“…the values of the ratio between element concentrations in the sediment and those in the water were the highest for Fe (164.132). the result of this study that the concentrations of metals were far higher in the sediment than in the lake water agrees with some previous findings (9,10,17,39,43). Lead was not detected in the water, due to the fact that its concentration was lower than the detection limit of the method (detection limit for Pb in water was lower than 0.010 mg·l -1 ).…”

“…In UW, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, and As were identified as higher except for Zn. The results are comparable with the findings of Samecka-Cymerman and Kemper [35] and Brankovic [36]. However, our findings have elaborated and emphasized that the roots of E. crassipes acted as a better sink for such heavy metal(loid) accumulation, as previously reported by Lu et al [37], Hasan et al [38], and Victor et al [39], than shoots.…”

Evaluation of Phytoremediation Potential of an Aquatic Macrophyte (Eichhornia crassipes) in Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater generation is a major concern, as most of it goes untreated. Industries, urban areas, and agriculture are the major contributors to wastewater. Phytoremediation is an effective method of wastewater treatment. However, the potential of local aquatic species for hyper-accumulation of heavy metals remains elusive. This study focuses on evaluating the native macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes for phytoremediation potential in different source-based water environments: freshwater (FW), industrial (IW), and urban wastewater (UW). Physico-chemical analysis was conducted on water samples (five samples from each source) along with the corresponding E. crassipes plants for assessing physiological, nutritional, and heavy metal parameters. The results showed distinct characteristics among the water sources. The FW had a high pH, and the IW exhibited elevated levels of electrical conductivity (EC: 1746 μS cm−1), total dissolved solids (TDS: 864 mg L−1), chloride (Cl−: 557.83 mg L−1), sulfate (SO4−: 137.27 mg L−1), and calcium (Ca++: 77.83 mg L−1) ions. The UW exhibited high bicarbonate (HCO3−: 123.38 mg L−1), sodium (Na+: 154 mg L−1), and potassium (K+: 37.12 mg L−1) ions. The Cd contamination exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) limits (0.003 mg L−1) in the FW (0.05 mg L−1 in FW-5) and UW (0.05 mg L−1 in UW-3); Cr contamination was higher than the permissible limits of the WHO, National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS), and the European Union (EU) (0.05 mg L−1) in FW, IW, and UW; arsenic (As) in IW exceeded the WHO, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and EU limits of 10 μg L−1, and Pb in UW exceeded the WHO (0.01 mg L−1), NEQS (0.05 mg L−1), and EU (0.01 mg L−1) limits. E. crassipes displayed different traits depending on the water sources. FW-grown plants had a higher biomass and chlorophyll-b content, while UW-grown plants had higher photosynthesis rates and chlorophyll-a content. Shoots accumulated more Na+, K+, and Ca++ ions than roots. Metal translocation from roots to shoots followed specific patterns for each source: the TFs of Zn = 3.62 in FW > Cd = 2.34 in UW > Cr = 1.61 and Pb = 1.29 in IW and BCFs were found in ascending order: Zn > Ni > Cd > As > Pb in FW, Cd > Zn > Ni > Cr > Pb > As in IW, and Cd > Ni > Pb > Cr > Zn > As in UW. The bioconcentration factor was higher in the roots than in the shoots. These findings suggest that E. crassipes shows promise as a phytoremediation option for heavy metal-contaminated wastewater due to its ability to thrive in harsh wastewater conditions with a higher TF > 1 and BCF > 1. Therefore, the utilization of these macrophytes holds potential for wastewater treatment.

“…The rate of absorption of this element was a high , its being the most plants play an important role in circulating nutrients and trace metal in aquatic ecosystems according to 25 . They spread all over the world and due to their high capacity in uptake of nutrients and other pollutants from water treatment 26 , the high concentration of Pb in leaf plant refers to uptake of inorganic complexes because of their higher surface area compared to their volume according to 26 ,Therefore, it may be considered one of the most harmful minerals and the extent the influence of the surrounding environment used it as a result of events and damage to plants . The normal level of lead element in the leaf tissues of mature plant growing on uncontaminated soil ranges from (0.01-0.1 ppm), It is toxic to the plant if it's between (3 ppm) 27 .…”

The influence lead metal on DNA integrity in leaf plant can measure by potential effects of pollutants accumulation metal, Pb in leaf plant Phragmites australis was subjected to RAPD analysis, have been found metal at concentrations of S1, S2,S3 (0.045 , 2.97, 0.93) Respectively. polymorphisms became evident as the presence and absence of DNA fragments in affected samples compared to effect samples. Five prime was selected OP-L05, OP-M14, OP-M20, OP-V09 and OP-M05 were used , the genomic DNA of leaf did not appear polymorphic band at OP-L05 except molecular weight 600bp and presence of polymorphic band ,OP-M20 show only polymorphic band at 850bp,OP-M05 did not show any polymorphisms and OP-M14, OP-V09 primers appeared polymorphisms when compare unexposed in control, this study confirmed RAPD markers a fast and simple technique can be used detection of forensic environmental.
