The pollution of heavy metals in aquatic environments is a major concern for human beings. The present study demonstrates the phytoremediation potential of the aquatic macrophyte Pistia stratiotes for removal of Cr, Pb and Ni from simulated wastewater. Pistia stratiotes was grown in Faculty of Scien...
