UNASSIGNED: Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that uses green plants (living machines) for removal of contaminants of concern (COC). These plant species have the potential to remove the COC, thereby restoring the original condition of soil or water environment. The present study focuses on assessing the heavy metals (COC) present in the contaminated water bodies of Ranchi city, Jharkhand, India. Phytoremedial potential of three plant species: @entity35600 , Eichornia crassipes and Monochoria hastata were assessed in the present study. Heterogenous accumulation of metals was found in the three plant species. It was observed that the ratio of heavy metal concentration was different in different parts, i.e., shoots and roots. Positive results were also obtained for translocation factor of all species with minimum of 0.10 and maximum of 1. It was found experimentally that M. hastata has the maximum BFC for root as 4.32 and shoot as 2.70 (for @entity921 ). For @entity35600 , BCF of maximum was observed for root (163.5) and respective shoot 86.46 (for @entity68 ), followed by 7.3 and 5.8 for root and shoot (for @entity921 ) respectively. E. crassipes was found to possess a maximum BCF of 278.6 (for @entity921 and 151 (for @entity68 ) and shoot as 142 (for @entity921 ) and 36.13 (for @entity68 ).
