Abstract: Aquatic sediment is the main source of water pollutant.Aquatic plants have the ability to purify water.Potted planting by polluted soil was conducted to analyze the ability to absorb Cd and Pb by eight different aquatic plants.The results indicated that the concentration of Cd in Cyperus prolifer increased with the concentration in soil.When the concentration of Cd in soil is 5 mg·kg-1 DW,the accumulated concentration is 1.13 mg·kg-1 DW and 1.63 mg·kg-1 DW in aboveground parts and belowground parts respectively.The content of Pb in belowground parts of experimental plants are 10 to 20 times to the aboveground parts.The content of Pb in belowground parts of Cyperus prolifer and Typha orientalis planted in soil with high concentration of Pb reached 20 mg·kg-1 DW.Transfer and accumulation coefficient of Cd in soil of Iris wilsonii,Cyperus prolifer,Nymphaea are larger than 1,which suggested that Cyperus prolifer has the ability to accumulate Cd from soil while Cyperus prolifer,Typha orientalis have the ability to capture Pb from soil.
