Abstract

The study involved a laboratory experiment on the use of Pistia stratiotes in the phytoremediation of leachates collected from Kinkinau landfill. The physiochemical characteristics of the leachates were determined before and after the treatment. The experiment lasted for three weeks and was repeated for about six times the rate of the mean reduction was recorded. The highest rate of mean reduction was for heavy metals. Other physico-chemical parameters were drastically reduced. Pistia stratiotes is a suitable candidate for effective phytoremediation of water from Romi stream.
