After application, pesticides remaining in fields have the potential to contaminate water resources and pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems. This study demonstrated that the free floating aquatic plant Eichhornia crassipes can effectively accumulate and remove triazine pesticides from water-sediment microcosms, with root accumulation and translocation depending on the hydrophobicity of the pesticides. Microbial degradation in sediment was found to be the main pathway for removing terbuthylazine in the microcosm.
After application, pesticides remained in the field may contaminate water resources through surface runoff and leaching, posing a threat to aquatic ecosystem. In the current study, the accumulation, translocation, distribution and removal of four triazine pesticides (simazine, atrazine, terbuthylazine and metribuzin) by free floating aquatic plant Eichhornia crassipes (E. crassipes) in water-sediment microcosm were investigated and the removal mechanisms were explored. E. crassipes was exposed to an initial concentration of 50 mu g center dot L-1 and the pesticide levels in water, sediment, roots and shoots of E. crassipes were monitored during 30 days. The results demonstrated that E. crassipes was capable of accumulating triazine pesticides with the bio-concentration factor (BCF) ranging from 0.8 to 18.4. Triazine pesticides were mainly stored in roots, and root accumulation and translocation amount depend on the hydrophobicity of the pesticides. The removal of the pesticides in water were significantly accelerated by the presence of E. crassipes, with the removal efficiency ranging from 66% to 79% after 30 days of treatment. Though phytoaccumulation only constituted 2-18% of the total spiked pesticides in the microcosm, E. crassipes played a vital role in removing simazine, atrazine and metribuzin. However, microbial degradation in sediment was the main pathway for the removal of terbuthylazine in the microcosm. This study demonstrated the potential application of E. crassipes to accelerate removal of contaminants from aquatic environment.
