In this study, we analyzed toxic metals in leaves and marine sediment samples from the black mangrove in Sepetiba Bay to measure contamination and the use of Avicennia schaueriana leaves as bioindicator of toxic metal environmental pollution. The concentrations of heavy metals, namely cadmium (Cd), chrome (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn), were determined by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). High concentrations of Mn were found in the leaves, while high concentrations of Mo and Zn were found in sediments. A. schaueriana leaves showed a tremendous capacity to absorb toxic metals, tolerating high concentration of manganese and may be used as phytoremediator for this toxic metal in impacted coastal marine environments. Herein, we reported for the first time the utilization of Avicennia schaueriana as a highly efficient accumulator for Mn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
