Accumulation of metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb) contaminated water using Bacopa monnieri, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, Hemianthus callitrichoides and Glossostigma elatinoides

The pollution of aquatic ecosystems in Malaysia has emerged as a major ecological problem coinciding with rapid industrialization and urbanization. The contamination often contributed by industries bearing heavy metals, such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Pb can cause significant ecological and environme...
