Abstract
Contamination of soils, ground water, sediments, surface waters and air with trace metals is one of the major environmental problems. Owing of this study focused on the investigation of the capability of the dried biomass of Phaseolus mungo (L.) to remove heavy metal (chromium) from titanium industry effluent. From the results it is confirmed that P.mungo can be effectively used for the treatment of heavy metal polluted industry effluent.
