A passive phytoremediation study to investigate the environmental purification efficacy of
water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was carried out at Mbat-Abiati and Oberekkai Creeks …

A passive phytoremediation study was carried out between April, 2007 and March, 2008 at
three sampling stations; Ibiye Jetty, Obele and Idoluwo in Ologe Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria to …

The aquatic environment is incessantly polluted by the release of high toxic concentrations
of heavy metals which are bio-accumulative and persistent in nature. This investigation was …

The uptake of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, Cd and Pb) at various pH levels (2.0, 3.0, 4.0,
5.0, 6.0) was studied at sample locations (Onitsha, Atani, Aboh and Bomadi) on the Niger …

Analysis of some trace metals (cadmium, Cd; chromium, Cr; lead, Pb; manganese, Mn; zinc,
Zn) in reservoir water, reservoir sediment, and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) organs …

The contamination of the aquatic ecosystem with heavy metals has become a rising global
concern due to their possible adverse health effects on human beings and the environment …

The potential of Eichornia crassipes to serve as a phytoremediation plant in the cleaning up
of metals from contaminated coastal areas was evaluated in this study. Ten metals, As, Cd …

Abstract The levels of Ni, Zn, Fe, Co, Cr, Pb, Cu and Cd were determined in water hyacinth
and water samples collected from Mukuvisi and Manyame rivers in Zimbabwe. Metal …

This study evaluates the levels of Pb, Cd, Cr and Ni and the potential ability of water
hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) plant to bioaccumulate these metals in Woji Creek, Rivers …

Bio-Concentration Factor (BCF) and Translocation Ability (TA) of Copper (Cu), Cadmium
(Cd), Lead (Pb) and Nickel (Ni) in different habitats of hydrophytes within Nairobi dam was …
