About this document

Heavy Metal Uptake by Hydrilla Verticillata by WrenMyrrh Demasana is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study examined the capacity of Hydrilla verticillata, an aquatic plant, to uptake heavy metals chromium and cadmium. The plant was able to uptake higher amounts of both metals at low concentrations, with uptake decreasing at higher concentrations. Maximum chromium accumulation occurred in leaves at 15 mg/L and in roots at 20 mg/L, while maximum cadmium accumulation was in both roots and shoots at 3 mg/L. Exposure to the metals decreased the plant
