used in phytoextraction of cadmium and lead from polluted soils; however, when assessing its potential for phytoextraction of these metals from soil it was found not to be considerable. This plant need to be further tested in terms of cadmium and lead phytoextraction capacity from contaminated soil in natural *environment*.

The study was financed from funds for science in the years 2008 - 2011 as a research project no. N N305 085535
