Methods of using carbon nanotubes as filter media to remove aqueous heavy metals [PDF]
, 2012 Although carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are well known to have a strong affinity to various heavy metals in aqueous solution, little research has been dedicated to exploit their use in fixed-bed water treatment systems (e.g., trickling filters).

Heavy metal deposition on plants in relation to immission and bulk precipitation.
Silva Fennica, 1981 Monitoring of heavy metal accumulation in plants has been used to reflect the deposition of heavy metals in terrestrial ecosystems. In some cases, the accumulation rates in plants are linearly correlated to deposition measured as bulk precipitation ...
