HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICITY OF GANGA RIVER AT KANPUR AND ITS BIOREMEDIATION

Abstract

A preliminary investigation of heavy metal pollution in the Ganga River in newlineKanpur with the focus on phytoremediation with chemical is conduct. Eichornea newlinecrassipes and Nelumbo nucifera were chosen for treatment due to their wide newlinedistribution and apparent ability to accumulate heavy metals in aquatic newlineecosystems. Water samples were collected at two different sampling sites newlineThe sites were chosen so as to compare the anthropogenic activity and Industrial newlinelocation. first site chosen Industrial area (Jajmau) and sample collected from river newlinebank as well as mid stream of the river.
