Journal ArticleDOI
Lead heavy metal toxicity induced changes on growth and antioxidative enzymes level in water hyacinths [ Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.)]
TL;DR: It is suggested that water hyacinth plants have efficient mechanism to tolerate Pb toxicity, as evidenced by an increased level of antioxidative enzymes.
Book ChapterDOI
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated with Metals and Metalloids at Mining Areas: Potential of Native Flora
TL;DR: In this context, biotechnology offers phytoremediation techniques as a suitable alternative to in situ methods that are less environmentally disruptive and more economical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of arsenic by aquatic plants in large-scale field conditions: Opportunities for phytoremediation and bioindication
TL;DR: The results indicate the potential application of these species for phytofiltration of arsenic through constructed treatment wetlands or introduction of these plant species into natural water bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective chemical extraction of heavy metals in tailings and soils contaminated by mining activity: Environmental implications
TL;DR: In this article, a seven-step sequential extraction procedure was used to investigate the mobility and retention behaviour of Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr, Co, Ni, Mo, Cd, Bi, Sn, W, Ag, As and U in specific physical-chemical and mineral phases in mine tailings and soils in the surroundings of the abandoned Ervedosa mine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of lead on phytotoxicity, growth, biochemical alterations and its role on genomic template stability in Sesbania grandiflora: a potential plant for phytoremediation.

TL;DR: Higher concentrations of Pb enhanced the oxidative damage by over production of ROS in S. grandiflora that had potential tolerance mechanism to Pb as evidenced by increased level of photosynthetic pigments, MDA content, and the level of antioxidative enzymes.
