Abstract

The results showed that the river water contains heavy metals Arbes lead and cadmium. In addition to the found heavy metals, Arbes in river also found a few aquatic plants that are suspected to have the ability to accumulate heavy metals. After a laboratory test, it turns out both of these plants are used as potential agents of phytoremediation in accumulate lead and cadmium. Pistia stratiotes is able to accumulate lead as much as 16,683 ppm (75,832%), cadmium as 11,585 ppm (77,233%) for 4 weeks and Limnocharis flava accumulate lead as much as 13,799 ppm (62,723%), cadmium as 12,858 ppm (85,720%) for 4 weeks. Pistia stratiotes and Limnocharis flava is very potential as agents of phytoremediation because it can accumulate lead and cadmium in large and a short time.
