Abstract

Anthropogenic sources release heavy metals into the environment which cause for concern. Heavy metals are toxic pollutants that show perilous effects on all living organisms. This research shows that, the ability of Polygonum chinensis to accumulate heavy metals was examined during different seasons collected from Ambazari Lake, Nagpur, India. The plant showed different ability to absorb and accumulate different heavy metals. The bioconcentration, bioaccumulation and translocation factors revealed that the plant P. chinensis can be considered as heavy metal accumulator and can effectively translocate arsenic to aerial part.
