Abstract
In this article, the effects of high concentrations of four types of organic solvents (benzene, toluene, chloroform, pyridine) on three types of aquatic plants (Ceratophyllum demersum L., Elodea canadensis Mchk., Chara fragilis D.) were studied. The experiments were conducted in laboratory (freshwater) microcosms. The tested pollutant concentrations reached 5000 times the Maximum Allowable Concentration (MACs). The incubation temperature was maintained at 24±1.5°C, with observations spanning 7 days (168 h). Macrophyte C. fragilis could not remain viable (death within 24 h). Macrophytes C. demersum and E. canadensis showed a relatively high level of resistance to water pollution by pyridine and chloroform. Therefore, these species may serve as potential candidates for phytoremediation of aquatic environments contaminated with these substances.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of General Chemistry is a journal that covers many problems that are of general interest to the whole community of chemists. The journal is the successor to Russia’s first chemical journal, Zhurnal Russkogo Khimicheskogo Obshchestva (Journal of the Russian Chemical Society ) founded in 1869 to cover all aspects of chemistry. Now the journal is focused on the interdisciplinary areas of chemistry (organometallics, organometalloids, organoinorganic complexes, mechanochemistry, nanochemistry, etc.), new achievements and long-term results in the field. The journal publishes reviews, current scientific papers, letters to the editor, and discussion papers.
