Arsenic-Absorbing Plant Offers Lifeline for Contaminated Communities
The study looked at how much arsenic a plant called Blyxxa malayana can absorb and accumulate. The plant was grown in different solutions with varying levels of arsenic. The researchers found that the more arsenic in the soil and solution, the more arsenic the plant absorbed. This shows that Blyxxa malayana can be a good indicator of arsenic contamination in the environment.
