“…Copper content in researched rivers was lower than those described in the literature from Europe and the other side of the world [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. But a comparative analysis of the copper content in Polish rivers shows higher levels in the Radew and Parseta.…”

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

“…The level of toxic metals (Pb, Cr, Hg etc) can be reduced from contaminated water by a number of aquatic plants taken up by the roots system and transported to the stems and leaves without showing toxicity syndrome has confirmed by many studies (Rai et al, 1995;Cardwell et al, 2002;Abidal and Harikrishna 2010;Sarma, 2011). Maximum accumulation of Cu, Fe, Cr, Pb and Zn was recorded in Eichornia crassipes where as Mn was observed maximum in Pistia stratiotes.…”

“…in the environment can be reduced from contaminated sites or media using a number of aquatic and terrestrial plants. Metals are taken up in solution by the root system of plants and transported to the stems and leaves without showing toxicity syndromes and this have been supported by many studies [10], [11]. As a developing technology [12], phytoremedaition, particularly phytoextraction have been applied to metals contaminations containing (e.g.…”

Abstract-Soil contaminated with iron and chromium was planted with Psoralea pinnata under greenhouse condition. The growth of the plants and phytoextraction of the metal contaminants from the soil were studied for a period of three months. The results showed that Psoralea pinnata was able remove both chromium and iron from the contaminated soil during the period of experimentation. The percentage reduction in chromium and iron concentrations in the experimental soil varied greatly at different concentration of both contaminants in the two soils used. It was observed however that at some points in the experiment involving mixed concentration of iron and chromium, there were preferences on accumulation of metals by Psoralea pinnata. Results show that chromium was initially most accumulated by Psoralea pinnata (up to 68%). As the concentration of contaminants increased, at high concentrations, iron was recorded to have been accumulated more in Psoralea pinnata (up to 55%).
