A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of adding 100 and 500 mg x kg(-1) of exogenous iron (Fe) on the lead (Pb) accumulation in Typha latifolia growing on a soil with 0, 100, 500 and 1000 mg x kg(-1) of Pb, respectively. In treatment 500 mg Fe x kg(-1), the Pb concen tration in T. latifolia shoots and roots was higher, compared with that in treatment 100 mg Fe x kg(-1). When the soil Pb concentration was 1000 mg x kg(-1), the Pb concentration in T. lati folia shoots and roots in treatment 500 mg Fe x kg(-1) increased by 33.7% and 50.5%, respectively, compared with that in treatme...
