Method for the Removal of Toxic Metals from Waste water

Scientists studied how to remove toxic metals (copper and lead) from laboratory waste water using phytoremediation, a method that uses plants to clean pollution. They used the apu-apu plant, which absorbs heavy metals. Most of the metal removal happened early in the process. This research shows that plants can be an effective and natural way to clean contaminated water.
