“…Chromium concentration in the leaves of P. australis increased slightly during the entire investigation period. BRAGATO et al (2009) examined the accumulation of four metals (Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr) in P. australis in experimentally constructed wetlands which receive water from the River Po in Italy. Chromium was found to be accumulated in the stems and rhizome of P. australis mostly in July, and then the amount decreased and became constant from August to December.…”

ABSTRACT. The aquatic macrophytes Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud., Ceratophyllum demersum L., and Lemna minor L. were used as bioindicator plant species in order to define contamination level by Cr in Skadar lake (Montenegro). Plants, water and sediments were tested for the content of Cr at six locations around Lake Skadar during four periods in 2011. The content of Cr in the examined sediment was in the range of 35.6-127 mg/kg dry weight. The largest proportion of detected Cr (50.6%) was associated with the oxidizable phase in the form of organic complexes. The concentration of Cr in the studied macrophytes declined in the following order: C. demersum > P. australis > L. minor. The highest average content of Cr was detected in the leaf of C. demersum (11.4 mg/kg) in April.

“…Heavy metal analysis results of reed plants significantly depend upon the destruction procedure, applied [10]. The 2 Volume 12, No 2, March-April 2018; http://www.ijt.ir extraordinary ability of P. australis in absorption of heavy metals have been proven by many researchers around the world [11][12][13]. However, heavy metals are a key pollution in Iran as well documented in Anzali Wetland, had the highest level of contamination and therefore, protective plans must be implemented in the polluted area [14].…”

Background: Aras River is the main source of drinking water supply in northwestern provinces of Iran. The present study aimed to determine the concentration of heavy metals in the river on the border between Iran and Armenia.Methods: Three samples were taken from the Aras river water, the river bottom sediments and the root of Phragmites australis. In water sampling, the concentration of Hg, Mo, Cu, C o, B, Cd, Ni, Zn, Pb, Al, Mn, Cr, and Fe was noticed while in sediment sampling, to measure the concentration of Cu and Mo. In samples taken from the plant root, the concentration of Cu was only analyzed. The water sampling was performed at 11 stations along the river course during four seasons fall, winter, spring and summer 2011. Results:The highest and lowest concentrations respectively belonged to Al (2600 ppb) and Cd (0.4 ppb). Parameters including B, Cu, Mo and Al were all higher than the standard limits. The results obtained from sediment and root sampling indicated that the concentration of Cu exceeds the standard.Conclusion: Poor quality of Aras River reveals to the necessity of implementing mitigation measures to improve the water quality of the river.

“…Heavy metals such as Zn, Cu and Ni are trace elements and they play important roles in plant growth and development. However, high concentrations are toxic to the plants (Rengel, 2004;Bragato et al, 2009). On the other hand, dispensable elements such as Cd, Cr, and Pb, could have toxic effects on plants even at low concentrations (Kabata-Pendias and H. Pendias, 1992;Zayed and Terry, 2003).…”

“…Macrophytes are common plant species that serve as biomonitors (Demirezen and Aksoy, 2006;Vymazal et al, 2007;Bonanno 2012). Phragmites australis (common reed) is one of the most common macrophytes in aquatic ecosystems, and also several studies have proved its capacity of trace element bioaccumulation (Duman et al, 2007;Bragato et al, 2009;Maddison et al, 2009) In this study, we have comparatively investigated the heavy metal concentrations and mineral nutrient levels in Karasu river sediments and in P. australis plant samples to assess the biomonitoring capacity of P. australis. In addition, some physiological features such as lipid peroxidation and chlorophyll amounts of P. australis collected from different locations were comparatively analyzed.…”

“…Contrary to organic pollutants, decontamination of heavy metals requires extremely expensive methods. Therefore, using plants that have phytoremediation properties stand as potential means to reduce the decontamination costs (Lasat, 2002;Ghosh and Singh, 2005;Bragato, 2009). Macrophytes are common plant species that serve as biomonitors (Demirezen and Aksoy, 2006;Vymazal et al, 2007;Bonanno 2012).…”

Water contamination by heavy metals is a serious global problem due to increased environmental and health-related issues. In this study, we have comparatively investigated the heavy metal concentrations and mineral nutrient levels in Karasu river sediments and in plants samples of Phragmites australis (Cav.) in order to assess the biomonitoring capacity. Plant and sediment samples were collected from four different localities along Karasu River, and those samples were analyzed in terms of heavy metals such as Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cu, Pb, Co and Cd, and in terms of mineral elements such as K, Ca, Mg, Na, Al, and B using ICP-OES. In addition, lipid peroxidation, chlorophyll and carotenoid levels in plant samples were also checked. Sediments in Karasu River contained high concentrations of Ni and Cr metals. Moreover, P. australis showed hyper-accumulation for Cd and Zn in root and leaf samples, respectively. Although there was no significant difference in chlorophyll amounts among locations, lipid peroxidation was found to be high in samples taken from İliç.
