The present study demonstrated the phytoremediation potential of E. crassipes for removal of mixed metals cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) within 14 days period. E. crassipes were grown in FSSA’s lake water and added with 1 mg/L and 3 mg/L of mixed metals (Cd+ Pb). The tolerance of E. crassipes in removin...
