Phytoremediation of microplastics by water hyacinth. [PDF]

Environ Sci Ecotechnol
Microplastics have emerged as pervasive environmental pollutants, posing significant risks to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Current remediation strategies-including physical, chemical, and microbial methods-are inadequate for large-scale, in situ removal of microplastics, highlighting the urgent need for alternative solutions ...

Water Hyacinth: a Curse or a Crop?

Nature, 1960
AN organism often multiplies explosively when carried to a new environment. Rabbits in Australia are a familiar example, and now we have water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) in south-east Asia, the Nile, and the Congo1–3. In time, enemies of the invader will probably evolve in the new environment, or be introduced into it, and restore a balance, but ...
