During the last decades the discharge of heavy metals into water bodies has increased dramatically. There, they interact with organic and inorganic ligands thus precipitating and accumulating in the sediments; mainly adsorbed on the fine grain components. The sediments of the littoral zone represent a sink of heavy metals that in certain conditions, can be released or recycled by the aquatic macrophytes. The water bodies of the industrial belt arround Buenos Aires receive high inputs of contaminants, resulting in high concentrations of metals in their waters. Schoenoplectus californicus is a native emergent macrophyte and its presence in the margins of rivers with high metal concentrations in Buenos Aires suggests a great tolerance to the m...
