Heavy metals phytofiltration potential of from Nullah Lai wastewater and its environmental risk.

This study aims to examine the heavy metal phytofiltration potential of from Nullah Lai wastewater and its environmental risk. Wastewater was initially analyzed for heavy metals and physicochemical parameters and compared with irrigation water standards. The phytofiltration potential of was determined by periodically monitoring heavy metal concentrations at time points T1 (day 05), T2 (day10), T3 (day 15), and T4 (day 20).

Phytoextraction of Ni, Pb and, Cd by duckweeds.

Heavy metals phytoextraction potential of swollen duckweed ( Linn.) and lesser duckweed ( Welw.) was determined under greenhouse conditions by exposing to untreated industrial/municipal effluent for a period of 21days.

Baseline water quality of municipal ponds and metal removal ability of Typha latifolia L. from sewage and industrial wastewaters.

Municipal effluent of three rural settings of Islamabad was assessed for physicochemical and microbiological parameters by collecting wastewater from inlet and center of ponds. Results showed that water quality was comparatively better at the center as Typha latifolia plants were growing toward the center of ponds. In another study, the wastewater treatment ability of T.

Phytoremediation potential of Lemna minor L. for heavy metals.

Phytoremediation potential of L. minor for cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni) from two different types of effluent in raw form was evaluated in a glass house experiment using hydroponic studies for a period of 31 days. Heavy metals concentration in water and plant sample was analyzed at 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31 day.
