“…The pH values of the examined waters and sediments of the Słup dam reservoir are characteristic for fresh flowing and standing waters of the temperate zones. In other reservoirs in the south-western part of Poland, both in protected and industrialized areas, the pH values of water and sediment were similar to those recorded for the Słup reservoir (Samecka-Cymerman and Kempers, 1999Kempers, , 2001Kempers, , 2004Samecka-Cymerman et al, 2005;Łojko et al, 2015). Similar values were also found in areas of low anthropopressure in the northeastern Poland, i.e., on the area of Mazurian Lakes (Rafałowska et al, 2014) as well as in retention reservoirs in south-eastern Poland (Jasiewicz and Baran, 2006;Wójcikowska-Kapusta et al, 2018).…”

“…Lower values were recorded for the standing water reservoirs of central Poland, e.g. anthropogenic lakes studied by Samecka-Cymerman and Kempers (2001Kempers ( , 2004, and especially for flowing waters of southern Poland (Samecka-Cymerman and Kempers, 1999Kempers, , 2003Łojko et al, 2015). Low Ca contents in sediments were also noted in other reservoirs in southern Poland, like Dziećkowice, Piaseczno, Krempna and Zesławice, Dobczyce (Jasiewicz and Baran, 2006;Reczyński et al, 2006;Szarek-Gwiazda et al, 2006;Biel and Pasieczna, 2012).…”

The study was conducted on the Słup reservoir and the Nysa Szalona river (Poland). The material was benthic water and sediments. The aim of the study was to evaluate accumulation of Ca, Mg, Na and K in the sediments. The assessment of studied elements accumulation was based on calculations of the cumulation factor in the sediment. On this basis, an attempt was made to assess the possible impact of the compounds deposited in the sediment on the organisms living in the reservoir and on the change in the composition of water which constitutes the basis for drinking water. It was found that the studied sediments are rich in Ca, Mg and K compounds but relatively poor in sodium compounds. The level of the studied elements in the sediment and water in the annual cycle does not show strong changes and in the relatively stable conditions existing in the reservoir it does not pose a threat to organisms living there. Moreover, it does not adversely affect the composition of water which is obtained for water supply purposes.

“…A comparison of the obtained results in the literature on the subject shows that metal contents in Radew and Parseta waters were higher, for example, than in rivers draining the Karkonosze Mountains (southern Poland), which are under the influence of local industrial operations [17,18,20,30,33,34]. This, however, was not reflected in bottom sediment samples.…”

Environmental pollution influences all environmental components: air, precipitation, surface water, groundwater, and soil. Between these elements constant exchange and penetration by chemicals occurs. Their sources are natural and anthropogenic. The quantity and quality of these contaminants are varied and depend on a number of factors.Respect for its natural geographical location, terrain, geological structure, the presence of water reservoirs, and open spaces is important. The distortion of the natural landscape by people introduces more or less visible changes. However, they are not neutral to the environment. These changes result in alterations to the composition of air, water, and soil. This is done both at a low and a high degree of contamination and reduces the accumulation of chemical condition of the environment.Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 24, No. 5 (2015), [2167][2168][2169][2170][2171][2172][2173][2174][2175] AbstractOur study was conducted in the area of the Parseta and Radew rivers in 2012 and 2013. Samples were taken of water and bottom sediments. In terms of their physico-chemical composition, the tested waters can be characterized as slightly polluted. In terms of zinc and copper concentrations, the waters belong to purity class I, but the contents of cadmium, lead, and nickel exceed the Proposed Environmental Quality Standards for Priority Substances.As far as copper, nickel, zinc, and cadmium are concerned, the studied sediments were not polluted, and the geo-chemical index values were within class I. The relevant accumulation rates for metals in sediments can be ordered as follows: Cd

“…A positive correlation coefficient was found between the content of those elements in plant parts and water (r = 0.6857 for roots, r = 0.5527 for shoots, p < 0.05). Samecka-Cymerman and Kemper [12] demonstrated that the heavy metal content of the aquatic marcrophyte Mimulus gutattus was strongly correlated with heavy metal content in sediment and water. Herawati et al [13] reported a significant positive correlation between Cd and Zn content in rice and levels in various soil types.…”

The concentration of eighteen nutrients and heavy metals in Eichornia crassipes collected from different sites in the North Zhejiang, China, was concurrently studied. The concentration of the elements in whole plants was in the order of K (14896.92 µg g -1 )﹥P (5775.78 µg g -1 )﹥S (5596.38 µg g -1 )﹥Ca (2368.92 µg g -1 )﹥Pb (2380.03 µg g -1 )﹥Mn (852.90 µg g -1 )﹥Fe (782.63 µg g -1 ) ﹥Al (456.26 µg g -1 )﹥Zn (134.94 µg g -1 )﹥Sr (84.73 µg g -1 )﹥Mo (26.82 µg g -1 )﹥B (23.16 µg g -1 )﹥Cr (10.51 µg g -1 )﹥ Cu (4.64 µg g -1 )﹥Ni (4.49 µg g -1 )﹥As (3.94 µg g -1 )﹥Co (0.96 µg g -1 )﹥Cd (0.23 µg g -1 ). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Pb and Al in plant roots were as high as in the order of magnitude of 10 5 , followed by P in whole plant, Pb in shoots in the order of 10 4 , K in whole plant, Co, Cd, and As in roots in the order of 10 3 , and most of other detected elements in the order of 10 2 . The present study proved E. crassipes as a good accumulator of P, K, and heavy metals, indicated that E. crassipes possessed promising potential of phytoremediation for waste water or eutrophic water. A rapid re-growth ability of E. crassipes makes it possible that frequent harvesting of the plant is necessary to remove the nutrients and toxic metal ions from the polluted environment.
