Phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated soils by arsenic hyperaccumulating plants in selected areas of Enugu State, Southeastern, Nigeria

Under the current study phytoremediation of arsenic from a tropical wetlands and lakes in selected areas of Enugu State was performed. Thirteen soil, plant root and shoot samples used in this research were collected respectively from the Adani Wetlands (six samples), Opi-Agu Lakes (four samples) and...
