“…was demonstrated in the studies by Say et al, 1977, Say andWhitton 1981;Takamura et al, 1989;Stevens et al, 2001;Skowro ńsky et al, 2002;Gaysina et al, 2009 [61-66]. Although there is lack of data on the species used in our study, it is generally known that algae can hyper-accumulate different metals, including the non-nutrient Pb and Cd, but also the nutritional Cu, Zn, and Fe, with the highest accumulation ratio of Fe, followed by Pb, Cu, Cd, and Zn [67][68][69][70][71][72]. An important statement was made after the experiments conducted by Oberholster et al, 2014, who demonstrated that certain algal species have preferences in elemental bioaccumulation since the accumulated amount of selected metals in the biomass was not strongly dependent on their concentration in the wastewater.…”
