Abstract

This study assessed the accumulation of heavy metals in aquatic plants from 2008 to 2018, reflecting changes in environmental conditions due to increased industrial activity and pollution. Aquatic plants, crucial for treating pollution and improving water quality, were analyzed in East Hammar and Al-Chebiyesh marshes. The research showed species-specific differences in element accumulation. Vallisneria spiralis (2008) and Ceratophyllum demersum (2018) accumulated 30 elements each, while Potamogeton perfoliatus (2018) also accumulated 30 elements. Ceratophyllum demersum (2008), Potamogeton crispus (2008 and 2018), and Potamogeton perfoliatus (2018) accumulated 29 elements each. Vallisneria spiralis (2018) accumulated 27 elements. Vallisneria spiralis (2008) recorded the highest concentrations of iron, boron, vanadium, tin, cesium, bismuth, indium, and cerium. The highest titanium concentration was noted in 2018. The highest aluminum accumulation was in Vallisneria spiralis (2008). Potamogeton perfoliatus accumulated the most barium, strontium, and molybdenum, with concentrations of 2682, 629.7, and 89.9ppm, respectively. Potamogeton species consistently accumulated 0.4 ppm of antimony and the highest zinc concentration at 91.8ppm. These findings underscore the distinct element accumulation capabilities of different aquatic plant species.
