摘要: The presence of toxic substances in wastewaters and outdoor bodies water is an important ecotoxicological issue. aim this review to illustrate how duckweeds, which are small, simply constructed, floating aquatic plants, well suited addressing concern. ability duckweeds grow rapidly on nutrient-rich facilitate the removal many from aqueous solution comprises potential these macrophytes for remediation wastewater polluted reservoirs, while producing usable biomass containing unwanted having been taken up. Their ease cultivation under controlled even sterile conditions makes excellent test organisms determining toxicity contaminants, as model plants assessment ecotoxicity. Duckweeds also valuable establishing biomarkers effects contaminants higher but current usefulness du...
