Study on the use of Typha spp. for the phytotreatment of water contaminated with ibuprofen

Several studies on phytotoxic effects caused by organic xenobiotics and their removal from water by macrophytes have already been performed to evaluate the usefulness of these plants for

Mitigation of atrazine, S-metolachlor, and diazinon using common emergent aquatic vegetation.

Evaluating acute toxicity of methyl parathion application in constructed wetland mesocosms

Wetland ecosystems have reduced ambient levels of various organic and metallic compounds, although their effectiveness on agricultural pesticides is not well documented, and data suggest that wetlands play a significant role in mitigating the effect of MeP exposure in sensitive aquatic biota.
