Heavy metal utilization by locally available plants

The present paper deals with removal of heavy metal namely Copper from polluted water using plant species oscimum and mint. The experiment was divided into 2 groups. Group one as control and group II treated as experimental which received 4ppm of Copper sulphate. In the experimental plants were exposed to 4ppm Cu for 24 and 48 hrs. And the amount of Cu depleted from water was analyzed. From the experiment it is evident that the Cu from water was utilized by the plants was more during 48 hrs than in 24 hr.
