AB  - The potential of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) Solms) as a bioacummulatorl bioindicator
of arsenic in dilute solution was investigated. Results show that in the absence of a high level of phosphate,
it can remove arsenic effectively. However, in high phosphate concentration, arsenic uptake was inhibited.
A arsenic could also be leached out from the plant. Hence caution must be exercised in interpreting the arsenic
status of the aquatic environment as seen through water hyarcinth.
