Abstract
Tannery industry is common in many parts of the world and it pollutes groundwater and ecosystems and produce major heavy metals and sodium chloride. Heavy metal pollution due to industrial effluents is gaining worldwide attention. Morphology adaptations to heavy metals in the halophyte population were very specific. The present study aimed at some morphological characters in phytoremediation of heavy metals and ions from tannery effluents by using Suaeda maritima (L.) Dumort. and Sesuvium portulacastrum L. morphological characters were analyzed at an intervals of 30, 60, 90, 120 days. The results indicated that all the morphological characters were increased with an increasing concentration of tannery effluents and no injury symptoms in growth condition. It may be concluded this two halophytic plant species has a potentially suitable for phytoremediation of heavy metal and ions from the tannery effluent contaminated soil.
