The Effect of Nile Pollutants From Toxic 1 Heavy Metals and Natural Radioelements Wastes on The Physiology of Certain l Aquatic Weeds

Abstract

Due to large production of both low level radioactive liquid and toxic industrial wastes, aquatic plants are used to absorb undesirable ions from waste solutions. The present work illustrates, the uptake of some metal ions existed in low level liquid radioactive or industrial wastes namely U VI, Th IV, Ce Ill, Fe Ill, KMn04, Cu II, Pb II, Ni II, Cd II and phenol by Eichomia crassipes or Potamogeton crispus plant. The uptake process was performed for each metal ions, and in presence of some additives then for groups of metals, which represent, the radioactive and toxic wastes.
