  To Measure the Absorption of Metals, from Soil through the Process of Phytoremediation at Varying Levels of Concentrations
  Author(s): Habib Ahmad Jan*
  
  The contamination of metals has an impact, on a considerable number of people worldwide particularly in developing nations. This occurs primarily because environmental policies are either lacking or rarely enforced leading to health related issues are abundant. To reduce the contamination levels in soils, various chemical, physical, and biological methods are utilized. Among biological methods a popular method is phytoremediation in which plants species are utilized that can absorb heavy metals from soil as part of the nutrition Intake. A recent study indicated that the removal capability of Typha latifolia, a plant species commonly used for phytoremediation, is related with concentration of heavy metals in the soil and/or irrigation water, but the study remained inconclusive regarding precise characterization of this effect, due to small sample size and lack of control on th..
