Abstract

Trace metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a major environmental problem since their accumulation along the food chain poses a public health risk. In this study, we tried to find whether, and to what extent, native plant species along the Suoxu River, China, may be useful for phytostabilization. The concentration of several metal elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in sediment and plant samples collected from different sections of the Suoxu River, China was investigated. Results show that the concentrations of trace metals in the sediment and plants are similar and are found in the order of Zn > Cr > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cd. Standing stock concentration varied between plants groups and metals. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TrF) values were
